During an interview for Los Angeles Magazine’s The Originals podcast, Chaka Khan said what she really thought about the singing skills of Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, and other artists.
When Rolling Stone’s list of the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” came out in January 2023, the 69-year-old singer decided to talk about it.

The performer of “I’m Every Woman” said that she didn’t know about the ranking until Andrew Goldman, the host of the podcast, told her that she was on it and praised her for being chosen.

She is No. 29 on the list, two spots higher than Luther Vandross, who is No. 31, and just one spot lower than Mahalia Jackson, who is No. 28.

She said, “I didn’t even know what the hell you were talking about, so it’s clear that this doesn’t mean much to me.” This shows that she didn’t know what was being talked about.
“These people can’t measure me or prove anything about me,” I told them.

Still, even though she said she didn’t care how the other singers on the list were ranked, the “Queen of Funk” had a lot to say about the subject.

Khan thought that Mariah Carey’s No. 5 spot must have come about because of bribery or some other kind of wrongdoing.
