Chaka Khan doesn’t condone having a lower placement than Mary J. Blige, Mariah Carey and Adele on Rolling Stone‘s “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” list. While the 10-time Grammy-winning vocalist appeared recent episode of podcast The Originals, host Andrew Goldman congratulated Khan for her Rolling Stone inclusion.
“I didn’t even know what the hell you were talking about, so obviously this don’t mean a great deal to me,” she responded. “These people don’t quantify or validate me in any way.”
However, the 69-year-old was curious to hear who else was on the list. While she agreed with Aretha Franklin placement at #1 (“As she fucking should be”), she was jolted by Carey being at #5 (“That must be payola or some shit like that.”). When Khan – placed at #29 – heard of Adele’s inclusion seven spots ahead of her at #22, she was completely floored (“Okay, I quit.”).
