Chaka Khan has expressed regret for her criticism of a list of the Greatest Singers of All Time, saying she was "pitted against other artists and took the bait".

Chaka Khan has expressed her regret for her vitriolic comments about Rolling Stone's Greatest Singers of all time list, in which she ranked at number 29, below artists such as Mariah Carey, Adele, and Mary J. Blige. Initially, she had remarked: “I don’t even know what the hell you’re talking about, so obviously this don’t mean a great deal to me,” followed by, “That must be payola or some s**t like that. OK, I quit.” and “These b*****s are blind as a m***********g bat! They need hearing aids, they don’t have eyes, they don’t have ears. They must be the children of Helen Keller.”

After her comments went viral, Khan has since apologised, saying: “Recently, I was asked about a list of the greatest singers of all time and instead of questioning the need for such a list, I was pitted against other artists and I took the bait. As artists, we are unfairly put into boxes. Being an artist or musician is not a competition. It’s a gift, for which I am truly grateful.”
