Chaka Khan Shades Cher After She Revealed Her Love For Younger Men

Chaka Khan left what some fans would call a "shady comment" on The Neighborhood Talk's Instagram post about a fellow singer's dating preferences.  

Singer Cher appeared on 'The Jennifer Hudson Show' where she revealed how she was too "nervous" to date Elvis Presley because "of his reputation." Cher, 77, admitted she gets "shy" around the opposite sex, so she defaults to younger men who are bold enough to step to her.

"The reason I got with young men is because men my age or older ... they were always terrified to approach me," the 'Believe' singer said. "And younger men were the only ones that [would]."

Cher, often referred to by the media as the "Goddess of Pop," is currently dating 38-year-old music executive Alexander "AE" Edwards. Edwards used to date Amber Rose.

Khan wrote a one-word clap back to Cher's comments on Instagram.

"WHATEVER.........," Khan, 71, commented. The post has since garnered over 9,000 Likes.

Cher has not responded to the Chicago native's comments.

This isn't the first time the "Ain't Nobody" singer has publicly called out someone.

In 2023, Khan, real name Yvette Marie Stevens, did not approve of 'Rolling Stone' magazine's "Greatest Singers Of All Times" list, where Mary J. Blige and Mariah Carey were ranked higher than her.

​​"These b*****s are blind as a motherf*****g bat. They need hearing aids," adding that Blige, 53, sang "flat" when she covered "Sweet Thing," her 1975 ballad on 'The Los Angeles Magazine's' podcast "The Originals." Blige was listed at No. 25, while the former Rufus singer ranked at No. 29.

"I told Mary J. Blige she f****d it up," she continued.

Khan also alleged someone engaged in "payola," the practice of using bribery to influence, position, or promote a particular product or interest, to get Carey, who has been nominated for 34 Grammy Awards, the No. 5 spot on the list.

Khan, known as the "Queen of Funk," would later apologize on Instagram, saying she had no "intention to cause pain or upset anyone."
