The 'I'm Every Woman' singer went off on the likes of Beyoncé, Mariah Carey, Adele and Mary J. Blige for being ranked higher than her spot at no. 29 on 'Rolling Stone''s list of the '200 Greatest Singers Of All Time.'

Remember a couple of months ago when Rolling Stones released their list of the 200 Greatest Singers of All Time?

Celine Dion fans were up in arms because the Power of Love singer didn't make the list.


Well, it turns out Chaka Khan is none too pleased with the list either... even though she's on it.

The I'm Every Woman singer had some choice words about Rolling Stones' rankings on the latest episode of Los Angeles Magazine Presents: The Originals podcast with Andrew Goldman. At the conclusion of the hour-long podcast, Khan revealed she had not read the list, so Goldman enlightened her of her number 29 spot.

Khan was in agreement with Aretha Franklin's number one position on the list. But then things took a turn as Khan did not hold back her disapproval of some of the artists that landed ahead of her.

Of Mariah Carey's number five spot, Khan snarked:

"That must be payola or some sh*t like that."

And of Beyoncé landing at number eight, she shared:

"I don't have anything to say about Beyoncé. She's a great singer. She really has [the] opportunity to be a great singer."
"She has what it takes. She got the chops. She does."

After Goldman revealed Adele ranked 22nd, the 10-time-Grammy-winner sighed:

"I quit."

But then she went off when she learned Mary J. Blige fared better than her at number 25.

"You know what? That's why I feel the way I do."
"These are some blind bat b*tches. These b*tches are blind as a motherf**king bat!"
"They need hearing aids. They don't have hearing aids. They have no eyes. They have no ears."
"You know what? These must be the children of Helen Keller."

You can listen to the segment below.

A few listeners were shocked by some of the singer's assessments.



And Carey's fans rushed to defend their idol.




But many agreed with Khan's stance on the rankings.





At least we can all agree on Aretha, though.

Trump Just Gave A New Reason For Why He Closes His Eyes During Meetings—And Here We Go Again

President Donald Trump was widely mocked after he explained to New York Magazine that the reason why he's constantly photographed with his eyes closed is not because he's sleeping... but because the meetings he attends are "boring as hell."

In November, The New York Times published an article that argued that despite Trump's projection of “round-the-clock energy, virility and physical stamina" and the fact that he "and the people around him still talk about him as if he is the Energizer Bunny of presidential politics," that image is getting harder to pull off because Trump is showing signs of aging.

'America's Next Top Model' Winner Calls Out New Documentary For Viewing Show Through 'Woke Lens'

The 1990s and early 2000s were a very different time when it came to entertainment, especially how women and people of color were treated on television.

An infamous example of this was the hit television show America's Next Top Model, which ran for 24 seasons. There have been stereotypes and distasteful jokes circulating forever about what it takes to be a model, most focusing on dietary restrictions and infidelity, but America's Next Top Model took that to an entirely different place.

Conservatives Are Melting Down Over 'He-Man' Movie Joke About Pronouns—And They Missed The Point Entirely

Nicholas Galitzine stars as the titular super hero in the upcoming film adaptation Masters of the Universe, and given our times, it's only natural the film would make a joke about pronouns.

Even MTG Is Demanding That MAGA Admit The Killing Of Alex Pretti Was Completely Unjustified

Former Georgia Republican Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene continues to speak out against the MAGA movement that brought her to national prominence, this time calling on Republicans to condemn the killing of Alex Pretti by ICE agents in Minneapolis.

Calls for an investigation have intensified from across the political spectrum after analysis of multiple videos showed ICE officers removing a handgun from Pretti—a weapon that authorities said Pretti was permitted to carry but was not handling at the time—before fatally shooting him.
