*Chaka Khan revealed in a new interview that she’s done with touring. 

“I got this rich-ass life. I’ve got great-grandchildren I want to get to know better. So I will not do another tour,” Chaka, 70, said in a new interview with Rolling Stone

“Riding on a bus, pissing in a little bathroom, waking up in the morning and you’re five hours from your hotel where you can take a proper bath or shower and go to bed like a normal human being. And then you got a gig that night. That’s friggin’ insane,” she added. 

“I’ll do dates, but it won’t look like a tour. They’ll be far enough apart that I can have time to sleep in between,” the soulful songstress said. 

Earlier this year, Khan told Entertainment Tonight, “I’ve done everything but kick myself in the back of the head… I feel like I’ve done a great deal. I’m wondering, you know, what’s next?”

Meanwhile, the music legend told Rolling Stone that she no longer holds a grudge against Kanye West for sampling her voice in his 2004 hit “Through the Wire.”

“That was my fault, too, for feeling salty about that in any way,” she told Rolling Stone. “Because if I understood the rap game more completely, like I do now, then that wouldn’t have been a big deal to me.” When asked if it bothers her to this day, she responded, “No, I’m done. Please. I’m not hanging on to any silly grudges.”

Chaka previously expressed annoyance that Ye made her sound like a “chipmunk” on the song.

“[Kanye] didn’t mention that he was gonna speed it up, you know, three times its normal speed,” Khan said in 2022 when she appeared on Good Day DC, Complex reported.

“Had he, I would’ve had something to say,” she added. “But since I didn’t think of that, believe me, I think of it now. I ask, ‘How are we gonna do this?’”
