Singer Chaka Khan, born Yvette Marie Stevens, calls out artists who use auto tunes and wants them to find careers elsewhere. The famous diva is known for her songs like “Through the Fire,” “I Feel for You,” “Ain’t Nobody,” and several others.
Chaka, along with several celebrities, attended the 26th iteration of the Angel Ball which was held to raise money for Gabrielle’s Angel Foundation. The foundation was established to provide support to researchers, scientists and medical experts in their quest for a world without cancer.
The charity’s website reveals that around 92 cents of every fundraising dollar the Angel Ball provides will be donated to cancer-free causes.
During Monday night’s event, Chaka talked about artists who are forced to use auto-tune in their music. He advised that they withdraw from the music industry and find a job in the post office.

Chaka was among the many artists who attended and performed at the Angel Ball. While talking to Page Sixthe “I’m Every Woman” singer talks about music and how impressed she is with the quality of work some young artists are producing.
“There’s some great stuff out there, and there’s some great artists,” Chaka said. “There are some really good young artists out there doing great work that I admire.” The icon gets a little scathing when it comes to other musicians who rely on auto-tune to make music. According to the “Ain’t Nobody” singer, they need to take a job at the post office.
“But the others, they just need to get them a job at the Post Office – they’re always hiring!” Chaka continued. “People use Autotune. They need to go to the Post Office quickly.”

Chaka also talks about how some of the most talented female singers have very low self-esteem, which saddens her. “I feel very sad. It saddens me that so much… insecurity exists in these girls. They really need to know that they are gold and that they are really valuable,” said the artist Page Six.
Chaka was among several artists performing at the annual fundraiser. She opened her show with her hit song, “Tell Me Something Good,” and ended it with “I’m Every Woman.”
The fundraiser was held for the Gabrielle Angel Foundation for Cancer Research, founded by Denise Rich. The singer-songwriter launched an annual fundraiser in honor of his daughter Gabrielle, who died of Hodgkin’s disease and leukemia at the age of 27.

While speaking with VladTV in 2020, Chaka was asked what she thought about working with pop sensation Ariana Grande. The artist revealed that although he thought the young singer was “fine,” he had no intention of working with her or any other woman.
