Yes Chaka Khan is a legend. Yes it is black history month. But that Star Spangled Banner did everyone dirty including the ancestors. It had to be said.

What we NOT gone do is blaspheme the name of Chaka Khan. NOT on my watch and NOT on this land.

Khan performance was compared to the time Fergie was accused of butchering “The Star Spangled Banner” a couple of years ago and later said she attempted “something special for the NBA.”
In case you missed Chaka at the All-star game in Chicago on Sunday, watch the YouTube clip below and judge for yourself.
One commenter joked, “Colin Kaepernick stood up. So he could walk out.”
Khan’s uneven rendition came after rapper Common and Jennifer Hudson’s emotional tributes to Kobe Bryant.
