Chaka Khan Brings Up Drug Use During Essence Festival Performance

Chaka Khan 2011

Chaka Khan 2011

Chaka Khan along with Kanye West, Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Hudson, Fantasia, El Debarge & Jill Scott performed at this years Essence Festival in New Orleans this weekend.  After El Debarge performed, Chaka took the stage and in the middle of her set, talked about her past drug addictions.

We are not sure if maybe the message was for El Debarge who recently fell off the wagon and was back in rehab, but Chaka talked about it.  It was about the song “Troubled Little Angel” and this is what Chaka said.

“This next song is a song I wrote but I don’t remember writing it because I was high,”  “That was then, this is now, I’m seven years clean.”

Chaka also talked in the past to Mary J. Blige about drug addictions and attributes Chaka to getting clean. 

We are proud of Chaka and hope she stays on the road to recovery.-Dr.FB
