Chaka Khan once again sparked conversation with her distinctive views on relationships and the expectations she has when dating someone. 💬

In a 2017 interview, the singer was blunt: “I don’t have time for a man unless he can bring something important to the table, like a huge amount of money”.

The artist also said in that conversation that she would have to find a “man of biblical proportions” to get married again. Her remarks began circulating again recently, especially after Khan spoke about her love life once more and said that she is currently not interested in looking for a partner.

Her words have reopened the debate about financial independence, money, and what each person expects from a relationship.
