Never mentioned that Nick Ashford and Valerie Simpson wrote "I'm Every Woman".

[@JeffmChicago]

Not in that clip but she did. Got to watch the full interview.

She wasn't asked that question either in this clip

@@ImJustEricka You're right. I was thinking of another interview.

[@CuirPhotodotNet]

....that's the abstract aspect of it....that actually NICK wrote most of the song.....he too had problems....but... about writing it...because he was not a woman....so VAL....lol....told him he had better get in touch with his....feminine side....PUT HIS HAND ON HIS HIP.....DO SOMETHING....LOL....and the rest....is HISTORY.....

QUEENS💛👑💛

[@markk4473]

She kept summing up the song the same way literally. Whereas even though I can interprete that song instantly if Jenifer or any person asked me what the song meant or talking about. Could have said a woman relating to every woman in what they go through or that she’s relatable to all, she goes through the same things insecurities…. That poured out of me without seconds , just out the gate as I was typing

[@michellejorden1539]

Both beautiful black queens

[@Mr3sixty360]

2 Chicagoans, I love it!

[@joellafrechette4011]

I've been a Chaka Khan fan since Rufus, and I also liked her sister Taka Boom when she was with "The Undisputed Truth" (You + Me = Love always got me up on the dance floor). Even though I love everything Chaka Khan has sung, if I could only pick one song as my favorite it would have to be "Love Me Still."

[@goat3212]

She ain’t explain a damn thing, but love Chaka 😂😂😂 icon

Lmao I was left learning nothing. Love her though

[@JaylenOlivacce]

Anyone still confused about the definition of the song? 👀 cuz I swear she just said the same thing…. Even JHud was confused like “oh well give her a clap yall” 😅😅😅 ……… Chaka said what she said bruh and she can cuz she’s a QUEEN!

[@lynntodd2845]

Chaka was drunk. High as hell 😂😂

[@derricksingleton4736]

Exactly 💯

[@rosshurdle1729]

Chaka meant all women can be every woman, not just her alone. Y'all always wanna claim someone is drunk or high because YOU don't understand. People are so cruel, for no damn reason. I guess y'all was reading the bible to the blind and had nothing else to do but down Chaka!!!

[@OneLoveRSR]

@@rosshurdle1729 Stop it. You know full well Chaka be lit up for these things. Chastising folks for saying so isn't going to change that. Just stop it.

[@rosshurdle1729]

@@OneLoveRSR high or not, my point is stop blaming everything on her past behavior. I'd sooner think she's getting old and can't remember 'stuff' ( if she's getting older so are WE). Yes, when she was high so was I. That doesn't mean I'm still getting high it means I'm older and don't remember stuff. She lived / lives a full privileged life give her the respect to not always be stoned.
