Twitter Roasts Chaka Khan's National Anthem Performance at NBA All-Star Game

Written by Feleg Tesema in Culture

The 2020 NBA All-Star Weekend saw performances from Jennifer Hudson, Queen Latifah, Chance The Rapper, Quavo, and DJ Khaled. Still, it was Chaka Khan's rendition of the National Anthem that had the internet talking, and not in a good way.

Khan sang the National Anthem before the All-Star Weekend Game kick-off. The Chicago native, also known as "The Queen of Funk," showed up in a Chicago Bulls-inspired dress and put her own funky spin on the anthem. Fans, however, weren't feeling her performance.

Some compared Khan's National Anthem to Fergie's (perhaps unintentionally) hilarious 2018 NBA All-Star Game performance, while others thought she sounded more like Uncle Bobby singing the Anthem on Proud Family. Whatever you may think of Khan's performance, the Twitter reactions below are hilarious as ever.
