Someone had to be the voice of reason in a town where “no” is a foreign language. That voice of reason was R&B legend Chaka Khan, who slammed Clive Davis for not canceling his annual pre-Grammy party, which was held in the same hotel where Whitney Houston’s body lay in rigor mortis on the 4th floor.
Chaka made her statements on Piers Morgan’s show on CNN last night. She said: “Knowing Whitney, I don’t believe that she would have said ‘the show must go on.'” Chaka added: “She’s the kind of woman that would have said, ‘uh huh! Stop everything! I’m not gonna be there.”
Chaka told Piers,
“I thought that was complete insanity. I don’t know what could motivate a person, to have a party, in a building, where the person, whose life he had influenced so enormously, and whose life had been affected by her…I don’t understand how that party went on.” Source
In the 2nd video, after the break, Chaka alluded to the “riff raff” and “dangerous people” (Ray J) who dragged Whitney to parties in the week before the party. “I wouldn’t have done that,” said Chaka.
