Chaka Khan is speaking out following her controversial performance this weekend during the 13th annual Jazz in the Gardens show. Many concert goers say she appeared disoriented or drunk. Producer Rico Love took to twitter to share his thoughts.

It is reported that many people walked out during her set because it was so bad.

The songstress has released a statement to The Jasmine Brand, where her rep claims she has been under the weather, but performed anyway against her doctor’s wishes.

“Chaka Khan has been supporting her scheduled show dates as she has been battling the flu for a number of weeks despite the doctor’s orders to cancel these shows and rest. Unfortunately, Chaka not wanting to disappoint her fans has performed, while not totally 100%, and the media has been turning these difficult performances into something else.”

“Chaka values her fans and supporters and would never do anything to jeopardize their support and love. Under doctor’s orders Chaka will be resting for the remainder of the week until her next performance engagement in Macon, GA, Saturday, March 24th.”
