Chaka Khan, the beloved singer-songwriter who initially rose to fame in the late 1970s and 1980s, issued a warning for fans on Jan. 8 to watch out for fake and AI-generated stories on the internet.
The 72-year-old declared on Instagram, "Chaka & her team want to remind everyone to be cautious about fake, AI-generated 'news' circulating on Facebook and elsewhere. These stories are not real."
"If it isn’t coming directly from Chaka’s official social channels or ChakaKhan.com, it shouldn’t be trusted," the statement went on, going into detail about the places where fans can get trustworthy information about Khan. It is later mentioned that she has an official newsletter on her website that fans can sign up for to get any news.
The note concluded, "Please don’t click, comment on, or share those posts. Any interaction only helps scammers spread them further."
Khan's warning was accompanied by a moody photo of the singer from a photoshoot with Interview magazine.

"I blocked those pages there quite a few for Jackson and others," said another, noting that other musical artists are dealing with the same issue.
Others chimed in, saying, "Chaka calling out ai is another reason I can’t help but Stan," and "Good to know ?."
