Rahsaan Morris: Everything About Chaka Khan's Ex-partner

Rahsaan Morris was in a relationship with Chaka Khan which resulted in them having a baby Girl, Milini Khan. Chaka Khan is an American singer, songwriter, and musician. Her career has spanned more than five decades, beginning in the 1970s as the lead vocalist of the funk band Rufus. Known as the “Queen of Funk”, Khan was the first R&B artist to have a crossover hit featuring a rapper, with “I Feel for You” in 1984. Khan has won ten Grammy Awards and has sold an estimated 70 million records worldwide.

Rahsaan Morris was in a brief relationship with Chaka Khan around 1973. The relationship resulted in them having a baby, a girl. Much was not heard from Rahsaan Morris after the couple called their relationship a quit.

Chaka Khan on the hand has been married twice and is also a mother of a son, Damien Holland. Her first marriage was to Hassan Khan, in 1970, when she was 17, which ended in divorce a short time later. Malini’s birth was the result of a relationship between Chaka Khan and Rahsaan Morris.  Rahsaan Morris’s ex-partner Khan married her second husband, Richard Holland, in 1976. 

The marriage reportedly caused a rift between Khan and several members of Rufus, in particular, Andre Fischer. Holland wanted her to tone down her sexy stage image, but she refused. Following their split in 1979, Khan spent time in the studio with Ike Turner who she said was a “real inspiration and a catalyst emotionally and in other ways as well” during that difficult time. 

Holland filed for divorce in 1980, citing “irreconcilable differences.” Khan dated a Chicago-area schoolteacher in the mid-1980s in the middle of her solo stardom. Following their separation, Khan moved to Europe, first settling in London, and later buying a residence in Germany. She lived in Germany for a while “in a little village in the Rhine Valley” and also in Mannheim.

Rahsaan Morris’s ex-partner, Khan is vegan, saying she adopted the diet to lose weight and combat high blood pressure and Type-2 diabetes. In the past, Khan struggled with drug abuse and alcoholism. Her drug use, which at times included cocaine and heroin, ended in the early 1990s.

Khan had an on-and-off struggle with alcoholism until 2005, declaring herself sober. In 2006, her son Damien Holland was accused of murder after 17-year-old Christopher Bailey was shot dead.

Khan testified on her son’s behalf. Holland claimed the shooting was an accident. He was acquitted in the criminal trial and found liable in the civil suit. Though she sang at both the 2000 Democratic and Republican conventions, Khan says that she is more of a “Democratic-minded person”.
