In a March interview with “Los Angeles Magazine,” Khan made the remark in regards to her opinions on Rolling Stone’s list of the “200 Greatest Singers of All Time.”
The “I’m Every Woman” singer expressed her opinions about Rolling Stone’s “200 Greatest Singers of All Time” list earlier this year. The list features Aretha Franklin, Mariah Carey, Mary J. Blige, Adele, and the folk legend herself, who was ranked No. 189.
“Let’s face it, the bitch is not a singer. In an interview with Los Angeles Magazine, Khan, 70, remarked of Baez, “Now, she was a good writer.
For the first time, Baez, 82, responded to Khan’s comments in an exclusive conversation with PEOPLE.

The performer of “Silver Dagger” commented, “It’s just too funny.” “It’s not her style, and so it is perfectly legitimate.”
She said, “If that kind of floaty voice doesn’t mean anything to her, then I get it.”
A few days after her interview, Khan apologised on Instagram for her comments regarding the Rolling Stone list.
Recently, she stated, “I was asked about a list of the best singers of all time, and instead of questioning the need for such a list, I was put against other artists and I took the bait. “As artists, we are wrongly categorised, listed, or put into boxes. It’s not a contest to be a musician or artist. It’s a gift, and I’m sincerely appreciative of it.
“I didn’t mean to hurt or offend anyone,’ I said. I genuinely apologise to anyone who feels this way, she continued.
The new, frank documentary Joan Baez: I Am a Noise, which will be released in limited quantities on October 6th, is about Baez, who has been giving the world a taste of her ethereal soprano voice for more than 60 years.
The documentary, which was directed by Miri Navasky, Karen O’Connor, and Maeve O’Boyle, follows the life of folk music pioneer and civil rights activist Joan Baez.
“I had no idea how deeply people are affected by the fact that a famous entertainer will be as honest as I am,” she remarked of the responses to the movie, which examines her traumatic childhood, prodigious career, and turbulent love connection with Bob Dylan. The phrase “I can’t believe you said that” is what I hear the most.
