    Chaka is pretty in real life. I remember working at the airport at the kiosk in the middle of the concourse. It was just her and I at my kiosk and the only ones in the concourse at the time and I froze up. She stood behind me reading something and humming & I refused to turn around, I guess you could say I was star struck. 😂 I just remember she look good in person, smelled good, really short and even her humming sounded beautiful. She was my favorite amongst other celebrities I met in the airport.

      Chaka is 1 to 2 sheets to the wind high as she always is. That's the "sparkle" you're seeing. The only difference is she's not hitting that 3rd or 4th sheet like she was during her Verses performance with Stephine Mills, and Stephine had to carry the performance.
