In 1984, when Chaka Khan won a Grammy for her cover of Prince's 'I Feel for You,' her new boyfriend wasn't even born. Dating young isn't just for dudes anymore.

On Sunday night (Nov. 20), the 59-year-old soul-funk legend showed up at the 2011 American Music Awards with a 25-year-old male model, according to numerous reports. Looking a bit like an N'Sync member or Ken doll come to life, Khan's new beau rocked a black velvet blazer and coal gray shirt.

A grinning (and why not?) Khan, meanwhile, wore a black robe-style coat over a sheer cranberry-colored dress, looking plenty chic enough to justify the cougar move.

I think that Chaka Khan hired this guy as an escort for a function she had to attend. Not only is he NOT her boyfriend, she probably could care less whether or not he is gay. If I had the money to afford hiring a 'cutie pie' for a night out, JUST for the sake of appearances, I'd do the same thing. She is a 60yr old black women, who has NOTHING in common with a 25 yr old white boy. She's probably getting herself a good laugh with another 'Sista' about the whole thing. I can just hear the black women laughter at black women jokes right now. You go Chaka!

This guys real name is Tyler Wade Hieber. He is actually 26, gay, and has a sugar daddy named Jonathan Ingram who he has admitted to using for his money. Raffles van Excel is a notorious cheapskate PR fraud who is taking them to the cleaners, setting Tyler up with d-rated appearances and meaningless press releases in exchange for his sugar daddy's money. Best of luck Chaka! You better run from these crazy people while you can!
