Dionne Warwick says “it's about time” Black women are recognized by the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame

Jason Mendez/Getty ImagesOn Monday, Dionne Warwick participated in a video Q&A session with Billboard, where she answered a series of questions from Twitter fans.

When asked about her recent nomination for the 2021 Rock & Roll Hall of Fame induction, Warwick says she was “thrilled” to see other Black women be nominated as well.

“It’s about time for some of these ladies who I thought should have been there,” said Warwick. “How could Tina Turner not be in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame? I’m thrilled that Chaka Khan , who should have been there long time ago and it’s wonderful that Mary J. Blige is even nominated.”

Warwick was right about Tina — she was inducted
