It looks like Babyface will no longer be joining Anita Baker on her The Songstress Tour.
Anita shared via Twitter that due to being “cybered bullied” by Babyface’s fanbase- she has made the decision to remove him from the tour. In a statement she says, “after Silently, Enduring Cyber Bulling/Verbal Abuse & Threats of Violence from the Fan Base, of Our Special Guest/Support Act. In the Interest of Personal Safety. I will continue, ‘The Songstress Tour,’ alone. Appropriate refunds will be made. Blessings,” Baker wrote on Tuesday.
Babyface responded to the situation in a statement shared with Variety. “I am saddened by the news that Anita Baker has decided to remove me from ‘The Songstress Tour.’ It’s unfortunate and disheartening to see how things have played out via social media. While I was looking forward to the rest of the dates, I have nothing but love & respect for Anita and I wish her the best for the remainder of her tour.”
The fued comes following an online dispute between Anita and Babyface’s fans. “Some of his fans, are not accepting of the reality, that he is contracted, as special guest support, on My Tour. Some even want to hurt me… Crazyyyy. Town,” she tweeted.
Hopefully the two can come to an understanding.
