Babyface: '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.'
by his representative, Babyface addressed the situation saying, “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 singer-songwriter and acclaimed producer was previously billed as a surprise guest on Baker’s 15-city tour that kicked off earlier this February in Florida and is slated to run through a Dec. 23 show at Oakland Arena. After Babyface’s opening set was unexpectedly slashed from a May 10 show at the Prudential Center in New Jersey due to reported technical issues, Baker claims she’s been at the end of relentless harassment.
“I am truly sorry to my fans who have been waiting for us to hit the stage this evening at the Prudential Center,” Babyface wrote at the time. “I was asked not to perform in order to give Ms. Baker her space and time to perform her show in its entirety. My band an I are extremely saddened we didn’t get to perform for y’all tonight.”
On June 12, Baker more pointedly addressed a tweet to Babyface and his followers — whom she’s dubbed “Kenny’s Crazies” — with the suggestion that he “call off” his boys. Responding to several fans, Baker attempted to clarify Babyface was solely a supporting act on her tour.
