Anita Baker has thrown fresh fuel on the flames of her beef with Babyface. Or should we say his fans.
As reported, the iconic songbird is on tour with the prolific music maestro (who is her special guest on the trek) and made headlines when she was accused by some of booting the R&B pioneer off of a particular date for reasons unknown.
Babyface clarified that his announcement of his absence from said date wasn’t him throwing “shade” Baker, but rather a case of simply explaining why he wouldn’t be performing that night.
Still, it hasn’t stopped folk from taking aim at the ‘Caught Up in the Rapture’ songstress.
And it appears that today she had time to clap back at what she is calling targeted harassment and attacks.
See what we mean below…
Replying to a comment that questioned why Babyface was labelled a “support act,” Baker snapped:
“Dearest one. You are Not, privy to *The Contracts*. Yes, Babyface is Special Guest❤️/Support Act, on My Tour. This False Narrative, of A Co-headliner is creating Unrealistic Expectations & Aggression, from his fans towards me. He should tell you guys, the Truth”
As the critical remarks poured in, the 65-year-old continued:
“As you can see… 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.”
When her previous legal woes were brought up, Baker wrote:
“Good Morning, to…Kenny’s Crazies, who continue to Harrass.”
“Kenny’s Crazies are online Bullies. @Babyface Please call off, your fans. I have been Only Kind and Supportive, of You, as the Special Guest/Support, on My Tour ABXO🎼”
There’s more. Again clapping back at those drawing on her past legal drama, she said:
“I Fought & WON🤣 that Case tOO! 20 YEARS Ago🤣And NOW, i’m More Successful Than EVER🙌🏾 it does’nt Diminish @Babyface , Mngr Conracted, as My Special Guest/Support Act, to HELP Expose, him 2 My Arena Size Fan Base… It HELPs Him… Bye, to Kenny’s Creepy Crazies”
Concluding (for now), Baker got even more direct with her digs:
“There is A White man, behind these Grown Black Men… harrassing Me & Gaslighting, My Fans. Because he Cant take over, this Tour… sO? He wants to Destroy it. Kenny’s Crazy Narcissist @Babyface call off, your Boys”
Meow!

Anita you are too old to be beefing with GROWN MEN.
Turn ur comments off and stop explaining anything to his FANS. Many of them are probably old and bitter gay men since they have all this TEA.
Exactly! lmao.
Looool the facebookification of twitter
In my opinion, it’s not just her age that makes this beneath her, it’s her legendary status. She said what she had to say now I think it’s time to to leave it alone, folks will always have their opinions and there is no convincing them otherwise. No need to waste her time, her fans don’t care what a few bullying Babyface fans think.
Agree!
Well said
I think it’s disrespectful to Babyface for Anita to assign him ownership of the people whom she feels harassed by. He’s not responsible for “calling them off.” They aren’t his dogs. All she’s doing is giving them more to feed on and then blaming Babyface for the response she gets. I’ll bet Babyface is ready to walk away but he doesn’t want to disappoint his fans.
I don’t understand why she simply can’t have her own show. People keep saying she’s a DIVA yet seem bothered because she prefers to perform alone?
Why are all these MALES in their feelings for??
For me it seems they don’t wanna see her SHINE above them.
If she prefers to perform alone then she shouldn’t have brought Babyface along. She’s a mean, drunken diva. Everybody in the D knows about her ratchet reputation. It sucks because her music is legendary.
Bye!
Anyone who stands 10 toes down against a “mob” is considered mean and problematic. The only ratchets and messy Queens I’m seeing are the MEN.
Bringing up a 30+ yr old beef between Luther Vandross and Anita is what I call STALE Tea.
Team Anita
Exactly… Anita is giving immature and delusional. Legends don’t behave this way. She’s embarrassing herself. Why doesn’t she have social media handlers.
