Babyface might be an R&B legend with 12 Grammys under his belt … but, he got big-timed at music’s biggest night — ’cause a couple interviewers cut him off mid-answer to try and get Chappell Roan‘s attention at the Grammys!
The moment went down on the red carpet before the show Sunday … a couple reporters ask him about the rise of female artists in R&B and about the genre blending with other music.
Babyface starts to answer the question … when one of the interviewers spots Roan — and, can hardly seem to contain her excitement.
While he’s talking, this interviewer yells Chappell’s name — cutting off Babyface mid-sentence right after he started to answer … not even fulling answering the query.
Ever the professional, Babyface just smiles and asks if they’d rather speak to Roan … when they tell him yes, he gives the mic back — smile on his face — and walks away.
It’s a red carpet reporter faux pas for sure … and, it made for an awkward end to what was up to that point a very polite conversation.
Babyface’s fans are calling this moment incredibly rude … and asking the Associated Press who these reporters think they are.
There are always a red carpet moments at every awards show that goes viral … and, we’ve got a feeling this one is going to live a long life on the internet.
