Kenneth Brian Edmonds, famously known as Babyface has been a topic of discussion on social media following a viral video of him at the 2025 Grammy’s event. The singer and record producer was cut off and interrupted mid sentence by entertainment reporters from an Associate Press. The reporters, Leslie Ambriz and Krysta Fauria, cut off Babyface to talk to singer Chappell Roan.
After the clip went viral, the reporters faced backlash from fans and stars like Khloe Kardashian. Kardashian took to her Instagram account to share her thoughts on the situation. Khloe wrote, “This is so disrespectful how @babyface was treated in this interview. Babyface has had a significant impact on the music industry, in so many ways.”
“Its maddening to see a LEGEND not get the respect and attention they deserve. He is a pioneer and deserves so much better than this. With decades of groundbreaking work as a songwriter, producer and a performer, he has shaped the sound of multiple generations.”
Khloe Kardashian further expressed her love for the artist and stated “she will forever be a fan.” She concluded by saying, “PS big or small, old or new – you don’t treat people l ke this. At least not in my eyes. There’s a way to handle this and this was wrong in my opinion.”
After the incident, the Shade Room obtained a statement from the singer. “The best part of the night was reconnecting with old friends, meeting new artists, and feeling all the love in the room. That’s what I’ll remember. That’s what it’s really about. Music is bigger than any one moment. Much ove to everyone who won and everyone out here making great music.”
Fauria, one of the reporters later apologized, saying “I wanted to say that I’m really sorry about interrupting Babyface earlier. Chappell Roan had come up, and there was a lot of commotion, as there is on these carpets. But I’m a big Babyface fan, as are we all. And so I just wanted to say that, that I really apologize.”
