I told you a few weeks back to catch this permanent A list singer early on tour because of her drinking.

She needs rehab and it is just a matter of days, not weeks, before she will be headed that way.

Anita Baker removes Babyface from Songstress Tour after Twitter feud, scrapped performance

Anita Baker has removed Babyface from her tour after several days of criticizing him on Twitter.

The Grammy-winning singer-songwriter, 64, confirmed that Baker decided to cut him from her Songstress Tour in a statement provided to USA TODAY on Tuesday, saying that he is “saddened by the news.”

“It’s unfortunate and disheartening to see how things have played out via social media,” Babyface said. “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.”

Babyface’s removal follows a public spat between the two musicians that played out for their fans on social media.

On Monday, Baker asked Babyface, whose real name is Kenneth Brian Edmonds, on Twitter to call off fans she said are bullying and threatening her as a result of him not performing during a May show of the tour. She dubbed them “Kenny’s Crazies.”

“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.

Her tweet came after a week of alluding to the dustup over Babyface not performing at a May 10 New Jersey stop on her tour. The night of the New Jersey concert, Babyface took to social media to tell fans he was asked not to take the stage at the Prudential Center so that headliner Baker could perform her full set after the show got off to a late start. Fans and celebrities responded with criticism of Baker. – Source
