Interviewers Cut Off Babyface to Discuss Chappell Roan

7:40 PM PT — Krysta Fauria — the reporter who interrupted Babyface to call out for Chappell — has expressed her apologies regarding the incident. She explained that the atmosphere on the carpet can be chaotic, and she did not intend to disrupt Babyface’s moment.

In an exclusive statement to TMZ, Babyface shared, “It’s all love. The most memorable part of the evening was reconnecting with old friends, meeting new artists, and soaking in all the positive energy in the room. That’s what I’ll cherish. Music transcends any single moment. Much love to everyone who won and to everyone out here creating amazing music.”

Despite being an R&B icon with an impressive record of 12 Grammy wins, Babyface experienced an unexpected moment at the Grammy Awards when a pair of interviewers abruptly interrupted him mid-answer to redirect their focus toward Chappell Roan, attempting to shift the spotlight away from Babyface.

This awkward incident unfolded on the red carpet right before the event commenced. A couple of reporters were inquiring about the rising prominence of female artists in R&B, as well as how the genre is blending with other musical styles.

As Babyface began to articulate his thoughts in response, one of the interviewers suddenly spotted Roan and appeared unable to contain her excitement, leading to a significant disruption in the conversation.

While Babyface was still speaking, the interviewer exclaimed Chappell’s name loudly, interrupting Babyface mid-sentence and preventing him from fully answering the previous question posed to him.

Maintaining his composure, Babyface smiled and asked the interviewers if they would prefer to speak with Roan instead. Upon receiving a positive response, he graciously handed over the microphone while keeping a friendly demeanor, and then walked away from the scene.

This incident stands out as a notable faux pas
