Anita Baker is currently on her Songstress tour, which originally was supposed to feature Babyface as a special guest. Baker has been harassed by his fans who have threatened, verbally abused and bullied her online. She decided yesterday that Babyface will not join her for the rest of the tour.
Before she announced this change in plans she posted a tweet yesterday morning that seemed to hint at what was to come. She posted a picture of her singing and captioned it, “#AnitaBaker. Bullies & Abuse will never Stop you. Speak Up. Overcome. Thrive. Move On
”
Ten hours later, she officially tweeted her decision saying, “#AnitaBaker After Silently, Enduring Cyber Bulling/Verbal Abuse & Threats of Violence from the Fan Base, of Our Special Guest
/Support Act. In the Interest of Personal Safety. I will continue, The Songstress Tour, alone. Appropriate refunds will be made. Blessings
ABXO

Man fans understood her decision and commented on their support.
Babyface did respond and went on Twitter to release a statement. He wrote, “I am saddened by the news that Anita Baker has decided to remove me from “The Songstress Tour.” It’s unfortunate and disheartening to see how things have played out via social media. 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.” He captioned the photo: “

In another one, she took a jab at Babyface writing, “See, what we just accomplished, here Loves?… It’s Very Easy to Ask your friends and fans, to Dis-Engage… IF, you Actually Wanted them, to do so. ABXO
Keep Blocking The Bullies.”
