Babyface Snubbed on Grammys Red Carpet: A Diva Drama Nobody Saw Coming!

Dionne Warwick and Khloé Kardashian come to Babyface's rescue after a red carpet snub at the Grammys!

The 2025 Grammy Awards were shining bright, showcasing talent from across the music industry, but not all glitz and glam! Legendary artist Babyface found himself in quite the unexpected situation on the red carpet when he was abruptly interrupted during an interview for a rather awkward encounter with Associated Press reporters. As Babyface, one of the true luminaries of R&B, was sharing his thoughts on the evolution of music, the reporters suddenly turned their attention to pop sensation Chappell Roan, leaving Babyface in a brief state of disbelief. Yes, that’s right; the singer known for hits like "Every Time I Close My Eyes" was cut short just like one of his own songs being played on repeat!

Social media erupted as fans, celebrities, and fellow artists criticized the apparent snub, leading to a wave of online support for Babyface. Among those who leaped to his defense was none other than Grammy-winner Dionne Warwick, who didn’t hold back when she called out the reporters for this blatant act of disrespect. Khloé Kardashian chimed in as well, adding her voice to the growing chorus, emphasizing that such legendary artists deserve better treatment. As Warwick pointed out, you wouldn’t want to miss a chance to talk with an icon when the red carpet is rolled out!

What makes this situation even more comical is that it happened live during a YouTube livestream event, instantly going viral. The AP reporters offered an apology after realizing the uproar, but it was clear that the damage was done—babyface fans were not ready to let this slight slip by! Even though the reporter’s intentions might have been to focus on upcoming talent, the legacy and contributions of Babyface to the music industry should have been paramount during such a high-profile event.

Indeed, the incident illustrates a much larger conversation about respect and visibility within the entertainment industry and how quick many are to overlook the icons who paved the way for today’s stars. In the light of the snub, it reminds us just how important it is to honor the trailblazers who shaped music history. It’s fascinating that, despite being in the industry for decades, Babyface remains a beacon of talent and creativity in the ever-evolving genre landscape—a fact that rings true even more when you see that Dionne Warwick doesn’t just stop at practicing her craft; she’s also out there advocating for fellow artists. Here’s to hoping Babyface wins big next year and makes all those who interrupted him realize just what they missed out on!
