Dionne Warwick had a strong opinion when it came to how Babyface was treated at the 2025 Grammys. The singer-songwriter and producer was being interviewed by reporters while on the red carpet when they spotted Chappell Roan — and their attention was redirected. While Babyface is mid-sentence, one AP reporter calls out for Roan. Babyface then asks if they want to talk to her. His interview is cut short and he leaves. Following the moment, Warwick did not appreciate how Babyface was treated.

Warwick!!! We ride at dawn.' Another person also called out the reporters for how they 'disrespected' the R&B singer. An additional person tweeted, 'Imagine cutting off BABYFACE EDMONDS in the middle of an interview to shout Chappell Roan’s name. Insanely rude and unprofessional. I need them fired, IMMEDIATELY.' Following the backlash and as the red carpet was closing, AP News reporter Leslie Ambriz took a moment to apologize to Babyface.
