After being kicked off of Anita Baker’s tour earlier this month, Babyface is ready to speak his truth. The 64-year-old addressed his feud with the female songbird, along with several other hot topics on the latest episode of The Jason Lee Show. Apart from spilling the tea on his rumoured romance with Toni Braxton, Babyface also addressed claims that he hates Beyonce, and covered one of Chrisean Rock’s earliest singles while the cameras rolled.
The full video interview hasn’t made it onto YouTube quite yet. Still, audio can be found on Spotify and other DSPs. In the meantime, a select few clips from the interview have been circulating online, one of which shows the Indiana native singing “Vibe” while strumming on his acoustic guitar. “I’mma do it my way,” Babyface declares before crooning, “It’s a vibe all the time” repeatedly. At the end of his brief performance, the in-studio audience applauded as the host grinned from ear to ear.

As shown in the second slide of @theneighborhoodtalk’s post above, Rock’s original cut has much more aggressive energy than Baby’s version. The reality starlet first shared the song in March 2021 and has since amassed 5.7 million streams on just Spotify. Chrisean has been dropping music fairly consistently so far this year, kicking things off with “Lit” before connecting with Dee Duchess on “Not the One.” Her most recent single, “Time,” arrived at the end of March.
Since then, Rock has been primarily focused on preparing for motherhood and staying out of trouble. As for Babyface, he’s definitely got some unexpected free time on his hands now that he’s no longer touring with Baker. Fingers crossed he uses it to make some unforgettable moves in the studio.
