Making matters worse, according to attendees on social media, the songstress didn't take the stage until 2 and half hours after her scheduled showtime and performed an abbreviated set.
My mom went to the Anita Baker/Babyface concert tonight in Newark with the tix I got her, and she’s saying Babyface isn’t performing and Anita is late. People are leaving and all she’s telling me.

So I'm at Prudential Center and no one knows what's going on cuz this Anita Baker concert is supposed to start at 7 and they really have everyone standing outside of their sections lined up and waiting and confused smh. Even these young workers said they don't know anything 🤷🏽♀️

I was at the Anita Baker, Babyface show. Over 2-hr wait & a Babyface cancellation. I dont know who is at fault but @Ticketmaster needs to offer partial refunds. People using canes/wheelchairs were waiting in the lobby for 90 min cuz they wouldnt let us to our seats. Not cool.

Anita Baker apologized for the 2 hour delay and asked if Live Nation apologized to us 🙄 #Newark #PrudentialCenter pic.twitter.com/0vJqowodW0

Anita Baker’s concert was over 2 hrs late, and then had the audacity to not let Babyface perform. I need a refund asap. pic.twitter.com/8Eetu1v9ps

Anita cray cray.
Anita bumped heads with Luther, Jill Scott,....and Stephanie Mills allegedly. She might be problematic. I DONT CARE though cuz my house gotta get cleaned. Lol
Omg 😳 I bought tickets to go to that show on Friday and now I’m regretting it. She always has a damn problem I hope if she pulls this I get my money back! And to think I’m thinking she would be better than these rappers and others who pull this kind of shi….
She is unprofessional.
When it’s all said and done She From DETROIT. WHAT UP DOE!!!
Resell your ticket(s) now!
She is not a Detroiter.
Fact: Anita Baker is from Toledo, Ohio.
Babyface is too talented to be her opener.
Babyface's "announcement" DID NOT indicate ANITA BAKER asked him not to perform BECAUSE that is a call THE PROMOTER makes, not the PERFORMER(s)...n!ggas always PERSONALIZING every damn thing, which is why WE are the ONLY race NOT ON CODE !!! #getyourmindright
All I can say is those who are old enough to remember Luther Vandrose vs. Anita Baker . . . that was an ugly feud.
Infantile behavior from Anita, AGAIN??
It was a stupid decision. Babyface could had played during that 2-hr wait.
And fuk all y’all dogging the D. MFs always tough on the net.
@12:23 I didn’t know about that. What happened?
I’ve seen Anita live and she is worth the 3 hour wait. We love you Miss. Baker #BodyandSoul
@12 LOL Growing Up - When My Mother Played Anita Baker ??
We Knew It Was Time To Clean Up LOL
She should refund ticket holders.
She pulled a Lauryn Hill.
Babyface > Anita Baker
Get your act together, Ms. Baker!
Anita wasn’t the problem with Luther. She wasn’t allowed to speak or make Eye contact with him while they were on the road together. Had to talk to him through their agents.
I can't believe Babyface is opening up for Anita lol smh. I like a few Anita Baker songs, but, Babyface should definitely be the headliner for this concert. I would pay money hear some Babyface, not so much for Anita.
Alexa! Play 'I Apologize' by Anita Baker.
Can’t wait to see her at the end of the year! Hope there’s none of this by then!
She should be grateful that her vocal cords have healed and she is able to sing again because her career would have been over. For the grace of God she is back to only act a fool. Once you have a stroke you can have another one.
He and his band should have been compensated for their time. They came to play and were denied.
