The Grammy Awards red carpet provided for an embarassing moment for a pair of entertainment journalists and an A-list music icon.
Two female red carpet reporters from AP were speaking to an iconic musician and producer, who has 26 #1 hits to his name along with 12 Grammys himself.
The journalists were listening to the music icon’s responses when one of them noticed Chappel Roan, 26, who is up for six Grammy Awards this year.
One of them, in mid-interview, started calling out to Chappel, as Babyface said with a smile, ‘Go do that,’ giving up his spot for the pop star (born Kayleigh Rose Amstutz)
Many music fans took to social media to bash the reporters for the embarassing exchange on the red carpet.
Can you guess who the music legend who was cut off in favor of Chappel Roan?

It was Babyface – a.k.a. Kenneth Brian Edmonds – who was named as one of the 50 best music producers of all time in 2012.
@sephma98 shared a brief video of the exchange, adding, ‘Just saw this live lmaoo. The interviewers cut off Babyface to get Chappell Roan’s attention.’
It was Babyface – a.k.a. Kenneth Brian Edmonds – who was named as one of the 50 best music producers of all time in 2012.
The two AP reporters were asking about his proclivities to produce in both the pop and rock genres.
While Babyface was trying to respond, one of the reporters said, ‘Chappel! Chappel!’ as Babyface smiled and turned to the pop star.
‘You guys wanna do that? Go do that,’ he said, relinquishing his spot in favor of the singer.

Others were not too thrilled like @eyeamsabrina, who said, ‘Watching the AP Grammy Red Carpet and this interviewer just cut Babyface off to talk to Chappell Roan – the disrespect is insane. That was so unprofessional omg #GRAMMYs.’
