She added in a separate tweet, "Kenny's Crazies are online Bullies. @Babyface Please call off, your fans. I have been Only Kind and Supportive, of You, as the Special Guest/Support, on My Tour."

"I was asked not to perform in order to give Ms. Baker her space and time to perform her show in its entirety," he added. "My band and I are extremely saddened we didn't get to perform for y'all tonight."
Anita, however, has already clarified that "tech/video wall/glitched" during the concert, causing a delay. She continued, "Live Nation/Producers took responsibility. I/We/Us went onstage, anyway. Late…but, love prevailed."
