The Associated Press has apologized to singer-songwriter Babyface after a red carpet interview incident at the 2025 Grammy Awards. During the livestream coverage, Babyface discussed the music community's response to recent fires in Los Angeles. However, the interview spiraled when reporter Fauria interrupted him to call over pop performer Chappell Roan. The abrupt transition was criticized and quickly went viral, prompting backlash from social media users and onlookers, including celebrities, leading AP to formally apologize both publicly and to Babyface himself.
"As Babyface began to answer the question about women's prominence in R&B, Fauria interrupted, calling out to performer Chappell Roan despite the ongoing interview."
"The Associated Press issued a public apology to Babyface after social media backlash from viewers, including celebrities like Khloé Kardashian and Dionne Warwick."
