10:18 AM PT — We have some clarity now. Babyface tells TMZ … “I would never shade Anita Baker. I have too much love and respect for her, and I look forward to continuing the tour. I was just reiterating what the stage hand was saying following all of the tech difficulties.”
Translation: Babyface’s legion of upset fans can stand down. He and Anita are cool.
Babyface fans are enraged the plug was pulled on his latest performance, something he seemed to blame on the show’s headliner, Anita Baker — which is odd, because the actual villain is technology … and time.

Anita and Babyface’s tour stopped in Newark, NJ Wednesday night, and slowly turned into a nightmare for fans. The show was delayed 2 hours, and when it finally started the audience was told there were “technical issues” and Babyface, the opening act, would not be performing. The boos rained down immediately.
