⁠"They need to be fired asap"— Netizens call out interviewers for allegedly cutting off Babyface for Chappell Roan at the Grammys Red Carpet

A video from the Grammy’s red carpet where AP interviewers allegedly interrupted Babyface in the middle of the conversation to interview Chappell Roan, has gone viral, causing social media users to be taken aback. While Babyface was seen talking to the two interviewers, they stopped him and called out Chappell Roan as soon as she walked in.

Babyface, seemingly, got the hint, and asked the two interviewers:

“You guys want to go through that?"

The AP journalists took the mic from Babyface’s hands and apologized to him for the same. Babyface then gestured to Chappell Roan to walk in and speak to the AP reporters. However, as soon as the video went viral on social media, the journalists were hit with massive backlash, as many found their cutting off Babyface “disrespectful.”

As an X user, @PopBase uploaded the video on the platform, and another netizen responded:

“they need to be fired asap,” the netizen wrote.

“Does she not know who Babyface is??????” asked one social media user.

“Take those mics away and fire those girls IMMEDIATELY,” wrote one more X user.

“This is disgusting and they really need to be careful who they choose to be interviewers,” claimed another.

“This was really disrespectful. Extremely unprofessional. I hope these two are never allowed to do interviews again,” wrote an internet user.

Furthermore, several others also commented and stated how the interviewers’ gesture was “disgusting.”

“Disgusting & classless,” wrote one X user on the post.

“This interviewer needs to be fired the amount of disrespect is insane,” said another.

“And ironically Them shewing away BabyFace went viral moment, not the content they got with Chappell Roan,” exclaimed one more netizen on the post.
