AceShowbiz - Comedian Tony Baker apparently pissed off Teddy Riley for making a joke in his expense. The drama between Tony and the musician started after Tony made fun of Teddy while commenting in a new "Verzuz" battle featuring Alicia Keys and John Legend.
"Teddy Riley pulled up! Let's pray that we don't lose the internet connection," Tony commented, referring to technical issues during Teddy and Babyface's battle. Teddy then caught wind of the shoutout and didn't take long to fire back.
"Tony Baker if you want to continue being funny you got to let Oh jokes become the pass or you will be stuck in the past brother," he wrote to Tony.. "Grow up and get money! Remind you to joke Only makes me money but you still broke."
In response to that, Tony took to his Instagram account to share a screenshot of their not-so-pleasant interaction. "Gotdammit. @theshaderoom TEDDY HAS HAD IT!! His typos deflated the whole assault tho....," so Tony captioned the picture.
"Lmfaoooo why that mane so mad????? I'll fire his a** up for ya bro," one of his followers wrote in the comment section. "Teddy got a 5th grade education. It's either that or he don't proof read. I can't understand his sentences," one other critic said, with someone else adding, "You got that man all up in his feelings he forgot how to spell."
Back in April, Teddy and Babyface were forced to abruptly shut down their song battle due to technical issue before they eventually had a rematch. Babyface, who was born Kenny Edmonds, and Teddy drew a massive audience of over 400,000 viewers on Saturday. However, before they started, they were interrupted with technical difficulties regarding the audio. They decided to take a 30 minute break to fix the problem but when Teddy returned, his audio was still too low. They even called Dr. Dre for help.
"I'm sitting here. I'm waiting. I'm wondering what the f**k is going on," Dre said to a member of Teddy's team. The "2001" star added, "What we doing right now? I'm over here and I'm sitting and I'm waiting! I have so much respect for both ya'll... I gotta see this."
