He received support and well wishes from friends including Timbaland, L.A. Reid, and Jermaine Dupri.
Babyface is wasting no time getting back to work. He will face off against Teddy Riley during a beat battle organized by Timbaland and Swizz Beatz, which is scheduled for Saturday, April 18 at 9 p.m. EST on Instagram Live.
“I would like to officially accept the invitation from the legendary Swizz Beatz & Timbaland to participate with my little brother, Teddy Riley in what I’d like to call a Celebration of Black Music Excellence in – Teddy vs. Babyface,” he said.
