“Had no idea you would be in our Midst. Such a nice Surprise. Brought Tears, to my eyes,” the legendary singer responded to the Chicago MC.
“WOW the fact that you remembered my friends name AND that it was her birthday just echoes what an INCREDIBLE PERSON you are on top of all that you’ve given artistically. Honored and blessed to call you friend miss @IAMANITABAKER,” he tweeted.
Previously, Baker had been battling her former label to own her recordings. In September 2021, the legendary singer revealed she had acquired her masters in a tweet.
