Anita Baker is trending in the streets of Twitter as fans offer conflicting reports of her Houston concert on Friday night at the Toyota Center.
Fan videos from the concert have surfaced across different social media platforms and one video shows the legendary R&B diva telling concertgoers to “stop recording” and to “move back” in the middle of her performance.
Other videos show Anita Baker instructing security to kick people out of the arena mid-song.
Multiple complaints surfaced online of people claiming the “Sweet Love” singer became more concerned with disciplining folks in the audience than putting on a great show.
Then, there were a handful of people who expressed concerns about Anita’s health and overall well-being.
See a few posts below.

On the flip side, some fans said yes, Aunty Anita had to check a few folks who were getting beside themselves, but she still put on a great show.
André Marcel Harris was in attendance and shared that people were rushing the stage and interrupting Anita’s performance.
I was there so imma speak. People kept rushing the stage and interrupting her and security was just letting it happen. I would’ve done the same thing bc they were messing up other people’s experience who paid money too. It was a sold out arena she can’t just let everyone run up
