Lil Duval asked Dionne Warwick to help end the "beef" between Anita Baker and Babyface.

“Hey @dionnewarwick can u squash this baby face Anita baker beef for us please,” the comedian wrote.

Warwick quote-tweeted him, wrote, “Baby, that ain’t got nothing to do with me.”

It’s unclear why Lil Duval would bring Warwick into the equation—unless he was joking, which could surely be the case.

Earlier this week, Baker and Babyface made headlines wehn she kicked him off her tour because she was experiencing “cyberbullying” from his fans.

“After silently, enduring cyberbullying, verbal abuse, and threats of violence from the fanbase of our special guest [and] … in the interest of personal safety. I will continue The Songstress Tour alone,” Baker tweeted on June 13.

The cyberbullying appeared to stem from fans seemingly being upset that Babyface was billed as a supporting act and not as Baker’s co-headliner.

In another tweet, Baker directly asked Babyface to ask his fans to chill out: “Kenny's Crazies are online bullies,” she wrote. “@Babyface Please call off, your fans. I have been only kind and supportive of you.”

Kenny's Crazies are online Bullies. @Babyface Please call off, your fans. I have been Only Kind and Supportive, of You, as the Special Guest/Support, on My Tour
