On Friday (June 27), Badu spotted Pix11 reporter Mario Diaz filming a live report about Shia LaBeouf's arrest on Broadway. Badu, who had performed at Radio City Music Hall with Dave Chappelle over the weekend, jumped on camera behind the reporter and attempted to give him a kiss.

Diaz appeared not to recognize Badu and shoved her off, literally. He can be seen in the video pushing Badu off him when she goes in for the smooch. As the video went viral on social networks, Badu originally denied being the woman on camera via Twitter. She has since recanted and continues a joking conversation with Diaz in tweets.
