PIX11’s Mario Diaz got quite the surprise while reporting live on-air about Shia LaBeouf’s recent arrest. Singer Erykah Badu photobombed the newscast, making funny faces and obscene gestures. She eventually tried to plant a kiss on the reporter, only for Diaz to block her and execute the full report without interruption. While Badu initially tried to deny it was her, she later admitted to her antics and apologized on Twitter to Diaz, who took it like a true professional. Even his wife witnessed the whole spectacle. See their exchange below.

@fatbellybella I get it because…
“Ain’t no particular sign I’m more compatible with I just want your extra time and your….. kiss”
