R&B legend Wanya Morris, a member of the iconic group Boyz II Men, is clearing the air after recent claims made by Rozonda “Chilli” Thomas of TLC. In a candid response, Morris denied that Boyz II Men ever said they “didn’t need” legendary producer Babyface to achieve success — a statement that recently stirred discussion among R&B fans.
The Comment That Sparked the Drama
The drama began when Chilli appeared in a recent interview and suggested that Boyz II Men once claimed they didn’t need Babyface’s help to make hits. Her comment quickly went viral, leading to debate across social media platforms about whether the group had dismissed the influence of one of R&B’s greatest producers.
Boyz II Men famously collaborated with Babyface on multiple chart-topping hits in the 1990s, including “End of the Road,” “I’ll Make Love to You,” and “Water Runs Dry.” These songs not only defined the era but also solidified the group’s position as one of the most successful male vocal groups of all time.
Wanya Morris Sets the Record Straight
In a passionate social media post, Wanya Morris directly addressed Chilli’s statement. “That’s not true — we have never, ever said we didn’t need Babyface,” he said. “We’ve always shown love and respect to him. He’s a part of our musical family and one of the reasons we reached the heights we did.”
Morris emphasized that Boyz II Men’s relationship with Babyface has always been built on mutual admiration and creativity. He noted that the group still credits Babyface for shaping their sound and contributing to their longevity in the music industry.
“If anything, we needed him more than he needed us,” Morris added. “The man is a genius.”
Fans React to the Clarification
After Morris’s comments went viral, fans flooded social media with messages of support. Many applauded him for addressing the issue respectfully and for giving Babyface his due credit.
“Glad Wanya cleared that up. Babyface is an icon, and Boyz II Men are legends — no beef needed,” one fan commented on X (formerly Twitter).
Others expressed frustration that an old misunderstanding had resurfaced, saying that both groups — Boyz II Men and TLC — contributed immensely to 90s R&B and shouldn’t be pitted against each other.

While Morris didn’t elaborate on why Chilli made the comment, he ended his response on a positive note, expressing continued love for Babyface and respect for TLC’s contributions to music.
