Diaz was reporting on Shia LaBeouf’s arrest from Manhattan Friday evening when Badu was spotted walking behind him. Wearing a large hat, Badu walked slowly in the background making faces and rude gestures before approaching Diaz and leaning in for a kiss. Diaz, focused on his broadcast, pushed Badu away with an “excuse me,” not even registering who his crasher was.
