Looks like there may have been a little confusion on the DJ front at the 2021 Billboard Music Awards.
DaBaby took home the award for Top Rap Song for his hit, “Rockstar,” and as he made his way to the stage someone accidentally played Post Malone’s “Rockstar.” Cringe.
DaBaby seemed to notice the mistake when he headed to the stage, because he timidly reached for his award and said, “It’s me, It’s me, I’ll live with that” before beginning his acceptance speech.
Fans were quick to call out the mistake, taking to Twitter with comments about the awkward moment.

The Billboard Music Awards mistakenly played “Rockstar” by Post Malone instead of DaBaby while he was accepting his award. #BBMAs pic.twitter.com/nODYsbfyKM

“And the award goes to…. Kelly Clarkson, Stronger!” … Billboard plays Stronger by Britney Spears
