Twitter is still alight with roasting Rich Homie Quan after his less-than-stellar rendition of Notorious B.I.G.’s verse from Junior M.A.F.I.A.’s ‘Get Money’ with Lil’ Kim at VH1’s ‘Hip Hop Honors’ (see the performances here).
Originally some thought he was opting out of the song’s more provocative lyrics for the sake of TV, but further review proved homeboy just flubbed majorly. After a serious backlash ensued (and is still ongoing), RHQ took to Instagram to offer an apology and his take on what happened.
Did you miss it? Read his apology and relive the awkward moment below:
SLAY ZADDY
This late ballroom queen just proved that he ain’t real hip-hop, I know that entire song and I was only 4 or 5 when it came out aswell so no excuses girl, go get finished 69ing with young thug, Goodbye!
Rich Homegirl LaQuania lol…I don’t know her!
Harpo, who dis woman? lol
I saw the show last night and it was just phenomenal.
Yaas, love Lil Kim!
but s*it happens the show was great
Excuses, and more excuses. So which was it? You had technical difficulties or you got nervous every on stage. It sure as he’ll isn’t both. Admit you effed up and move on.

I don’t like when trained “professionals” mess up and give every damn excuse in the book. There are people we each know that would have murdered that verse. It’s not even like he had to sing and keep a tune… Totally and completely embarrassing.

Any hood karaoke spot someone would own that verse, hell the full song.
i was still in first grade when that song came out and i can recite every word from both biggie and the queen. how are you booked to perform at a HIP HOP HONORS SHOW and don’t know a classic hip hop record? diddy was looking down at him like ( b****). im almost positive diddy was pissed. other than that the show was amazing. p.s. is it me or is missy starting to look real old and tired in the face, (no shade) just asking. Everytime i see her she has bags under her eyes and she is always wearing a hairstyle that covers majority of her face. hope all is well
He f@#k up on the stage
Lack of studying the craft.
People make mistakes though but someone from NY should have been chosen.
These skinny jeans heifers not made from that grain to be spitting no B.i.g lyrics
