Last night, VH1 showed up and showed out with their well-received special “Hip-Hop Honors.” Part of the festivities included an incredible tribute to Lil Kim where the likes of Teyana Taylor, Dej Loaf and more paid homage to the famed femcee.

During the celebration, Kim called on her good friend Rich Homie Quan to come out on stage and help Kim perform “Get Money.” RHQ was expected to rap Biggie’s verse, but it’s safe to say that didn’t happen as planned.

Unfortunately, Rich Homie flubbed some of the lyrics in Biggie’s iconic verse and as a result, the Twittersphere went into a frenzy.

Waiting just a day later, Quan felt the need to address everyone and make it clear he was far from trying to disrespect, but instead was nervous being on that big of a platform. Can you blame him?

Check out his apology below, as well as video footage of the lyric mishap. It’s ok, Rich Homie….I think.

I assure you that I never intended to disrespect Biggie Smalls. I have long respected his work and his contribution to the rap game.I greatly apologize not only to Biggie Smalls, but also to all of my fans and to New York. The city of New York has been nothing but good to me. I felt honored to stand on stage with artists I grew up listening to.Once on stage I had some technical difficulties and must admit I got nervous.I will forever be sorry to New York, my fans, Biggie Small, Lil Kim, and all the Hip Hop community for my performance. I hope you can accept my apology. To Lil Kim, Thank you for the opportunity. Rich Homie Baby
