Monday night, rapper Rich Homie Quan fumbled over Notorious B.I.G.’s lyrics from the hit “Get Money” during the VH1 Hip Hop Honors tribute to Lil Kim.
Quan released an official statement with a formal apology and took to his Instagram to show additional love to Lil Kim fans. The statement reads as follows:
I assure you that I never intended to disrespect the Memory of 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, Biggie Smalls 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 New York, my fans, Biggie Smalls, Biggie Smalls fans, 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.
