Los Angeles, CA – Major award shows are bound to have a few hiccups — just ask Warren Beatty who announced the wrong film for Best Picture at the 2017 Academy Awards. On Sunday night (May 23) as the 2021 Billboard Awards sailed through its presentation, there was one fairly noticeable error as DaBaby was accepting the honor for Top Rap Song for his 2020 megahit “Rockstar” featuring Roddy Ricch.
Instead of playing DaBaby’s multi-platinum song, Billboard blasted Post Malone’s 2018 single “Rockstar” featuring 21 Savage. As DaBaby walked toward the stage with the wrong song in the background, he pointed at his new trophy and said, “It’s me, It’s me, I’ll live with that,” before going into his speech.
