Rich Homie Quan Apologizes For Disrespecting The Notorious B.I.G.

Rich Homie Quan was the talk of the Internet from last night and into today after botching The Notorious B.I.G.'s 'Get Money" verse at the VHI Hip-Hop Honors.

Given it's a verse most rap fans can recite in their sleep, none of the talk was good.

RHQ addressed the situation in an Instagram post, apologizing to Biggie, New York and Lil Kim. He blamed the debacle on nerves and technical difficulties.

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

Are you ready to welcome Quan back onto the island?

Lil Kim is.

Spoken like a true giant. I loved you before and I'm gonna love you after Rich Homie. People make mistakes and things happen sometimes that we can't fix or undo. If you guys only knew the technical difficulties that went on behind the scenes. I would like to thank my friend @richhomiequan for coming through for me at the last minute. It's all love ❤️ #Repost @richhomiequan with ・・・ I assure you that I never intended to disrespect Biggie Smalls.
