CNN tweeted out an unfortunate typo today, saying that Faith Hill would be releasing a duets album with The Notorious B.I.G.

Shaking my goddamn head. Faith Evans is the R&B singer who was married to the late, great Biggie Smalls, while Faith Hill is the country singer who is married to Tim McGraw. CNN quickly realized that the tweet should have said Faith Evans and not Faith Hill, but it was too late.

The memes and jokes had already spread like wildfire all over Twitter. Here are some of my favorites poking fun at CNN’s hilarious mix-up.

Some enterprising DJ needs to create a Faith Hill/Biggie mashup ASAP. If they strike while the iron is hot, there’s no doubt in my mind that it would go viral like a motherf*cker.
As for poor Faith Evans, there’s no such thing as bad press. In all honesty, CNN’s blunder gave her a ton more publicity for her upcoming album that she would have gotten. Hell, I’ll even give her a plug myself. Via Spotify, here’s two songs from The King & I, which is scheduled to be released on May 19, 2017.
