New York rapper Joey Bada$$ has stepped forward to reveal how upset he is with fellow hip-hop artist Rich Homie Quan forgetting the lyrics to Notorious B.I.G.‘s “Get Money” verse.

Joey went to Twitter Tuesday (July 12) and singled Quan out.

Quan came out during B.I.G. protégé Lil’ Kim‘s “Get Money” VH1 Hip Hop Honors set and managed to get a few lyrics in before going radio silent.

Quan knew about four words before he just — stopped. And though Kim tried to step in and save him from his massive screw up, the damage was already done. RHQ looked foolish, dancing around stage in Timberlands and a Coogi sweater while VH1 cut to dismayed crowd reaction shots. I don’t know how this decision was made, or how many people turned down the opportunity before Rich Homie’s phone rang, but somebody is probably getting fired tomorrow. (Uproxx)

The incident sparked a few major reactions across social media.

During the broadcast, VH1 honored hip-hop icons like Lil’ Kim and Missy Elliott.
