ESPN’s Cari Champion’s interview with Big Boi got super awkward when she asked a clever Migos-inspired question about a dog named after actress Halle Berry.
“You got a dog named Halle Berry,” Cari begins. “Is she bad—or is she boujee?”
“She’s dead,” Big Boi replies stonefaced.
Mortified, Champion begins apologizing immediately. Big Boi laughs as he explains Halle Berry was Big Boi’s wife’s dog, anyway, and he admits that he didn’t have much attachment to her.
Even still, things got more awkward for the ESPN personality in her attempt to acknowledge the flub with humor on Twitter. The attempt consequently had her digging herself further into a hole when she tweeted #RIPHalleBerry.
Confused and shocked fans thought she was talking about the Academy Award-winning actress, prompting Cari to correct herself.
For the Outkast rapper, his third solo album is reportedly finished and it’s slated to feature Gucci Mane.
RIP HALLE BERRY
Didn’t seem THAT awkward. Must be a super slow day, Cherise.
Right?? Smdh this site has fallen so hard…
If this site has “fallen so hard” why do you still come back??
Hope. Make HHDX Great Again!
Probably to see if there is any relevant news that can be found among the b.s. Why else?
To clown yo stupid ass
sorry bout that mic check1212, that was directed at Trak.
Yeah it didn’t seem awkward. Honest mistake, nobody got mad or offended or oddly quiet. The dog dying wasn’t some big news or something that she should have known so I don’t know why this is even a thing.
