Following reports of Houston rapper Big T’s death, multiple outlets used a photo of battle rapper Big T, causing confusion among Hip Hop fans. Billboard, Page Six and The Daily Mail all used a photo of the wrong Big T.
The problem — of course — is battle rapper Big T is alive and well.
Billboard has since updated its story with the correct photo, but a Twitter post still incorrectly displays the Chicago battle rapper.
The outlet issued a correction on the original article that reads: “Billboard issues an apology to our readers and rapper Big T from Chicago for inadvertently using his photo in the originally reported story.”
Despite the sad circumstances, battle rapper Big T had a little fun at Billboard’s expense.
“Yooo @mediatakeout I understand y’all make mistakes but @billboard is ridiculous,” he wrote in an Instagram post on Wednesday (May 9). “how do you stop this @mediatakeout_.”
A few Twitter users caught on to the error and posted their reactions to the mixup as well.

If only rappers were smart enough to come up with more creative rap names.
