ABC Faces Twitter’s Wrath After Using A Picture of Quavo When Honoring Takeoff

These companies are really telling on themselves.

Network ABC is under Twitter fire after they mistakenly confused Quavo for Takeoff during their In Memorium segment, which aired on Dec. 26, using Quavo’s photo instead of Takeoff’s.

ABC quickly apologized and corrected

their mistake, but fans weren’t buying it.

“We apologize for the unfortunate error in a previous version of ‘The Year: 2022.’ It has been correction,” the apology read.

Many people took to Twitter to express their frustration and disappointment regarding the company’s failure to do a simple task—research. Others claimed

the company’s lack of diversity contributed to the mistake.

The former Migos member, Kirsnick Khari Ball, also known as Takeoff, died on Nov. 1 after being gunned down outside a bowling alley in Houston, Texas.

This wasn’t the first time Takeoff was mistaken for another Migos member. E! News used a photo of Offset when reporting that Houston police released new details regarding Takeoff’s death.
