Things got quite awkward during an Obama rally in Illinois last night. Producer/Black Eyed Peas frontman will.i.am was on hand to support our President’s re-election, and the out-of-touch reporter definitely knew he was someone famous…he just wasn’t too sure on who. What’s funny is, he named two people that I would think an older white man would never know before will.i.am! Everyone knows the Black Eyed Peas…even my mom! LOL! After calling him both Wale and Wyclef and being corrected by his camera man (at least someone knew something), he finally gets it right. Watch the hilarity ensue below.
