Notorious BIG, Faith Evans Album: CNN Confuses R&B Artist With Faith Hill In Viral Tweet [VIDEO]
CNN confused Faith Evans with Faith Hill in a new tweet that's quickly gone viral.
Evans has a new duet album with her late husband The Notorious B.I.G. coming out called The King and I. But if you ask CNN, they would claim Biggie is collaborating with a different Faith: Faith Hill.
CNN tweeted about the album Friday afternoon with a photo of both Evans and Biggie, but their actual tweet seemed to tell a different story: "Faith Hill is releasing an album of duets with The Notorious B.I.G, 20 years after his murder."

Twitter quickly jumped on this tweet to tell CNN that it was in fact Evans, not Hill, who was collaborating with The Notorious B.I.G., and the CNN Twitter account quickly followed up with a correction tweet.
After the screw-up started trending, Hill actually responded to the tweet, which was clearly news to her!
This sounds awesome! https://t.co/jzmyUHKaxU

Evans then responded to Hill, asking if she wanted to collaborate on a bonus duet:

Regardless, this will help bring more attention to The King and I album, set for release on May 19. The album has its own website already, with an explanation on it will explore:
"'The King and I' is a duets album that will take listeners through a unique journey of Faith and Biggie's relationship," the website states. "The album features un-released Biggie vocals and is packed with original productions by DJ Premier, Just Blaze, Stevie J, Salaam Remi, Chucky Thompson, Puff Daddy and more. The album also features guest artist Lil' Cease, Snoop Dogg, Busta Rhymes, Jadakiss, Styles P, Sheek Louch (founders of The L.O.X. hip hop group), 112, and a first time collaboration with legendary hip hop artist Lil' Kim. The narrative of 'The King & I' is compelling, compassionate, and offers a very personal glimpse into the love life of two of the biggest Hip Hop & R&B artists of all time."
