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.
