Grammy-winning pop singer Chappell Roan found herself in an unexpected—and absolutely hilarious and stressful—situation when she accidentally joined a TikTok Live battle with a Punjabi man.
What followed was a chaotic interaction that had fans in the comments laughing out loud. LOL smilies flooded her comments section as Roan attempted to communicate in Urdu with the TikTok user, while struggling to exit the livestream.
The viral clip, now making the rounds online shows Roan looking confused as she realized she entered a TikTok Live battle. Holding her face in her hands, appearing stressed out over accident, she says “Assalamu alaikum,” to which the man responds, “Wa alaikum salaam,” and goes on to encourage her “one match…”
While the singer struggled to get off the chat, she even requested the man to log out, but as he was too keen going up against her, he continued chatting in Punjabi and asked her for “one match.”
Fans flooded social media with reactions, calling the moment “accidental comedy gold.” One user wrote with laugh out loud emojis, “Chappell Roan connecting to her punjabi roots” while another quipped, “Chappell in her ‘confused but rolling with it’ era.” Still another added, “Chappell Roan’s TikTok Live fumble proves even stars can’t escape the app’s wild side!”
Meanwhile, other fans went a step further in trying to determine the nationality of the man. While some thought he was Indian, others claimed he was from Pakistan. “Imagine you get connected with the CHAPPELL ROAN and even tries to speak urdu with you but you are that one Pakistani on tiktok,” wrote a fan, while another added, “he’s pakistani punjabi n this is funny and not funny at the same time. oh chappell what you landed yourself in.”
Roan eventually managed to exit the live session, but not before leaving fans with an iconic meme-worthy moment.
