A Faith Hill / Biggie Collaboration Is NOT in the Works — But Faith’s Into the Idea
Despite a Friday afternoon (Feb. 3) tweet from CNN, a collaboration between Faith Hill and the Notorious B.I.G. is not in the works -- but Hill's into the idea!
CNN sent Twitter users into a frenzy on Friday afternoon, after mistakingly tweeting that country star Hill would soon be releasing an album of duets with the late rapper. The story itself correctly identifies R&B star Faith Evans as the artist working on the collaborative project, and a photo in the story and attached to the tweet shows Evans, but the tweet itself names Hill rather than Evans.
CNN tweeted out a correction shortly after sending the original tweet, but that didn't stop Twitter users from responding with GIFs of Hill and calling out the news organization for the mistake.
"I hope Sean Penn hops on a track or two," one user replied, including a photo of rapper Sean "Diddy" Combs in place of actor Penn.
A few hours after CNN's original tweet went out, Hill herself re-tweeted the message and, along with a smiling emoji, admitted, "This sounds awesome!"
In reality, Hill already has a busy 2017 planned: She and her husband, Tim McGraw, recently recorded a new duet for the upcoming movie The Shack and will embark on a co-headlining tour in April. Additionally, they will be the subjects of a Country Music Hall of Fame exhibit beginning in November.
