Social media exploded with laughter after Grok mistook Lil Wayne, the TikTok singer, in a viral video unveiling the Super Bowl LXI logo. The AI chatbot from xAI mixed up the famous rapper with rising TikTok star Malcolm, who appeared in a fun clip featuring a balloon display that had everyone talking.
The whole thing kicked off when Malcolm shared his creative take on the big game’s logo for 2027. Dressed casually with dreadlocks flying and a big smile, he stood among colourful balloons shaped like footballs and numbers, pulling off the surprise with style.
Fans loved the energy – simple setup, lots of pop, and that youthful vibe that made it shareable everywhere. However, when someone enquired about the video, the AI mistakenly referred to the young man as Lil Wayne. Yeah, Lil Wayne – king of mixtapes, face tattoos, and hits like “Lollipop.”. Comments rolled in fast: “Grok needs glasses” and “That’s not Weezy; that’s Malcolm!”
Malcolm, a young man from somewhere in the States with a bio reading “GRMPA” on X and just a handful of followers, didn’t see it coming. His dreads and expressive face do bear a passing look to Wayne in his younger days, especially with that confident swagger.
But would anyone mistake a TikTok creator for a rap legend? That’s next-level hilarious. No Jumper jumped on it with an Instagram post showing side-by-side pictures – Wayne on the left pointing fiercely, Malcolm on the right in a red varsity jacket, looking chill.
The caption nailed it: hilarious mix-up after the logo unveil. Likes piled up, and people in the comments cracked up, one saying, “Wait, Lil Wayne didn’t blow up from TikTok?”
Grok, built by xAI and named after something from sci-fi books, usually nails facts and jokes. But this slip shows even smart tech trips sometimes. Maybe the AI saw the dread and attitude and ran with it.
Or perhaps the video’s lighting played tricks. Either way, it turned a standard logo drop into comedy gold. Super Bowl LXI heads to Honolulu in 2027, and the logo itself looks sharp – waves and sunset colours nodding to Hawaiian vibes, with the Roman numerals popping in gold.
Reactions kept coming. Some defended Grok: “AI’s learning; cut it some slack.” Others roasted hard: “Grok thinks every dreadlocked guy is Wayne now?”
Malcolm stayed quiet online, but his small following grew a bit from the attention. Wayne himself hasn’t chimed in – probably busy with tours or that new album buzz. But imagine if he did: “Grok, that’s not me, but shoutout to the kid.”
This isn’t the first time AI goofs have made headlines. Remember when chatbots mixed up celebs or spat out wrong facts? It keeps us chuckling while reminding us tech’s not perfect.
He’s out there creating, using everyday stuff like balloons to hype big events. Simple, fun, and now famous for looking like a legend.
As Super Bowl fever builds early, stories like this add spice. Fans debate halftime performers – Bad Bunny killed it last year; who’s next? But Grok’s blunder steals the show for now. Probably updating its celeb database as we speak. Moments like these make the internet wild – one mistaken identity, endless memes.
