Vince Staples trolled a white fan at Lollapalooza by challenging him to perform "Big Fish" to prove he wasn't racist. Staples picked the fan, Stefan, out of the crowd and began peppering him with questions. Eventually, he brought him up on stage to partake in the bit.
“If you do this right, I’m not gonna think you’re racist. If you f*ck this up, I’m gonna think you say n****r when you go home," Staples remarked. Stefan confirmed he doesn't say the word when he's in private. From there, Stefan struggled to remember the lyrics to "Big Fish." He got out Juicy J's part on the hook, "I was up late night ballin' / Countin' up hundreds by the thousand." Afterward, a fan on X (formerly Twitter) asked Staples: "Why did you punish us with that kids terrible attempt at big fish [crying emojis] you knew he didn't know it?" He responded: "You right I did… my bad."
