He may be a world-famous rockstar renowned for his attitude, but at the end of the day, Liam Gallagher is also a dad.
That means he gets the names of bands, artists and in this case, rappers that his kids are into hilariously wrong.
Gallagher made the brilliant faux-pas during his recent interview with GQ - the same one in which he shared his thoughts on James Corden and Carpool Karaoke - when he was asked what music his kids are into.
He replied: "My kids f**king love grime music. Stormzy, Skepta - he seems pretty mad. I like him. They also like that bloke, WhatsApp Ricky. You know, the American geezer, stylish, funny, gold teeth.”
When the journalist asked whether he meant A$AP Rocky, he said: "Oh yeah, that's the fella. WhatsApp Ricky. That's a better f**king name, anyway."
Needless to say, Twitter was loving it:
Liam Gallagher calling A$AP Rocky "Whatsapp Ricky" is one of the funniest things I've ever heard hahaha
