The Prodigy is a monster project, clocking in at 35 tracks and featuring inspiration from across the musical landscape; trap, drill, R&B, and classic hip-hop all filter through into Skillibeng's Jamaican party music.

Blame it on the excitement of the moment. As Los Angeles Rams pulled off the comeback victory over the San Francisco 49ers on Sunday (Jan. 30), securing both the NFC Championship and a spot in Super Bowl LVI, the camera panned to the crowd to see which celebs were on hand to witness this win. The jumbotron displayed Sarah Michelle Gellar and her husband, Freddie Prinze Jr. …except it wasn’t Sarah, 44, and Freddie, 45. It was actually Big Sean and his date for the evening, Jhene Aiko. Sarah quickly pounced on the chance to poke fun at the blunder. “@BigSean, do you get mistaken for me as often as I get mistaken for you?” she wrote on Instagram.
Big Sean and Jhené Aiko had a case of stolen identity over the weekend when they attended the NFC Championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and the San Francisco 49ers. The couple appeared on the Jumbotron at the game, but were accidentally labeled as another celebrity couple — Sarah Michelle Gellar and Freddie Prinze Jr. Gellar did attend the game, though she wasn't with her husband, but rather her pal Elsa Collins. The alum found the mix-up to be comical, posting pics of the mislabeled Jumbotron along with a selfie of her and Prinze Jr. "@bigsean do you get mistaken for me as often as I get mistaken for you? (Swipe right to see my actual date at the #ramshouse)," she captioned the post. A post shared by Sarah Michelle (@sarahmgellar)So far, Big Sean hasn't commented on the name swap, but he did post several photos from the game. In one selfie with Aiko, he joked about an older man in the background of his pic seemingly sleeping, writing, «The guy in the back is how I felt on the inside.» And while he didn't specifically call out the Jumbotron mishap, he did share a funny shot of himself and Aiko looking puzzled while staring at the Jumbotron without the swapped names. As for the big game, the Rams beat the 49ers 20 to 17, and will now advance to the Super Bowl.
