--- ---  # _Jeopardy!_ Contestant Can't Stop Apologizing for Mixing Up Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks by [Samantha Grossman](https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/) ## Samantha Grossman Jan 22, 2015 9:56 PM UTC  by [Samantha Grossman](https://time.com/author/samantha-grossman/) ## Samantha Grossman Jan 22, 2015 9:56 PM UTC “This Australian hip-hopper used the pet name/street name system to come up with her rap name,” host Alex Trebek said on a recent episode of _Jeopardy!_ Contestant Nicholas Berube quickly buzzed in, offering the response, “Who is Azealia Banks?” He was, of course, wrong. What he _meant_ to say was, “Who is Iggy Azalea?” It was an innocent mistake, as they are both “hip-hoppers” with similar names, but it’s _kinda_ funny because the two rappers [openly hate each other](http://www.complex.com/music/2014/06/a-history-of-azealia-banks-twitter-beefs/iggy-azalea). Berube clearly felt pretty bad about the mixup because he joined Twitter solely to apologize. First to Azealia Banks: > [](https://twitter.com/nicholas%5Fberube/status/557706820501127168) And then just more generally to the whole Internet: > [](https://twitter.com/nicholas%5Fberube/status/557708599641010176) After making the mistake while taping the show, Berube [said](https://twitter.com/nicholas%5Fberube/status/557944612208533504) he “immediately knew the internet would explode,” but couldn’t defend himself until the episode aired months later. He seems like a really nice guy, doesn’t he? But sorry, ladies, he’s made sure to let everybody know he’s off the market: > [](https://twitter.com/nicholas%5Fberube/status/557731277265436672) Jeopardy Contestant Mixes Up Iggy Azalea, Azealia Banks: Video ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/3679217/jeopardy-contestant-mixes-up-iggy-azalea-azealia-banks/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/3679217/jeopardy-contestant-mixes-up-iggy-azalea-azealia-banks/"},"headline":"Jeopardy!
