Oops: CNN Mistakes Faith Hill for Faith Evans in Tweet
Whoops. This is awkward. Today, CNN ran a story about how Faith Evans will be releasing an album of duets with The Norious B.I.G. The album will be coming out May 19th, just two days before the rapper would have turned 45. While the article was totally accurate, when CNN Tweeted the article, they accidentally wrote that Faith Hill would be releasing the music.
