Google learned its lesson the hard way that you don’t mess with Luther Vandross’s beloved legacy, or else Twitter will come for you. On July 5, the Internet discovered that when you searched for Vandross’s name on the search engine, the cover photo in the singer’s Google-generated biography blurb was instead a photo of rapper Master P with a pair of glasses on. That’s right, the mistaken photo of Master P wasn’t just in the images tab, it was straight up the first photo you see when you input Vandross.
“Loud and wrong, just loud and wrong!” one user joked after searching for the singer. Of course, this oversight didn’t sit well with many users on Twitter, who voiced their disappointment at the mixup. “Google, count your days! Mistaking Master P for Luther Vandross! SMH,” wrote another user with four facepalm emojis. “Listen, who is in charge of this?” one fan ranted in their video. “I wanna speak to a manager expeditiously.”

Even musician Questlove chimed in on his Instagram about the situation. “This is why humans aren’t replaceable,” the Roots frontman stated under a screenshot of the error. How about everyone just double-check themselves from now on? We’re looking at you, Google.
