Desiigner did an energetic performance of “Panda” at last night’s awards and hopped into the crowd for a bit, which is when cameras caught Fabolous giving the rapper some serious side eye. But everything isn’t always what it seems and the rapper took to Twitter to clear things up.

Nah Desiigner just caught me off guard 😂

He was on stage, I looked down at my phone for minute then I looked up & he was by me 😳😂

See, just a simple case of being confused, no shade or anything. Still, although it was unintentional, the look on Fabolous’ face is one of the best reactions to last night’s performance.
