PopUps: Watch Kesha Try to Hug Jerry Seinfeld, Who Has No Idea Who She is
READ TIME: 1 MIN.
Kesha who?!
A video of Kesha trying to get a hug out of Jerry Seinfeld is making its way around social media this week.
In a clip posted to Twitter by radio personality Tommy McFly shows McFly interviewing Seinfeld Monday night during the Night of Laughter & Song at the Kennedy Center. Kesha strolls up during their conversation and butts in by saying: "I love you so much!"
"Oh, thanks," the comedian says.
"Can I give you a hug?" the "We R Who We R" singer asks.
"No, thanks," Seinfeld responds.
"Please?!" Kesha asks again.
"No, thanks," Seinfeld says.
Kesha then moves closer to Seinfeld, who moves away from her. The pop star whimpers and runs away with her tail between her legs.
"I don't know who that was," Seinfeld says.
"That was Kesha," McFly informs the standup legend.
"OK. Well, I wish her the best," Seinfeld adds.
Watch the awkward exchange below.
