Fans Say An Imposter Stood In For Jeremih At Houston Show
Word on the social interwebs is that Jeremih tried to get his MF Doom on at the Houston stop of his Summer’s Over tour. As Spin and Bossip point out, Jeremih fans took to their socials in reaction to what they suspect is a doppelgänger in a black hoodie a la Luke Cage. Fan footage below shows the hooded figure who appears to be lip-syncing before he tries to hype the crowd as the backing track plays. Fans also claim the hoodie was on for the entire performance.

The basis for the stunt double accusation are rumors that Jeremih is increasingly unhappy about opening for PARTYNEXTDOOR rather than headlining, compounded by a controversial walk-off during Jeremih’s hometown stop in Chicago. He addressed the Chicago walk-off on Twitter but hasn’t responded to the allegations of an imposter in Houston despite people being pretty angry.

For now, you’ll just have to judge for yourself. Maybe he was just going for that Ab-Soul look?
