Saturday night’s Instagram battle between R&B legends Teddy Riley and Babyface was supposed to be one for the ages.
Unfortunately, Teddy and his crew of about 10 people couldn’t figure out how to get the audio working while 400k people watched.

Eventually, the Internet went after Teddy for his elaborate setup that pretty much ruined everyone’s night.

The hype man doesn’t know how to fix audio? AND he doesn’t have a mask on either? Teddy! What is going on!?
