D’oh. CBS instituted a gown rule to ensure that none associated with famous people embarrass the system. But unfortunately, there’s no cultural IQ signal to ensure the system doesn’t embarrass the celebrities. The official CBS Twitter crew erroneously identified Wiz Khalifa (pictured above along with his pregnant fiancee Amber Rose) as singer Trey Songz.
It is Trey Songz:

Only a matter of time before somebody plays the competition card.
How exactly does CBS error Wiz Kahlifa for Trey Songz during Black background Month. #Tragic

It’s going to be an enjoyable night.
