Jay Kay, lead singer of the band Jamiroquai, was forced to deny participating in the Capitol riots.
The English musician took to Twitter on Thursday after noticing his name was trending as people mistakenly identified him as one of the rioters who breached security at the US Capitol building. Many seemed to confuse the two men with their similar headgear.
“Hello Washington, I love hairdressing, but I’m not sure this is my crowd” he tweeted. “Stay safe everyone, J xxx. “
The 51-year-old singer often wears opulent headgear when performing on stage. As a result, some quickly believed he was among the rioters pictured breaking into the Senate Chamber on Wednesday without a shirt on wearing red, white and blue face paint and what appeared to be Viking horns.
