A man's bold attempt at singing an amapiano hit at a karaoke event in Ghana has the internet in stitches. The clip, posted by @sgmallgh, was filmed indoors at what appeared to be a lively nightlife venue during a "Karaoke Night with SG Mall" event, complete with colourful stage lighting and a cheering crowd.

The song in question was Jealousy, the popular amapiano track by Tyler ICU featuring Leemckrazy. The performer stepped up to the mic and delivered the song with tremendous confidence; the only issue was that the lyrics bore almost no resemblance to the actual words.
