'Jeopardy' Contestant Mixes Up Azealia Banks and Iggy Azalea

. (Radio.com) Feuding rappers Iggy Azalea and Azealia Banks will not be pleased to learn that they were recently confused by a Jeopardy champion contestant. The mixup happened when host Alex Trebek posed this question to Nicholas Berube: 'This Australian hip-hopper used the pet name/street name system to come up with her rap name."

Forgetting that the ocean, among other things, separates one Azalea from the other Azealia, Berube responded with the name of the Harlem upstart best known for "212": "Azealia Banks."

What's worse is that none of the other contestants figured out his blunder in time to give Trebek the correct answer. Somewhere right now, Azealia Banks is drafting her Twitter takedown--unless she was consoled by Berube's apology on Twitter.

After the episode aired, he tweeted at his favorite Azealia to let her know it was a harmless mistake. "Hey @AZEALIABANKS - I'm the guy on Jeopardy who mixed you up with Iggy Azalea. I apologize. I actually think you're awesome.- Nicholas Berube (@nicholas_berube) January 21, 2015"
