“I Won’t Get You Into Trouble”: Rahman’s Light-Hearted Quip
While performing at the Tacoma Dome, Rahman noticed the camera panning across the audience. As excited fans waved to the screen, he joked, “I won’t get you into trouble. Don’t worry.” The crowd erupted in laughter and applause at the cheeky remark, instantly recognising the reference to the viral Coldplay “kiss cam” moment.
The Coldplay Controversy Everyone’s Talking About
Rahman’s comment was a direct nod to what happened at Coldplay’s Gillette Stadium show in Massachusetts. During the concert, the kiss cam focused on Andy Byron, CEO of Astronomer, and Kristin Cabot, the company’s Chief People Officer. The two were seen getting cosy before abruptly pulling away once they realised they were on camera. Coldplay’s Chris Martin joked, “Either they’re having an affair or they’re just very shy.”
The clip went viral, leading to online gossip and memes, and eventually resulted in Andy Byron stepping down as CEO.
Even Team Baahubali Joined the Fun
The viral moment sparked meme fests across social media. One of the most popular came from the official Baahubali account, which shared an edited image of Baahubali (Prabhas) and Devasena (Anushka Shetty) from Baahubali 2, captioned, “CEO and HR of Maaahishmathi,” complete with a hugs emoji. Fans loved the creative jab.
