Flight attendant Chrissy Lofton appeared absolutely smitten during her encounter with the doppelganger.
“You make me feel so short!” she said, as she pulled the doppelganger closer to her for a selfie.
“Come, short stuff,” she said.
Lofton leaned in to the ordinary passenger, gave him a huge hug and said “thank-you” as the two embraced.
The selfie was snapped with success, and other people on the plane began seizing the opportunity to join the excitement.
Lofton was so convinced she had met the legendary rapper that she posted the selfie to her Instagram page alongside a caption that demonstrated just how duped she was.
