Sombr’s prank call to Selena Gomez took an awkward turn when her husband, Benny Blanco, answered the call. The incident happened during the “Call Your Ex” segment at the singer’s Monday night concert. The “Back to Friends” singer began the segment saying, “I’ll be calling my ex,” before dialing up Gomez’s number. However, things took an awkward yet hilarious turn when Blanco picked up the call.
Sombr prank calls Selena Gomez during concert only for Benny Blanco to pick up
When Sombr dialed Selena Gomez’s number for a prank call, he didn’t know things would take a surprising turn. Recently, during his concert, he told the audience, “I’m going to be calling my ex instead of you guys calling your ex,” as part of his “Call Your Ex” segment.
In a video clip shared on X (formerly Twitter), the audience was seen cheering him on as he asked them to stay quiet while he dialed the number. He further said that he felt “really nervous” about this, and after he made the call, he quickly realized that it wasn’t Gomez who had picked up the phone.
The 20-year-old singer asked, “Hello? Selena,” and then asked, “Is this Selena?” while he brought his phone near the microphone. With a man’s voice on the other end that said, “Who’s this?” Sombr quickly responded, “Is this Benny Blanco?,” to which he replied, “Yes, who’s this?”
Sombr then acted playfully, telling Blanco who was calling. While the record producer’s voice wasn’t very clear, Sombr mentioned that the reason he was calling was “a long story.” The young singer then asked Blanco if he was working on any new music, but from the conversation, it seemed that the songwriter wasn’t taking it playfully.
In the end, Sombr had to say “sorry,” explaining that he was trying to call someone else and didn’t know it was Blanco’s number. During the call, Sombr said that all this was “awkward,” and before hanging up, he told the producer that he was “trying to call” his wife. The prank that was meant to be fun became chaotic at the end. Nevertheless, it seemed like the audience enjoyed the conversation, as they cheered on during the entire segment.
