Psy imposter tricks Cannes organizers, real “Gangnam Style” singer calls him out on Twitter

Psy, the South Korean pop star behind “Gangnam Style” and “Gentleman,” is not at the Cannes Film Festival. However, an imposter is going around dressed like the rapper and tricking organizers and guests to get into exclusive events.

According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Psy impersonator has been seen using Psy’s name to get into parties and he has been posing for pictures with festival goers and celebrities. The man even tricked the FilmMagic photo service, which labeled photos of the man as “Psy.” Naomie Harris, who starred in Skyfall also tweeted a picture of herself with the imposter.

Psy took to Twitter on Wednesday to tell make sure that his manager, Scooter Braun, knew about the imposter. “Seems like there's another ME at cannes...say Hi to him @scooterbraun lol,” he wrote, noting that he’s actually in Singapore right now.

He also posted another photo of the imposter and Braun vowed to find him.

Psy recently released “Gentleman,” his follow-up to “Gangnam Style.” After a month, the video is up to 356 million views.
