Seems people weren’t feeling Fergie’s patriotic spirit at this year’s NBA All-Star-Game.
The 42-year-old songstress was heavily mocked for her rendition of the National Anthem at Sunday’s game at Los Angeles’ Staples Center.
Late-night host Jimmy Kimmerl and others in the stadium could be seen snickering while Fergie put her spin on the song and even athletes were seen getting in a few laughs.

To make matters worse, Beyonce was also in attendance at the stadium. She had been criticized for singing over a pre-recorded version of the National Anthem at Barack Obama’s second inauguration only to wow journalist when she sang it at the Super Bowl press conference in 2013.
‘The worst rendition ever’ was quickly labeled on Twitter by those who could not believe that the Fergalicious songbird chose to sing the ‘Star-Spangled Banner’ in such a way.
‘Fox News reminds its audience that the murder of our beloved National Anthem by #Fergie happened under the FBI’s watch,’ said Marie Connor.

It was an eventful NBA All-Star Game that saw many not too thrilled with comedian Kevin Hart’s strange opener that ran longer than 15 minutes.
