Tommy Richman Claps Back at Streamer Asking Him to Sing: ‘What Am I? A Dancing Monkey?’

Don’t ask Tommy Richman to sing on command.

The Virginia singer popped up on streamer DLOU’s Twitch earlier this week and found himself in an awkward situation. While hanging out in a studio in L.A. with fellow artists like Cash Cobain and newcomer B Jack$, whose song “Get Jiggy” is an early contender for Song of the Summer, DLOU asked Richman to sing his smash hit “Million Dollar Baby” on the spot — which didn’t go over well.

“I ain’t singing that sh–, bro,” a clearly annoyed Tommy Richman said. “What am I? A dancing monkey? I’m not singing that sh–. I don’t even know you, bro.”

He then reiterated that he was in no mood to sing on command for DLOU’s chat and demanded to be treated with some decency.

“I’m not singing sh–,” he said again. “So chill out, bro. Have some respect. Have some respect, bro. I just met you, bro. You’re telling me to sing a song. Talk to me like a real man. I don’t give a f— about this streaming sh–, bro. Talk to me like a real man.”

He then added: “Get your camera off me, bro. Don’t be weird to me.”

“Million Dollar Baby” took over TikTok and the rest of social media last year, propelling the song to debut at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 in May 2024.

During last month’s American Music Awards, Richman told Billboard that he’s working on a new album that he plans to release sometime this summer.
