Boyz II Men surprised just about everyone when they popped up the screen to sing the national anthem at today’s NFC Championship Game between the 49ers and Green Bay Packers in San Francisco.
The legendary 90’s group did a masterful job singing the anthem, of course, showing everyone that they haven’t lost anything over all these years.
But it was a tad confusing to see them dressed in 49ers gear, seeing how the group is well known for being from Philadelphia. Remember their big hit “Mowtown Philly.”
Fans had some fun on Twitter wondering what happened to their Philly loyalty:
Boyz II Men and the Bay Area go hand-in-hand. I'll never forget their hit, Motown San Francisco.
