A prank involving Sombr aka Shane Michael Boose and Selena Gomez has fans talking online. During his recent concert segment "Call Your Ex Onstage," Sombr decided to call Selena Gomez. Before the call, Shane Michael Boose was seen asking his fans to stay quiet during the call to make it seem more realistic.

After the phone got picked up from Selena's side, Sombr was seen confirming by asking:

"Is this Selena?"

However, to his surprise, Selena's husband, Benny Blanco, picked up the call, asking:

"Who's this?"

Excitedly, Shane was seen confirming if he was Benny Blanco. However, Benny, on the call, seemed troubled, saying:

"Yes, who is this?"

Shane Michael Boose later clarified that it was him and said he had been planning to call. However, things quickly turned awkward when he asked Benny if he was working on new music, trying to ease the tension between them. During the conversation, the singer also asked Blanco if he knew him, to which Benny confirmed with a yes.
