Nick Lachey‘s latest TikTok has gone viral after fans deemed it as “cringey” as Ken’s guitar serenade in the Barbie movie.
The video even caused “Nick Lachey singing ick” to trend on the video-sharing app.
His acoustic cover of Halsey‘s “Without Me” is taking the heat of more than five million viewers.
“I used to do something called #MusicMonday where I’d drop weekly covers. Should I bring it back to TikTok? Let me know,” Lachey innocently wrote in the caption of the TikTok video before fans began absolutely roasting it.

One person duetted the video and compared it to a guy trying to impress a girl on a date with his awkward singing.
“When you’re on a 3rd date and he whips out a guitar and says he’s ‘never done this before,'” the video’s caption joked.
“Someone said it’s giving youth pastor. Facts,” one person quipped in the comments.
“What did Halsey do to deserve this lol,” another person said.
“That’s kenough,” a viewer hilariously wrote in reference to Ryan Gosling‘s over-the-top Ken in Barbie.
In another duet, actor Josh Peck also poked fun at the video.
“When your homie bares his soul and you’re a ride or die friend,” he captioned the duet.
Even language learning app Duolingo got in on the roasting, commenting on the original video, “You are kennough (pls don’t serenade me again).”
“The Die Hard poster is peak mojo dojo casa house,” another person said, referring to Ken’s transformation of Barbie’s dream house.
“The guy at the party who starts singing ‘Wonderwall’ vibes,” someone else joked.
And of course, there were some 98 Degrees jokes. One person wrote, “Someone said, ‘It’s giving lukewarm 78 degrees.'”
Others noted that it seemed like singing the cover took a lot of effort for Lachey.
“Someone said, ‘It looks like he is riding an imaginary horse in slow motion’ and I can’t unsee it lol,” one viewer commented.
“It looks like it physically hurts for him. The straining,” someone else noted.
And one person represented us all with a comment about living out our pop star daydreams.
