TikTok star Tinx and DJ Diplo have been mocked on social media after a video showed them trying to convince a worker at the US Open to put them on the jumbotron.

A video posted to Diplo's Instagram on September 14 showed Tinx speaking to a man holding a camera, saying, "We promise we're famous! We're relevant! I have like 1.5 million on TikTok."

Diplo, who was off-screen, can be heard adding, "Can you record us for the jumbotron? We're famous, I swear to God."

The man appeared to misunderstand, pointing to the giant screen and asking, "When? When are they going to put you up? Are they going to put you up there?"

The caption under the post said they were unsuccessful in their attempts.

Various comments underneath Diplo's post called the pair out for attempting to convince the man that they are famous. One person wrote, "If you gotta yell it, are you really famous?"

Another wrote, "He probably doesn't even have TikTok on his phone. So cringe."

Several other comments posted laughing emojis in response to the video, and many echoed similar sentiments that it was "cringe" and "sad" of them to shout about their fame and TikTok following.

Previously, Diplo and Tinx appeared on the jumbotron at a Las Vegas Raiders game in December 2021, which led to rumors that the two were dating, according to Distractify.

Tinx, whose real name is Christina Najjar, told E! News in February that Diplo is "a very handsome man" but did not confirm that they were a couple.

Diplo posted a video on his TikTok account on September 12, with on-screen text stating, "When they sit you next to your ex at the US Open." The video showed Tinx and Diplo laughing together, with the caption reading, "Whoever is charge of these seating arrangements…"

The video received 2.3 million views, and Tinx commented "awkward" underneath the video.
