Jerry Seinfeld snubbed Kesha and the awkward moment was caught on camera. The singer approached the 63-year-old comedian when he was being interviewed and she asked for a hug, but he said "No" repeatedly.

The incident happened at National Night of Laughter in Washington, D.C. "I'm Kesha, I love you so much!" she said, to which he responded, "Oh, thanks." She then asked, "Can I give you a hug?" When he replied with a "no thanks," she pleaded, "Please? A little one." But he was still unmoved, "No thanks."

Kesha looked disappointed as she walked away. Seinfeld apparently had no clue who she was. "I don't know who that was!" he told the interviewer. When he was told it was Kesha, the comedian looked taken aback. "Oh, Ok. Well, I wish her the best," he said while turning around, trying to spot her among the guests.
