The Kid Laroi had an awkward encounter with a family member earlier this week.

Maggie, who was behind a barricade with her friends, called out to the Stay singer: 'We're cousins, bro!'

Laroi looked confused at first as Maggie continued to speak up.
'That's your cousin, Maggie Elston,' one of her friends called out.
'Oh yeah, yeah, yeah!' said Laroi as a look of recognition swept across his face.
'That actually is my cousin!' he laughed as he leaned in to take a selfie with the teen.

'I think the last time I saw you, you were this big,' he said, indicating they hadn't seen each other since childhood.
'Bro, now I listen to your music. That's hectic!' Maggie exclaimed.
Laroi was born in the Sydney suburb of Waterloo and grew up in relative poverty.
'It is definitely surreal, I am f**king proud to be back,' the singer said after his recent return to Australia following a lengthy stint abroad.
'I am blessed to come back. It is good to see everyone. It has been such a long time so it is definitely super surreal.'
Laroi's Australian tour began at Sydney's Qudos Bank Arena on May 26.
It has been three years since Laroi, whose real name is Charlton Howard, left Australia to follow his dream of conquering the United States.
