Hegerberg became the inaugural Women's Ballon d'Or winner at a glitzy awards ceremony on Monday.
The incident left 2018 FIFA World Cup winner Kylian Mbappé visibly gobsmacked and provoked outrage across the soccer industry.
Sports Illustrated journalist Grant Wahl said Martin Solveig's twerk question was "absolute trash."
Horan then congratulated Hegerberg, and added: "You do not want this bs."
Footage of the incident was posted on Twitter:
Hegerberg herself has since said that Solveig approached her after the ceremony to apologise, adding that she was happy to make history by becoming the first ever women's Ballon d'Or champion — the first woman to be recognised by France Football as the best on the planet.
Hegerberg then said she was "just happy" to have won the Ballon d'Or "to be honest."
Hegerberg also posted this photograph to her social media followers on Twitter:
Hegerberg plays as a striker for Olympique Lyonnais and scored an astonishing 42 goals in 25 games in all competitions for the French team in the 2017-2018 season.
Her exploits in the attack helped the Lyon team win the Division 1 championship and the UEFA Women's Champions League.
Hegerberg and Lyon are next in action in a Division 1 match against Soyaux-Charente on Saturday, December 8.
