How to display the website on moderncv without errors?

Question

I created a MWE that shows my problem
documentclass{moderncv}
moderncvstyle{classic}

firstname{My} % Your first name
familyname{Name} % Your last name

email{email@email.com}
homepage{www.somewebsite.com}{www.somewebsite.com} % <-- A

begin{document}
% homepage{www.somewebsite.com}{www.somewebsite.com} % <-- B
makecvtitle
end{document}

If I compile this MWE, I receive the following error:
LaTeX Error: Missing begin{document}. [homepage{www.somewebsite.com}{w]

If, on the other hand I comment line A but uncomment line B then it works (by working I mean the website appears on the header) but the text also appears in the main document as shown in the following picture

I am on macOS, using tlmgr I confirmed that moderncv is updated to version 2.1 (which seems to be the latest).
Is this a bug on moderncv (I find it unlikely) or is this a problem of my installation? If so, how can I go and chase where the problem is?

homepage, like email takes a single argument. Since you've provided two, the latter is considered content that should be set within the document. Since it occurs before begin{document}, LaTeX throws an error.
In short, just use homepage{<website>}.
