At Lollapalooza 2024, Vince Staples invited a fan to take over his concert, and the outcome was hilarious.
In an attempt to disprove any notions of racism, the California native asked a white fan to play his 2017 hit song “Big Fish” during his performance on Sunday, August 4.
Vince informed him, “If you do this right, I’m not gon’ think you racist,” after cautioning him not to hold his phone in front of his face. I’m going to assume you say n-gger when you get home if you screw this up.
The fan, Stefan, firmly replied, “I do not!” when Vince asked him to confirm if he uses the hard R when saying the n-word at home.
Vince had to remind Stefan at one point since he couldn’t quite recall the lyrics: “Sing into the mic you bitch.” Eventually, though, he did remember the chorus.
The rapper then replied, “You right I did… my bad,” to a tweet from an audience member who queried, “Why did you punish us with that kids terrible attempt at big fish [crying emojis] you knew he didn’t know it #Lollapalooza.”
One person commented on the viral video, saying, “I haven’t laughed so hard in months.” “Thank you for an actual real audience participation segment that was funny as hell,” commented another person.
Another individual quoted Vince as shouting, “Sing into the mic you bitch,” and included the emoji for laughter, stating, “Crazy!”
In other news, Vince Staples has announced his Black In America tour, which will take his Dark Times album on the road.
The 13-date tour will begin in Atlanta in October and stop in New York City, Seattle, Washington, D.C., and other cities before concluding in November in his hometown of Los Angeles.
On a few occasions, Baby Rose will open for the rapper who grew up in Long Beach.
Dark Times, which was released on May 24, is a significant album for Vince Staples because it is his final release via Def Jam, the formidable label he has been associated with for more than ten years.
He previously told Rolling Stone, “I haven’t really got to that part of the bridge yet,” regarding the uncertainty of his future intentions. Music is music, and the way these things are addressed has changed in the modern era. I’m not in a rush to sign any new agreements or anything of the sort.
“But, I’m grateful that Def Jam and Universal gave me a chance when I was a youngster. However, as of right now, I have no idea how it will turn out.
