The rapper rocked out to ‘Like Weezy’ and ‘Rather Lie‘ from his latest hit album
Playboi Carti performed at tonight’s BET Awards in Los Angeles. His set included “Like Weezy” and “Rather Lie” (sans The Weeknd, who is featured) from his chart-topping album, I Am Music.
He decked out the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles with two black, luxury SUVs, with one dancer getting down on top of one of the vehicles. His smoky set was black and white, with logos for his album, music itself, and his label, Opium, flashing rapidly behind him and his DJ. He, however, stood out in a colorful hoodie.
The performance comes as Carti continues his ongoing run of dates on The Weeknd’s After Hours Til Dawn tour across North America. Carti released I Am Music in March, and the highly anticipated album quickly rose to the top of the charts. Known for raucous live shows, Carti was relatively mellow during his BET Awards performance, smiling and telling the crowd, “I love y’all, I appreciate y’all,” before leaving the stage.
Carti was among a night full of performances from acts like Lil Wayne, Teyana Taylor, and more.
