Apparent technical difficulties didn’t stop Kendrick Lamar from making a memorable appearance at Beyoncé’s latest show in the Los Angeles area on Monday night.
“I want y’all to give it up for somebody special,” Beyoncé told the crowd, as seen in fan-shared footage. At this point in the singer’s performance of the “America Has a Problem” remix, Kendrick emerged from the floor of the stage.
Initially, Kendrick’s wireless mic appeared to not be working, resulting in a period of silence during his surprise appearance. However, deeper into the song, the mic suddenly roared into life, drawing cheers from the crowd.
The show marked Beyoncé’s third date of a three-night run at SoFi Stadium in Inglewood. Notably, the Sept. 4 date also coincided with the singer’s 42nd birthday, an occasion further commemorated with a “Happy Birthday”-performing appearance from Diana Ross.
Next up on the Renaissance World Tour routing are Vancouver, Seattle, Arlington, Houston, New Orleans, and Kansas City. The blockbuster tour has spurred numerous headlines, including those of the Hey Look Who Showed Up at the Beyoncé Show Tonight variety. High-profile attendees at various dates on the tour have included Pedro Pascal, Frank Ocean, Paul McCartney, Dua Lipa, Megan Thee Stallion, and many more.
As for Beyoncé’s birthday, the singer also celebrated by teasing a new track, as heard below.
