Anderson .Paak was at Boston Calling Music Festival on Sunday for the latest stop on his ongoing Best Teef In the Game Tour. .Paak’s festival performances have become a headline-worthy spectacle in their own right, as earlier this year the Ventura singer surprised attendees at Coachella by welcoming late-90s pop artist Brandy to join him on stage. For his set at Boston Calling on Sunday, .Paak again welcomed a surprise guest. This time, it was controversial hip-hop/country crossover sensation Lil Nas X. Together, the two treated the audience to a duet performance of the rapper’s chart-breaking 2018 hit, “Old Town Road”.
The surprise sit-in started with .Paak’s keyboardist hammering away on the keys for a few different songs before transitioning into “Old Town Road”. Lil Nas X found his way to the stage in his trademark cowboy hat and a flame-embroidered black and white leather suit–a bold move during a hot holiday weekend. Lil Nas X’s presence at the festival had been hinted at by organizers, as the artist was billed as a “Special Guest” going into the weekend event.
Watch the opening portion of the sit-in performance from Sunday below.
.Paak continues his spring tour with his next scheduled performance at the MECU Pavilion in Baltimore, MD on Tuesday. Head to his website for tickets and tour info.
