Lil Uzi Vert brought the strip club to Rolling Loud's main stage for their special performance at the Hip-Hop festival.
On Sunday night, July 23, the Philly native took over the GoPuff stage and turned it into Miami's popular strip club Booby Trap complete with stripper poles and the hottest dancers in the city. They entered the stage to the tune of their new song "Suicide Doors" from their new Pink Tape album. As they performed the record, a slew of dancers were spotted twerking and working the poles alongside a crowd of people throwing money in the air.
Throughout the performance, Uzi encouraged everyone to throw some dollar bills in the air as the strippers danced around and pulled some tricks on the pole. The people behind the Generation Now signee treated the stage as if it was a real strip club. The bottle girls held up Bobby Trap signs while special guests like JT of City Girls and Kai Cenat, who was on stage when Uzi performed "444+222." Uzi also performed songs like "CS" and, of course, "XO TOUR Llif3."
