- Audience reactions were priceless, with some thanking Vince for the laughs.
- Vince later admitted on social media that it was intentional fun.
During his Lollapalooza set on August 4, 2024, Vince Staples decided to make the event unforgettable by inviting a fan on stage. The fan, a white guy named Stefan, was asked to sing Vince’s hit song ‘Big Fish.’
Before Stefan started, Vince threw out a challenge: if Stefan nailed the performance, Vince wouldn’t think he was racist. But if he messed up, Vince joked, he might assume Stefan uses the n-word at home. Stefan assured everyone he doesn’t use the word.
As soon as the music began, it was clear Stefan was in over his head. He struggled with the lyrics, and Vince had to step in, reminding him, ‘Sing into the mic you bitch.’ Despite the rocky start, Stefan eventually muddled through the chorus.
The audience loved the unexpected comedy. One person tweeted Vince, asking why he subjected the crowd to Stefan’s embarrassing attempt. Vince confessed on Twitter, ‘You right I did… my bad.’
Social media went wild with responses. One user said, ‘I haven’t laughed so hard in months,’ while another commented, ‘Thank you for an actual real audience participation segment that was funny as hell.’ Quotes from Vince, like ‘Sing into the mic you bitch,’ had people laughing out loud.
Vince Staples is also gearing up for his ‘Black In America’ tour, promoting his ‘Dark Times’ album. The tour kicks off in October and spans 13 cities, ending in Los Angeles in November. Baby Rose will be opening for him on select dates.
Released in May, ‘Dark Times’ is significant for Vince as it marks his last album with Def Jam. Reflecting on his future, Vince shared his mixed feelings about what’s next, appreciating Def Jam for his start but being unsure about new contracts.
