Lil Uzi Vert didn’t get to perform on Saturday Night Live last weekend because of the writers strike, but they may have just gotten something better — an homage from Beyoncé.
The Grammy-winning “Cuff It” singer kicked off her “Renaissance World Tour” Wednesday in Stockholm, Sweden, and gave a nod to Lil Uzi Vert by performing a version of the rapper’s “Just Wanna Rock” dance.
Wearing sparkling silver pants, paired with a matching long sleeve shirt and metallic bra on top, Beyoncé and her backup squad did a quick version of the popular dance during a mashup of “Just Wanna Rock” and her single “Diva.”
The audience went wild and began to sing the lyrics to Uzi’s club anthem.
