In an electrifying twist at one of Drake’s recent concerts, Lil Wayne made a surprise appearance, delighting fans with an unexpected performance. However, eagle-eyed audience members spotted something intriguing: the dynamic duo seemed to be getting a little help from a teleprompter on stage.
During a show-stopping moment in Sunrise, Florida, where Lil Wayne joined Drake, fans noticed a screen at the edge of the stage displaying lyrics to “Right Above It,” the song they were performing together. This sighting sparked curiosity and a bit of debate among the crowd.
The Amerant Bank Arena, where the performance took place, was fully equipped with teleprompters. No matter where Drake and Wayne moved on stage, the lyrics were always within sight, ensuring a seamless performance.
Choosing “Right Above It” was a nod to the Florida crowd, as the song served as the theme for “Ballers,” an HBO sports series set in Miami starring The Rock. Given the song’s massive success, it’s surprising to think that the artists might not know the lyrics by heart. However, the presence of teleprompters suggests that even the pros take precautions to avoid any potential mishaps during a live show.
The use of teleprompters in live performances has raised questions about the authenticity of an artist’s performance. Is it still considered a genuine performance if the artists are taking cues from a screen? This debate has divided fans and sparked discussions online.
Graphic artist Maha Sattva shared a video of the performance, which garnered thousands of comments. Fans were split on their opinions regarding the use of teleprompters during live shows, questioning the validity of such performances.
In the midst of this debate, Drake made headlines during the same show with his response to Kendrick Lamar’s “Like That” diss. The music world is now eagerly awaiting his next move, adding another layer of anticipation to his already electrifying performances.
