Sexyy Red Surprises Fans with King of Pop Impersonator at 'Sexyy Red & Friends' Concert in St. Louis
Sexyy Red surprised her fans with a special guest appearance by a King of Pop impersonator at her recent "Sexyy Red & Friends" concert in St. Louis. The Chicago-based Michael Jackson tribute entertainer, Rico Hampton, wowed the audience with his performance of "Billie Jean" while Sexyy provided background vocals. The crowd eagerly anticipated a moonwalk from Hampton, but he opted for a knee slide across the stage instead.
In addition to Hampton, Sexyy Red also welcomed other guests like GloRilla, Pluto, Loe Shimmy, internet personality Shamar, and nine other performers, along with seven opening acts at the hometown show. Hampton's viral knee-sliding move at Sexyy's concert mirrored a previous private performance that gained attention over the summer.
Sexyy Red has been vocal about her admiration for Michael Jackson, citing him as a significant influence in her music. In a 2023 interview with Billboard, she discussed the parallels between her artistry and Jackson's iconic career. Recently, she shared a playful tennis match with Drake, who has matched Jackson's record of thirteen number-one hits, as part of the promotion for his upcoming ninth album, Iceman.
The collaboration between Sexyy Red and Drake sparked excitement among fans, with both artists playfully teasing each other on social media. As Sexyy affectionately referred to Drake as her "baby zeddy" and "Rich bd," their interaction showcased a fun and supportive dynamic between the two musicians.
