Swae Lee delivered one of the standout performances, treating fans to popular tracks such as Sunflower, No Type, Black Beatles, and Unforgettable. He even ignited excitement with a surprise reveal about upcoming new music in January.

Indian rapper Hanumankind, who recently bounced back from knee surgery, showcased his resilience with hits like Police at the Door and Monsoon Season. His act featured the dance crew Kings United, amplifying the vibe with their spectacular choreography.

Wiz Khalifa took listeners on an emotional ride, performing hits like Young Wild and Free and We Dem Boyz, culminating with a poignant dedication of See You Again to late artists, their images illuminated on the screen.

The night wrapped up with British rapper Central Cee showcasing his track Truth in the Lies, dressed in a T-shirt adorned with Lord Shiva, complemented by a green beanie and chunky necklace.
