Playboi Carti Performs ‘I Am Music' Cuts at 2025 BET Awards
He decked out the stage at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles with two black, luxury SUVs, with one dancer getting down on top of one of the vehicles. His smoky set was black and white, with logos for his album, music itself, and his label, Opium, flashing rapidly behind him and his DJ. He, however, stood out in a colorful hoodie.

The performance comes as Carti continues his ongoing run of dates on The Weeknd's After Hours Til Dawn tour across North America. Carti released I Am Music in March, and the highly anticipated album quickly rose to the top of the charts. Known for raucous live shows, Carti was relatively mellow during his BET Awards performance, smiling and telling the crowd, 'I love y'all, I appreciate y'all,' before leaving the stage.
Carti was among a night full of performances from acts like Lil Wayne, Teyana Taylor, and more.

Days after Zach Bryan debuted the song 'Streets of London' at a concert in London, the singer has shared the studio version of the track along with two more new songs.

Watch Zach Bryan Cover Warren Zevon's 'Lawyers, Guns and Money' at Stagecoach Soon after the Hyde Park gig, Bryan hopped on social media to reveal that 'Streets of London' would be released on Monday — 'Hope u guys don't hate it, recorded it at bowies old studio across the pond with my best friends,' Bryan said — which came and went without the new song. 'Yoooo decided to put two songs out instead of just one it's gonna take an extra day!! Songs'll be out Tuesday sorry sorry sorry,' Bryan then wrote on Instagram of the delay. 'They are kind of just tunes that didn't belong on the record, and they didn't fit on an EP either, so I'm just releasing them to get them out into the world cause I love them. Hope you guys enjoy them. I love each one of ya!! even the folks who talked mad shit all year.' The tracks finally did arrive on Tuesday, but there were three new songs instead of the aforementioned two: 'Streets of London,' along with 'River Washed Hair' and 'Song for You.' 'Also only five people ever have sold out Hyde Park two nights in a row,' Bryan added. 'I have you guys to thank for it. I love you so much for showing out London. I will love your beautiful city and country forever! See you next time!' The three tracks mark Bryan's first new music since he re-released his song 'Memphis; the Blues' without John Moreland's contribution.
