Lil Jon's Surprise Appearance Lights Up DNC Roll Call With An Update To An Iconic Song
HuffPost
The rapper made a surprise performance right before Georgia delegates cast their votes.
Rapper Lil Jon made a surprise appearance on day two of the Democratic National Convention in Chicago when he interrupted roll call and started to perform.
When it came time for Georgia to cast their votes during the Ceremonial Roll Call of States, Lil Jon, who is from Atlanta, suddenly appeared in the crowd.
“Ladies and gentlemen, we are here tonight to officially nominate Kamala Harris for president,” Lil Jon shouted as his song “Turn Down For What” with DJ Snake played. He then started making his way down the arena’s stairs and encouraged the crowd to chant “We’re not going back!” before singing “VP Harris to the Walz,” a play on his song “Get Low,” where he sings “To window to the wall.”
Lil Jon stopped his performance so Georgia’s delegates could cast 123 votes for Harris as the Democratic nominee. As one of Georgia’s delegates expressed why they are voting for Harris, Lil Jon made his fingers into an A symbol for Atlanta.
It’s safe to assume Lil Jon’s twist of lyrics come in support of Kamala-Walz.
