Aside from his acting career, Vin Diesel is a good rapper. The 49-year-old actor made a surprise appearance at the 2017 Billboard Latin Music Awards on Thursday night, April 27 to join Nicky Jam on the stage to perform the Latino singer's "El Ganador".
While he was performing his single, Nicky said in Spanish, "Now I'm making movies with Vin Diesel." The audience suddenly burst with excitement as they all screamed when Vin came out on the stage with a mic in his hand. "The Fate of the Furious" star, who donned a grey tank-top and white jeans, was clearly enjoying his performance as he showed off some dance moves while tackling his verse with his bass voice.
Nicky, who starred alongside Vin in "XXX: Return of Xander Cage", previously hinted at his collaboration with the actor in an interview with E! News. "This last week we began to record a song. The thing is that Vin wants to do Spanish music," the "Hasta el Amanecer" singer said. "He loves Spanish music. We just did a hook this past week and it was very simple. I think people will love it." No further details were given about the song title and the release date, though.
It's not the first time Vin has ventured into music. The father-of-three was previously featured on Selena Gomez and Kygo's collaborative track, "It Ain't Me". He also surprised fans with a video of himself covering Rihanna's "Stay", which went viral in 2013.
