AceShowbiz - Swae Lee thrilled fans when he took to Instagram Live on Friday, March 20, night for an impromptu concert by sharing his plans for a new album.
Several acts, including Shawn Mendes, Camila Cabello, and Niall Horan, are keeping fans amused during the ongoing coronavirus pandemic by streaming performances on social media, as World Health Organisation (WHO) officials advise people to practice social distancing and stay at home in a bid to prevent the spread of COVID-19.
As the Rae Sremmurd rapper took to the site with just a microphone, he jokingly thanked everyone for a "sold out venue" as he performed for more than 20,000 fans worldwide.
The virtual show lasted about 45 minutes, and Swae performed hits including "No Type", "Someone Said", and "Sunflower". He also played tracks he features on, including Jhene Aiko's "Sativa".
Joking about the unusual set-up, the star tried to keep things as authentic as possible, attempting to "crowd surf" and even bringing one fan "on stage" - as they shared screen space during the broadcast.
The star also announced the name of his new album, "Human Nature", and hinted he's hard at work finishing the project while he self-isolates amid the pandemic.
The outbreak of coronavirus has seen more than 328,000 cases of COVID-19 registered worldwide, resulting in a death toll of over 14,300, since it began in December (19).
