AceShowbiz - The celebrated artists Wale and Miguel reunited for a rare live performance of their hit song Lotus Flower Bomb over the weekend, marking the 15th anniversary of the track’s release.

On the evening of October 17, 2026, Miguel made a surprise appearance as a special guest during the first of two shows by Wale at Los Angeles’ Blue Note venue. These concerts were staged in support of Wale’s 2025 album everything is a lot. Fans were treated not only to new material but also to nostalgic moments like this standout collaboration.

Accompanied by a live band, the duo breathed new life into Lotus Flower Bomb, a fan-favorite that has rarely been performed live together since its original release. This performance was particularly special considering the artists have only performed the song together about twice prior to this event.

Wale shared the excitement on social media the following day by reposting fan videos from the show and describing the night as a memorable experience. The track originally debuted on October 11, 2011, as part of Wale’s sophomore album Ambition, and at the time became his highest-charting single as a lead artist, reaching No. 38 on the Billboard Hot 100.

While Lotus Flower Bomb held this peak until 2013 when Wale’s "Bad" climbed to No. 21, it remains one of his most beloved songs. The pair previously performed the song together on Late Night With Jimmy Fallon in 2012, and later reunited for a live rendition at the Landmark Music Festival in Washington, D.C., in 2015.

This recent performance marked the first time fans witnessed the collaboration live in over a decade, further cementing the track’s enduring appeal and the unique chemistry between Wale and Miguel.

Fans can look forward to more from Wale as he continues to promote his latest album and deliver memorable live experiences that blend both new and classic hits.
