DJ Khaled and Meek Mill performed their new song Weather the Storm in an actual cloud of fog at the 2019 BET Awards on Sunday. The duo, stationed atop a massive platform emblazoned with the formers We the Best slogan, made good use of the weather theme: A backdrop flashed lightning strikes and ominous clouds as Mill unfurled his flurrying rhymes.
After that dizzying verse, he and Khaled descended the platform, with the latter giving a quick shoutout to Rihanna, who was in attendance. The pair were joined by Jeremih and Lil Baby for You Stay, which (along with Weather the Storm) appears on Khaleds 11th LP, the May-issued Father of Asahd.
The DJ-producers latest album earned a polarized response: Despite lukewarm reviews, it debuted at Number Two on the Billboard 200 behind Tyler, the CreatorsIGOR. In May, Khaled teamed with Will Smith for a new hip-hop version of Friend Like Me from Disneys live-action remake ofAladdin.
