Guests enjoyed signature cocktails, finger foods while the DJ provided the vibes before artists hit the stage. Kicking things off was Justine Skye, who treated the crowd with an ear-pleasing performance of songs off her Timbaland-produced album Time & Space. Justine Skye lined up the crowd, and Saweetie backed with her dancers, knocked them down with her signature icy bars, choreography, and stunning beauty as she performed her hits like “My Type,” the Doja Cat assisted track “Best Friend,” and more.
