If you were at the Fonda Theatre on Tuesday evening, you were in for a treat as Rico Nasty closed out her LETHAL TOUR in Los Angeles.

Fans enjoyed an opening performance from Toronto’s own SadBoi, who hyped up the crowd with her songs, “Johnny” and “L’s,” and brought sexy club vibes to the already geeked #NastyMob.

The evening also included standout rage moments in the sugar trap, with Rico Nasty leading the crowd through fan favorites like “SON OF A GUN,” “SMOKE BREAK,” “Countin’ Up,” and “Tia Tamera.”

Surprise appearances included Texas alt-wonderboy Teezo Touchdown, L.A. rapper Molly Santana, and, most unexpectedly, the G.O.A.T. herself, Hayley Williams of Paramore, who joined to close out the set with everyone’s favorite song, “Smack A Bitch.”

I hope this surprise with Williams and Rico means a bigger project. Even if not, the night was an iconic moment in Los Angeles and for women in music.

Rock on, ladies.
