Fetty Wap took the stage at a new venue on Sunday evening (November 8) in Nashville, Tennessee, and he reunited with country star Russell Dickerson.
Fetty Wap, who also announced he got married over the weekend, headlined a show at The Truth, a 4,400-capacity space that recently opened in Music City. The show was part of his headlining “Nostalgia Tour.” Fetty Wap, whose real name is Willie Junior Maxwell II, surprised the audience with Dickerson, 39, who appeared in a clip on The Truth’s Instagram account on Sunday night, hailing the genre-blending artists “our favorite duo.” See the clip here:
Dickerson, who is expecting Baby No. 3 with wife Kailey Dickerson, brought Fetty Wap on stage as a surprise guest during his performance at Nissan Stadium at the Country Music Association’s CMA Fest in June. The “Happen To Me” hitmaker said at the time, “for the first time in CMA Fest history… Fetty Wap!” Fetty Wap celebrated his 35th birthday that night. Thousands of fans in the stadium sang “Happy Birthday” to the rapper, who performed his hit single, “Trap Queen.” He and Dickerson also teamed up on their viral collab, “Boots,” as they made CMA Fest history.
“I’ve been a Fetty Wap fan since the beginning and his music has influenced mine probably more than I even know,” Dickerson said in a statement in a press release earlier this year. “So to have a song coming out with one of my biggest modern musical influences is one of the best feelings and what I think music is all about, creating something special with artists you love.”
Fetty Wap added in a statement of his own, “working with Russell on this record was easy. Nothing felt forced. It was just good energy and a real natural vibe. I always been the type of artist that can tap into different sounds, and Russell got that same type of range, so it came together organic. It’s one of them records you can just ride to, feel good to, and play all summer.”
