Rapper Lil Wayne performs onstage at the Samsung booth at E3 Expo 2016 in Los Angeles

Lil Wayne was in high spirits when he performed a surprise show for fans at the Samsung booth at E3 Expo 2016 at the Los Angeles Convention Center. He performed snippets of 15 songs including “A Milli,” I’m Going In,” “Lollipop,” and “Truffle Butter,” to promote his mobile skateboarding game Sqvad Up. The crowd sang along to their favorites, and the production included six skateboarders who skated behind the rapper. At E3, Samsung is demoing the company’s latest technologies to provide off-the-charts immersive experiences for thrill-seeking gamers, including the most buzzed about 4D VR Chairs, where users experience what it’s like to take the dips and dives of a roller coaster in a 4D experience through a Gear VR headset.
