Nas went from a King of New York to an Emperor in Miami this weekend — the guy headlined a banger of a show to round out the Formula 1 event in town … and killed it.
The rapper took the stage Sunday at Carbone Beach, where the whole joint went on a trip down memory lane to some of his early hits in the ’90s … including a ton of ‘Illmatic’ tracks that the crowd was vibing to in what appears to have been a pretty intimate setting.

Speaking of that audience … it was about as star-studded as they come. Some of the A-listers in attendance — DJ Khaled, Venus Williams, Jamie Foxx, Hailee Steinfeld, Brooklyn Beckham and Nicola Peltz, Busta Rhymes, Lindsey Vonn, Kevin Love, LeBron James, Rich Paul, Maverick Carter, Meek Mill, Timbaland, and Karrueche Tran … among others.
Nas himself played to the spectators throughout his set, all while holding some sort of beverage in his hand. Looks like it was a boozy affair — just about everyone seemed to have a cocktail to themselves.

Definitely a great way to end the week, and Nas’s performance is right up there with Travis Scott’s show from Saturday night … where the guy rocked the mic in full capacity, the first since he’s done a show like that since Astroworld.
If there was any question about it before, it’s answered now … Miami was the place to be.
