Will Smith brought the soccer tournament to an exciting close on Sunday with a performance of his song “Live It Up!” The rapper/actor was joined onstage by Puerto Rican-born performer Nicky Jam and Albanian singer Era Istrefi.
The trio performed as huge screens projected pictures of various soccer players and the colors of the Croatian and French flags in the background.
During one section of the upbeat 15-minute long performance, past World Cup winner Ronaldinho came onstage and rocked out on an African drum.
Before Nicky and Will headed out onstage, Will shared a video of the duo dancing on Instagram. Will busted out his rendition of the now viral “shoot dance."
