It’s a legacy that was celebrated in earnest at the superstar’s ‘One Night Only’ show in London with the UK Rap icon, Giggs.

The live extravaganza was housed at the O2 Shepherd’s Bush Empire last night (November 7) and uniquely blended the power pair’s potent hit list.

Elsewhere, Giggs commanded with seasoned ease – electrifying with the likes of ‘Whippin Excursion’ and ‘Talking The Hardest.’

Together the duo also delivered the debut live showing of their collaboration ‘Mandem.’
