Kehlani’s self-titled world tour landed at Inglewood’s Intuit Dome on Sept. 24, and the night quickly turned into one of the most stacked shows of the year. Brandy walked out as a surprise guest and the two performed their duet“I Need You”live for the first time. Usher followed, performing“Shoulda Never”and serenading Kehlani during“Superstar.”BJ The Chicago Kid and Vic Mensa also hit the stage, turning the night into a full-on R&B summit.
The setlist gave fans everything. New songs like“Anotha Luva”sat next to classics like“Toxic,”plus interpolations of Aaliyah, Janet Jackson, Mýa, Ne-Yo, and Brandy. Kehlani even powered through technical difficulties without missing a step. Coming off her first Grammy wins, the show felt like a victory lap for the Oakland native, with legends lining up to celebrate her.
The most emotional moment came at the end. Kehlani brought out her 7-year-old daughter Adeya for the closing performance of“Folded,”and when critics chimed in online, Kehlani defended her daughter without hesitation. It was the kind of full-circle moment that made the whole night unforgettable.
