Tyler, The Creator Blew Away the BET Awards With ‘Lumberjack’ Performance
On June 27, Tyler, The Creator performed for the first time ever at the BET Awards with his lead single “Lumberjack.” On the BET stage, the 30-year-old rapper and musician recreated the “Lumberjack” music video with creative whirlwind effects.
In Tyler, The Creator’s performance, he started out in the backseat of a Rolls Royce, while a voice can be heard announcing, “I need you to let them know there’s going to be a windstorm.” Right after, Tyler begins performing his new track “Lumberjack,” and eventually leaves the car. Outside of the car, the rapper attempts to carry objects such as his luggage and mail, but he is blown back by strong winds during the two-minute performance. In the end, Tyler is carried away by the wind and he jumps off the screen.
