Saturday, December 16, marks the end of iHeartRadio’s annual Jingle Ball concert series. The show has made stops in Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, and Detroit. Later this evening, the final performance will take place in Fort Lauderdale at the Amerant Bank Arena. So, who’s on the closing lineup?

According to iHeartRadio’s official website, the acts slated to take the stage include Marshmello, AJR, Flo Rida, Ludacris, LANY, David Kushner, Uproxx cover star Kaliii, and Paul Russell. Still, there is one special musician not listed on the landing page.
Due to professional obligations, Nicki Minaj had to bow out of her headlining appearance at iHeartRadio Jingle Ball Chicago. However, she replaced her set with her longtime friend and collaborator, Lil Wayne. She then made up for her absence at Jingle Ball Atlanta. But she’s not finished with Jingle Ball just yet.
When Nicki revealed she was pulling out of Jingle Ball Chicago, she let fans know she would double back with more than one set. “I am still performing at the Atlanta Jingle Ball on the 14th,” she wrote. “And now I’ll also be performing at the Miami Jingle Ball on the 16th.”

Flo Rida’s path to creating his most successful album, Wild Ones, is a story of artistic evolution. Emerging in the mid-2000s, Flo Rida quickly made a name for himself with his debut album in 2008. It laid the foundation for his distinctive style—a fusion of hip-hop, pop, and electronic dance music.
The period leading up to the release of Wild Ones in 2012 saw Flo Rida cementing his place in the music industry. Not just as a rapper but as a versatile artist capable of crossing over into mainstream pop. His increasing collaboration with artists and producers from diverse musical backgrounds marked this transition. The album’s development reflected a clear intent to appeal to an international audience. It blended elements of EDM with Flo Rida’s rap roots to create a fresh and commercially viable sound.
Unpacking Wild Ones: A Fusion Of Genres & Global Appeal
In Wild Ones, Flo Rida crafted an album that encapsulated his signature style and pushed the boundaries of traditional hip-hop. The album stands out for seamlessly integrating rap with electronic dance music (EDM), a then-emerging genre sweeping the global music scene. This fusion is evident in tracks like “Good Feeling,” which samples Etta James. It also mixes Flo Rida’s rap verses with pulsating EDM beats, creating a nostalgic and contemporary sound.
The title track, featuring Sia, exemplifies the album’s appeal beyond the traditional rap audience. It combined Sia’s powerful vocals with Flo Rida’s energetic delivery against a backdrop of catchy, danceable production. “Whistle,” another key track, further showcases Flo Rida’s skill in creating tunes that are both rhythmically complex and widely accessible. These songs highlight the album’s core strength: its ability to transcend genre boundaries and appeal to a diverse global audience, solidifying Flo Rida’s status as a crossover artist.
A Commercial Powerhouse
Wild Ones marked a high point in Flo Rida’s career, achieving significant commercial success and reshaping industry norms. The album debuted at number 14 on the US Billboard 200 and has sold over 311,000 copies in the United States alone. Its success was amplified by its singles, particularly “Whistle” and “Good Feeling,” which topped charts globally. This success indicated a shift in the music industry, where digital sales and streaming became more dominant.
The album’s impact extended beyond its sales figures. Flo Rida’s approach, focusing on singles that resonated on a global scale, positioned him uniquely in the digital era. His success demonstrated the potential of digital platforms in propelling songs to international acclaim. This influenced how artists and record labels approached music production and distribution. In essence, Wild Ones exemplified the music industry’s transition into a more digital-centric era. It set new precedents for success and reach.
Enduring Influence In The Digital Music Era
The legacy of Flo Rida’s Wild Ones extends well beyond its initial chart success, embodying a significant shift in music consumption and production in the digital era. The album’s blend of hip-hop, pop, and EDM set a precedent for future artists, showcasing the potential of genre fusion in reaching a diverse, global audience. Its success through digital platforms like streaming services and digital downloads highlighted a new paradigm in the music industry, where digital metrics complemented the traditional measures of album sales. Today, Wild Ones remains a benchmark for artists aiming to achieve cross-genre appeal and global reach in the digital music landscape.

A shocking video shared online shows a baby crowd-surfing during rapper Flo Rida’s performance at the Celebrate Erie Festival in Pennsylvania, US on Saturday.
In the video, which was posted on X (formerly Twitter), the baby is seen being passed across the top of the crowd passed from one hand to another. Video shows Flo-rida gesturing for the baby and then grabs him as he finishes the song.Later, the baby appeared on stage with another member of the band, who held him above his head in a Lion King style as the crowd erupted into applause and cheers.
Since being posted, the video has generated mixed views from fans. While some criticised the parents for bringing a young baby to the concert, others found crowd surfing to be cute.
“Omg? Why do people feel so comfortable bringing babies to concerts? Like so many things could go wrong in such a big crowd,” one fan commented on the video.
Another pointed out that the baby’s not wearing protective headgear: “Poor baby doesn’t even have hearing protection on.”
However, others argued that the interaction could be memorable for the baby.
“So cute, the baby was like ‘yeah pass me that mic,’” commented one fan.
Another added: “Yes but also this will be the coolest documented memory of this person’s life”
Flo Rida was in for a wild ride when he performed at Erie, Pennyslvania’s CelebrateErie music festival over the weekend. During his show, a parent in the crowd put their baby up to crowdsurf — and the child eventually made its way to the musician, who was performing in the middle of the audience.
Despite the wild nature of the video and experience, Flo Rida welcomed the child with open arms. He held the toddler as he continued to perform with his microphone in the other hand.
The child was then brought onto the actual stage at some point, as he is lifted into the air while “GDFR” is blasting. According to HotNewHipHop, Flo Rida also kissed the baby and held the mic for him to try to sing, and then a fan on stage took a selfie with the child.
While it’s still unclear why or who put their baby up to be passed on stage to Flo Rida, he clearly didn’t seem to mind the interruption. And hey, the child has a truly chaotic story to tell when he gets older — just as long as he takes a pause from the audience encounters.
Check out the video of the baby crowdsurfing at Flo Rida above.
Concerts are one of the most unique atmospheres to experience. From the moshpits to singing songs word for word the artist a mere few hundred feet away, seeing the choreography and set pieces, it is a one-of-a-kind event. This most recent Flo Rida performance had all of that and then some with a baby thrown in the mix. The Carol City, Florida-born rapper made his appearance at a music festival in Erie, Pennsylvania called CelebrateErie, which was three days.
Flo Rida was the second show on August 19 and he had the crowd rocking. In the YouTube video below you can see everyone having a great time with the hitmaker having fun with his set. However, what follows is something quite hysterical but also nerve-racking at the same time. A baby is being crowd-surfed with the mother starting the whole thing. The child eventually makes it to Flo Rida and he does something no one has probably seen.
The big teddy bear puts his mic down, gently holds the baby, then kisses it on the forehead and continues to perform. At one point, Flo Rida even holds the microphone to the kid’s mouth to sing along. Later on, another fan came and joined Flo Rida on stage and held the infant, then took a selfie with them. It is a wild moment for sure and one that had commenters questioning the parenting skills saying, “Concerts are way too loud for a baby,” on Reddit.
What are your thoughts on these parents crowd-surfing their baby at Flo Rida’s concert? Do you think the parents should have left the child at home with a family member or babysitter? Did Flo Rida handle the situation the right way? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave all of your thoughts and opinions in the comments section below.

Last month it was revealed that rapper Flo Rida had been refusing to pay child support for his disabled 6-year-old son, after the child fell from a five story window. After a very public response from the child’s mother, the support case has been settled.
Senior Correspondent at The Insider reports: “Low” and “Good Feeling” rapper Flo Rida was in Bronx Family Court today for a support hearing with his ex, Alexis Adams. He agreed to a package for his disabled only child, Zohar, 6, that could cost him nearly $500K a year, then left after a brief stop at a Sheridan Street deli.

Flo Rida has had a string of trials and tribulations these past few months. In March, his 6-year-old son Zohar accidentally fell out of a 5-story apartment building. The 50-foot fall caused tragic injuries for the young child. According to Flo Rida’s ex-wife, Alexis Adams, Zohar suffered, “a shattered pelvis, left metatarsal fractures, Grade 3 liver laceration, internal bleeding and collapsed lungs.” Not only that, she filed a lawsuit against Pitch Perfect 74, LLC, Goldberg Management – the landlord that owns the complex where her child nearly lost his life. Since then, Adams has also called out Flo Rida who is reportedly refusing to pay Zohar’s medical bills.
Moreover, Flo Rida was reportedly ordered to pay for their disabled child’s medical bills and wellness in a 2018 court-mandated child support agreement. However, The “Get Low” rapper is seemingly evading his fatherly duties at this time. His son, Zohar, has autism and has a rare condition called hydrocephalus. Furthermore, Flo-Rida posted a sentiment regarding his son on his Instagram saying, “I am just so grateful that my son is alive, fighting, and is still here with me. He’s a real-life superhero.”
Flo Rida Wants To Appear In Court Through Zoom

In the wake of their son’s tragic accident, Flo Rida is still giving pushback. The “Good Feeling” rapper failed to appear in NYC Family Court Tuesday, instead opting to attend through Zoom. Safe to say the judge was less than thrilled. While Flo Rida was ordered to pay for 100% of Zohar’s medical bills, that has not been the case. Recently, Flo was awarded over $80 million in an energy drink lawsuit. However, Alexis requested the judge order the rapper to put $400,000 in a bank account to help pay for various expenses for their son.
Although his ex-wife was able to plead her case, the judge was not trying to hear what the Florida rapper had to say. The judge declined Flo’s motion to appear via Zoom. Alexis’s attorney Dror Bikel told TMZ, that while the rapper was enjoying 80 mil his son was on Medicaid (Wild). His ex-wife claims that Flo Rida has never met his son Zohar. She also says his social media post regarding his son getting “the best medical care” is all for show. What do you think about all this? Let us know in the comments below.
