Ty Dolla $ign took the stage on Saturday night (May 14) during day two of Billboard’s inaugural MusicCon event. The singer-songwriter began his performance with his melodic hook on Megan The Stallion’s “Hot Girl Summer” which also features Nicki Minaj. From there, Ty Dolla $ign kept the crowd entertained with a handful of his own songs and features with other artists.

Attendees were able to enjoy live renditions of “Swalla” by Jason Derulo, “It’s a Vibe” by 2 Chainz, and “Psycho” by Post Malone. The chart-topping artist even pulled out an electric guitar while performing his portion of Khalid’s “OTW.” As the Smirnoff-presented concert came to an end, Ty Dolla $ign hopped off the stage and into the pit to show love to fans and take photos.
