“No shirt, no shades!” shouts a middle-aged female as rapper Flo Rida takes the stage at the Today Show concert series Friday morning.
Flo, 30, was donning his signature look: a pair of shiny, oversized sunglasses, a patched-up gray muscle tee and facial hair so impeccably manicured it could make Orlando Bloom weep. If you didn’t recognize him as a multi-platinum rapper, you might think the dude was a professional wrestler.
But the crowd wanted it all off.
“You have the best abs in Hollywood!” a teenage girl in the front row chimed in.
Appearances aside, Flo Rida knows how to capture a crowd. After performing a fist-fueled “Low,” the song Matt Lauer claimed “took [Flo] around the world,” and a version of “Right Round” that had his parents beaming (bottom photo), Flo ripped through his newest hit “Jump,” sans Nelly Furtado.
Check out a clip of the action, which includes a hilarious dance by Flo, below.
