J Balvin Takes Billboard Behind Otherworldly Coachella Set With Will Smith | Billboard News
J Balvin shows Billboard’s Tetris Kelly the exclusive behind-the-scenes setup of his out-of-this-world Coachella set from this weekend, featuring a special guest appearance by ‘Men In Black’ star Will Smith.
J Balvin
I need Will Smith in the show. I need the ‘Men In Black.’
Tetris Kelly
From Big Willy to an alien landing and an out-of-this-world performance. You won’t believe where we are — we’re taking you behind the scenes of J Balvin’s epic Coachella set right here at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Mi gente, let’s go!
Tetris Kelly
How are you feeling heading out to the desert now?
J Balvin
Man, can’t wait to see this UFO, you know, landing in Coachella.
Tetris Kelly
How do you feel fans are gonna react?
J Balvin
I think they’re gonna go crazy, but they have no idea, no clue. Like, not even my friends, don’t come to rehearsal, nothing.
Tetris Kelly
Just come straight to the show.
J Balvin
Even my wife!
Tetris Kelly
She doesn’t know?
J Balvin
Yeah, she’s like, ‘Can I come?’ I was like, ‘Nope!’
Tetris Kelly
So I’m seeing you up in the air and all this stuff — are you nervous about that part at all?
J Balvin
When I started doing this part here, you know that goes to the UFO, I was shaking the first day, I can’t lie, because you know from this height, you fall, you’re done, right? If we go viral… but that’s not important.
Tetris Kelly
But we don’t want that, right?
