The guest rapper, 37, who is married to Barbadian superstar Rihanna, replied: “I think it’s really cute that we’re both in our mid-30s and we’re really tired right now.”
During his set, Tyler called out yesterday’s crowd, calling them “dead”, before praising the Saturday attendees for being “turnt” as soon as he came out.
Standing in the middle of the impressive stage set-up which included a mock Tube train and station, the rapper finished by saluting the crowd and then throwing both his shoes into the audience.
The rapper also headlined on Friday when he mentioned being banned from entering the UK by former prime minister Theresa May in 2015 over controversial lyrics from his early albums, saying “thank God… Theresa May is gone” adding later “when they banned me that really changed a lot for me” and “she’s stupid and now I gotta prove she made a mistake”.
