He paired it with a crisp shirt by Saint Laurent and shoes from the house of Louis Vuitton.
“It feels surreal to be at the Grammy’s in presence of some of the best in the world! I want to give a big shout out to my brother Nas for always believing in the Indian hip hop scene that is picking up fast on the world stage,” shared the Mumbai based musician who is the first Indian rapper to be featured on Spotify Times Square Billboard in New York City.
