R. Kelly, Shakira, Black Eyed Peas Headline World Cup Concert

For R. Kelly, creating the hit song for the Hollywood classic Space Jam was not enough, so he set his sights on the World Cup in South Africa.

The 43-year-old singer performed before the opening match on Friday morning (stateside), letting everyone know what the sound of victory is. It’s no “I Believe I Can Fly,” but it’ll do.

The performance comes a day after R. Kelly helped usher in the tournament with fellow performers Shakira, John Legend, Fergie and more. Check out some photos from the event below.
