Head in the Clouds by 88Rising is a one-of-a-kind music festival featuring top Asian diaspora artists. Since 2018, it has been dubbed as the “Asian Coachella” and has become one of the most famous Asian music events.
Fans anticipate a Jessi x Jackson collaboration stage at the upcoming Manila concert.
Jebbies (fandom name) couldn’t keep his cool when it was revealed that Jessi would be performing at HITC in Manila. They expressed their excitement on Twitter about her inclusion in the lineup, but they were even more excited about the fact that she will be reuniting with Jackson at the festival. The majority of them hoped that the two singers would reunite to recreate their iconic NUNU NANA performance. The duo performed the song at the KBS Song Festival in 2020, and fans were blown away by their intense chemistry.
Following their performance, the NUNU NANA singer, who Jackson is said to be “good friends” with, publicly thanked him on Instagram. Her post stated:
“You knocked it out of the park tonight, Jackson baby.”
Jackson’s response was:
“That’s why I call you nununana.”
Jessi has reached yet another milestone with NUNU NANA.
Jessi’s viral hit song NUNU NANA recently surpassed 100 million Spotify streams. The song debuted in 2020 and reached this milestone in two years, three months, and two weeks. This is the rapper’s second song to break the record, following ZOOM on November 1, 2022.
Previously, the music video surpassed 100 million views on YouTube, making it the artist’s first music video to do so. The catchy hook and cool dance moves of the song propelled it to No. 2 on the Gaon digital chart, a career-high for the singer. Many dubbed the song “Jessi’s breakout hit” after it became an online sensation.
