With Flo Rida being the one hosting, this party was definitely a lot of fun
On June 1, iHeartRadio teamed up with Pepsi to host a high energy yacht party and music performances aboard The Hornblower Infinity to kick off the summer. The night started off with guests boarding the ship, having access to tasty food ranging from steak with a fresh chimichurri sauce to an assorted cheese platter and a widely stocked open bar. As the guests mingled and enjoyed the ambiance, music was playing, featuring some of the hottest tracks. Around 7 p.m. the yacht left the dock to cruise around the island of Manhattan. This is when the party really started. Guests were asked to come towards the stage.
The first performer of the night was Jeremih, performing some of his hit songs like “Somebody,” “Birthday Sex,” “Don’t Tell ‘Em,” and “Down on Me.” As soon as Jeremih’s name was announced to come on stage, it was evident that there were hardcore Jeremih fans in the audience based off of the intense screams we heard. Jeremih was great. He moved around on stage and had the audience fill in the words to a lot of his songs. Once Jeremih finished his last song, iHeartRadio and Power 105.1’s DJ Prostyle took the stage. DJ Prostyle pumped up the crowd with a lot of high energy songs.
Next to take the stage was Prince Royce who serenaded the crowd with his crossover ballad “Stuck on a Feeling.” The audience, especially all the girls, fawned over Prince Royce’s charm and that become extremely clear when Prince Royce started to hand out roses to a select number of lucky ladies in the audience. After his performance was done, guests were left to relax a little bit before the headliner of the party, Flo Rida, comes on stage. Soon, Flo Rida made his grand entrance followed by two female dancers to back him up with his performance. Flo started off his performance with his hit song “Good Feeling.” Next he had the audience to put their “hands in the ayer.” Following that he rapped more of his hit songs which included “Where Them Girls At,” “Low,” and “Club Can’t Handle Me.” What was special about this night was that after performing those songs he performed the first live performance of his song “Tonight Belongs to U” alongside Jeremih. Flo then performed “I Don’t Like It, I Love It,” “Whistle,” “Red Cup,” “G.D.F.R.,” and “Wild Ones,” to finish off the night. Needless to say, the iHeartRadio and Pepsi Yacht Party was a fantastic way to kick off the start of the summer. Guests got to enjoy great drinks, tasty food, and a once in a lifetime performance by three amazing and talented musical performers.
