Kendrick Lamar made his BRIT Awards debut with a surprise performance at tonight’s big bash.

The ‘HUMBLE.’ rapper took a night off from his sold-out UK tour to shock everyone with a fiery rendition of 'FEEL.' and Rich The Kid’s ’New Freezer’.

Confused? As are we but when it’s Kendrick Lamar you don’t ask questions, you just bask in his glory.

The glitchy performance seemed to begin with technical difficulties, however halfway through the screen showed “This Is Another Satire by Kendrick Lamar” so we think he was just having a laugh with us all.

He performed 'FEEL.' from his brilliant fourth album DAMN. before being joined by Rich The Kid to perform their collaboration 'New Freezer', to the surprise of many.

Kendrick is featured on the track, which originally dropped last September, however many were surprised that he chose to spotlight that specific track for this major performance.

Unfortunately most of the performance was muted by ITV, although we were still entertained by the bits we did manage to hear. It is a banger after all.

Before taking to the stage, Kendrick won his first ever BRIT Award as he won International Male Solo Artist after a blockbuster year in his career.

Congratulations, king!
