Following an introduction by Trevor Noah, the seasoned performer started his ground-shaking performance with 'Dead Right Now' backed by a line of drummers, reports Variety.
A slew of tall screens displaying the many controversial tweets sparked by the 'Montero' ('Call Me by Your Name') music video ushered the rapper into his next song.
Decorated in diamonds, Nas belted the track in front of a massive-sized bust of his own head. Shortly after, Jack Harlow joined him on stage for a high-energy, marching band-inspired performance of their collaborative hit single 'Industry Baby'.
Nas' and his breakout single 'Montero' ('Call Me by Your Name') are both up for three of the big four categories this year: record of the year, album of the year and song of the year.
The Tanu Muino-directed video for 'Montero' ('Call Me by Your Name') also earned a nomination for best music video.
With five nominations under his belt, Nas becomes the first artist out of Atlanta to be nominated in the big categories since Outkast.
