Justin Timberlake returned to the stage Saturday night as a surprise guest during Don Toliver’s concert at Kaseya Center in Miami, Florida.
As part of Toliver’s Octane World Tour, the rapper surprised the Miami crowd on August 22 by bringing Justin out on stage to perform their connection to two songs: Justin’s 2003 hit “Rock Your Body” and Toliver’s own song “Body,” which samples the Justified classic. 🎤🎶🔥
Justin shared a video of himself watching the show from the crowd, giving fans a glimpse of his night out before he was brought on stage.
Justin and Don first connected musically earlier this year when Toliver sampled “Rock Your Body” for “Body,” his third single from his album OCTANE. The two songs coming together on stage in Miami made for a special full-circle moment.

Toliver has been open about his admiration for Justin and his music. During an interview with Billboard at SXSW in March, Toliver discussed “Body” and explained that he grew up listening to Justin thanks to his mother.
“Honestly, I love Justin Timberlake a lot. My mom played him, Pharrell and Outkast and all these crazy great artists when I was growing up as a kid in the car,” Toliver said. “I got a lot of fond memories of that. Justin Timberlake is always one of my favorites. Justified, that album is literally in my top 10 favorite albums of all time.”
He added that hearing the two songs together felt particularly meaningful to him, saying, “‘Rock Your Body’ is one of those songs that triggers an endorphin in my body. To put those two together was so iconic for me.”
This was a fun surprise for Miami fans — and a pretty perfect way to bring Justin and Don Toliver’s musical connection full circle. ❤️
