Wale helped a fan pull off a moment he’ll never forget during his Under A Blue Moon Tour stop in Chicago on Monday (January 31).
Folarin welcomed a couple on to the stage with him, where the guy proceeded to get down on one knee and pop the question to his girlfriend. Fittingly, the moment was followed by Wale’s marriage-themed “The Matrimony” being played throughout the venue with a ring on the woman’s finger and the DMV native orchestrating the choir.
The fan’s proposal was captured by Devin Fonrose, showing the crowd giving their approval once they realized what was going on. The intimate footage quickly went viral on social media on Tuesday (February 1).

While Folarin’s North American tour marches on, don’t expect Wale to take the stage at the Broccoli City Festival in his hometown of Washington, D.C. The “No Hands” rapper was named as a performer on the bill for the first time in his career, but he quickly pulled out.

Taking to Twitter on Wednesday (February 2), Wale elaborated on his decision and claimed a booking agent agreed to the festival appearance without consulting him.
“Since BC fest started I’ve never been asked to perform. I actually asked to one time but it didn’t happen. The game is the game. I didn’t trip,” he wrote. “When I was in nigeria in December somebody in booking agreed to somethin EYE did not agree to. Failure in communication.”
I have no issue with BC or anybody . Some folks jumped the gun and “agreed for me” . I’m not interested in throwin anybody under the bus . This happens all the time in this business .Everybody that knows no knows that I’d perform on that joint at 5 am if that’s what’s in contract
