Once the discussion wrapped up, Janelle Monáe used a Galaxy Note9 to take an epic selfie with the guests in the building utilizing the upgraded S Pen. Once that was done Monáe took over the stage and put on an epic mini-concert.
She performed fan favorite cuts such as “Django Jane” off her latest album Dirty Computer as well as classic tracks like “Tightrope,” off her The ArchAndroid album and “PrimeTime” which lived on her Electric Lady album.
