Joaquin Phoenix Raps – This Must Be a Joke

In October, Joaquin Phoenix quit acting to become a musician. So this weekend, he showed up at the swanky, $22 million nightclub Lavo at Palazzo to make his first announced concert performance. He rapped three songs after midnight Friday. Yeah. Rapped. Then he fell off a catwalk.

Phoenix said he rapped freestyle at smaller clubs, but those were surprise appearances. At one club, a DJ messed with him, and people threw ice at him.

“Are there people that are gonna say that it’s a joke? Yeah. Are there people that’s gonna say that I suck? Probably. I can’t control that. You know what I mean? I run that same (expletive) risk every movie I do. I feel like the other actors are going, ‘This dude sucks. This is a (expletive) joke.’”

But before that, he spent a surreal day at the hotel. Tourists gawked. Photographers stalked. Miss America contestants were filming in the hotel, so Phoenix found them, put on a tiara and Miss Kentucky’s sash, and posed for photos. At some other point, he pulled his shirt up to flash someone.
