Jennie Taps New Bestie Kali Uchis to Perform ‘Damn Right’ at Coachella
The Colombian singer was featured on Jennie’s recently released LP
Jennie revved up Coachella‘s Outdoor Theatre with a supercharged performance on Sunday night. The K-pop star’s performance even included a surprise guest appearance from her new bestie, and collaborator, Kali Uchis.
Jennie ripped through her solo catalog, including her hit singles “Solo” and “You & Me.” The singer also showcased tracks from her solo debut LP Ruby, which she released in March. Near the end of the set, Uchis appeared in a gorgeous fitted dress in the same wine, red color scheme of Jennie and her dancers.
While the track also features a verse from Childish Gambino, the rapper didn’t join the pair on the Coachella stage. Instead, Jennie and Uchis put their honeyed vocals on display as they traded the R&B-inspired verses.
The last time Jennie took the Coachella stage was with Blackpink in 2023. With their performance, Blackpink made history as the first K-pop group, and first girl group, to headline the festival. In March, Uchis reminded the 2025 Billboard Women in Music audience of this fact when she presented Jennie with the Global Force Award at the event. “It’s a big deal,” she said as the crowd roared at Blackpink’s achievement. Uchis also took the oppurtunity to thank Jennie for inviting her to collaborate on Ruby. Now, the moment has come full circle for Uchis and Jennie as their Coachella performance marked the first time the pair sang “Damn” together live.
