DJs are always doing the most during their sets. As for Steve Aoki? He’s levelled up his performance by not only announcing that his wife is pregnant but also the gender of his baby mid rave!
The American EDM legend jumped on Instagram with a both hilarious and emotional reel of him bringing his wife, Sasha Sofine, up onto the stage during his set at Barasti Beach in Dubai.
This is a special moment…we’re having a baby
After the crowd erupts into a cheer of support Aoki then tells the audience that they will now be finding out if it’s a boy or a girl. Cake is brought up from behind and smashed into Aoki's face by Sofine. With blue frosting covering the DJs face, a message of “it’s a boy!!” is plastered over the LED screens along with blue confetti and smoke.
It’s a boy,
Aoki says to the camera.
We have a little boy!
Heaps of congrats were flying through the comment section, even from the likes of Tiesto who wrote:
Wowwww Congrats brother!!! So happy for y’all!! 💙💙💙
Another angle was filmed from the crowd, captioned: “lucky to catch this special moment on camera 🫶🏼💙” shows the special moment in action.
Aoki oddly has a habit of smashing cakes at his gigs. The novelty cake launch into the crowd has been his thing for years. After being inspired to recreate the music video ‘Turn Up The Volume’ by artist Autoerotique, Aoki fell in love with how cinematic cakes looks when exploding. Wild right?
What an epic way to announce the next chapter in his life. I can tell there would have been a few tears of joy in that crowd. Such wholesome scenes!
