Dominic Fike Debuts “AI” At Gov Ball, Challenges Fans To Knock Him Out If They Run Into Him

Singer-songwriter and Euphoria season-two star Dominic Fike is currently having a big career moment, thanks in part to his 2018 song "Babydoll" going TikTok-viral and shooting up the Hot 100. Over the weekend, Fike played New York's Governors Ball festival. During his set, he debuted a new song called "AI," promising the crowd, "It's not what you think." The song, it turns out, is a lightly funky reminisce, and the title is an Allen Iverson reference: "Nappy cornrows with them baggy jean shorts, had you looking like AI." Watch below.

During his set, Fike made a strange decision. He told the audience to knock him out if they see him: "If you see me outside, see if you could knock me out. On God! If you see me in the streets of New York, try to knock me out!" We don't know if anyone took him up on it, but I would've hated to be a guy who kind of looks like Dominic Fike at Gov Ball.

Fike also stripped down to his boxers at the end of his set. This young man is making a lot of decisions out there.
