Miley Cyrus and co-host Pete Davidson RAP own rendition of Will Smith’s Miami during NYE special

Miley Cyrus and co-host Pete Davidson got the crowd pumped up as they opened Miley Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve Party, which is currently being streamed live from Miami, Florida on NBC.

The 29-year-old Hannah Montana alum and the 28-year-old funnyman put their rap skills to the rest while performing their own hilarious rendition of Will Smith’s hit single Miami.

The dynamic duo gave multiple nods to their mutual love of marijuana, joked about strict FCC guidelines around ‘cursing’, and and playfully bickered over who’s the true ‘star of the show.’

Miley flashed her enviably toned tummy in a barely-there metallic tube top and a glitzy beaded skirt.

She gave her look some funky Miami flair by throwing on a rainbow fur coat. She slipped her feet into a pair of strappy heels to stomp around the stage with Davidson.

Cyrus’ bleach blonde hair was blown out and she highlighted her large blue peepers with a pale eyeshadow look and dramatic winged eyeliner.

The Plastic Hearts singer gave herself a boost in a pair of glittery silver platform shoes with ankle straps.

Pete rocked a pair of shades and put on his most Miami-approved getup consisting of a highly patterned button-up shirt and trousers.

The SNL star kept his newly shaved head concealed beneath a ball cap as he spoke directly to the audience with Cyrus by his side.

Once the jovial hosts wrapped up their opening number, they eagerly welcomed the night’s first guest act to the stage, Saweetie.

The 28-year-old rapper performed her hit song TAP IN while rocking a figure-hugging bodysuit and a semi-sheer green sarong.

She was later joined on stage by Brazilian pop songstress Anitta to perform their collaborative track Faking Love.

The star-studded special will feature a number of performances from Cyrus, as well as the likes of her little sister Noah Cyrus, rapper Jack Harlow, country songstress Brandi Carlile and more. 

The 'Basket Case' hitmaker tweeted: 'After the holiday I found out I was exposed to COVID. I've tested negative but, I have made the decision not to travel to Miami for New Year's Eve Party out of caution.

Just hours before Miley Cyrus’ New Year’s Eve Party kicked off it was revealed that musical guest Billie Joe Armstrong was forced to axe his appearance, ‘out of caution’, after he came into contact with someone with coronavirus.

‘Happy New Year and hope everyone stays safe!’ 

Miley and Pete’s star-studded show replaced Carson Daly’s annual New Year’s Eve special.

The network also promised more surprise guests will appear on the show, which will air live from Miami from 10.30pm.

News of the A-list special was announced last month. 

Jen Neal, the executive vice president of live events, specials and E! News at NBCUniversal, said in a statement: ‘In what is sure to be an exciting and fun evening, we are looking forward to partnering with Lorne Michaels and ringing in 2022 with a night of incredible entertainment, led by Miley and Pete.’ 

The TV special is being directed by Joe DeMaio and Hopetown Entertainment – Miley and her mom Tish’s production company – will produce the project. Saturday Night Live creator Lorne Michaels is the executive producer. 

Meanwhile, the hosts revealed earlier this month they used to have matching tattoos but the SNL star secretly had his removed.

The pair had appeared in a sketch on SNL in 2017 as rapping babies, which ended with them saying the words, ‘We babies’. 

Miley said: ‘We were dressed as babies, everything seemed fun and fine. For some reason, we looked at each other and were like, ‘That’s a great tattoo… we’re doing this.’ 

Pete added: ‘And then we did…And then I burned mine off, and you still have yours.’ 

The Wrecking Ball singer only realized Pete had had his removed when she saw him beginning the process in an advert. 

She said: ‘He’s drinking Smartwater and getting his tattoos lasered off… and I’m like, ‘Wait a minute. That’s right where ‘we babies’ was.’ Pete quipped: ‘It’s no babies.’
