The star-studded concert included performances from artists Miley Cyrus, Justin Bieber and Quavo, Coldplay, Shakira, Usher, Chloe X Halle, Christine and the Queens, J Balvin, Jennifer Hudson and Yemi Alade.

 The event also featured appearances from celebrities including Antoni Porowski, Billy Porter, Charlize Theron, Chris Rock, David Beckham, Hugh Jackman, Ken Jeong, Kerry Washington, Olivia Coleman, Opal Tometi and more.

The 2020 “Global Goal: Unite for Our Future” aimed to highlight the disproportionate impact that the coronavirus pandemic has had on marginalized communities, including people of color, people living in extreme poverty, and others facing discrimination.

Nigerian singer-songwriter Yemi Alade brought Saturday night vibes with her performance of "Shekere" for the "Global Goal: Unite for Our Future" concert on June 27.

Performing with a full band and dancers, the Afropop star hit every note, all while looking fabulous in a halterneck top and shorts set with puffy sleeves.

 The "Global Goal" event intends to shed a light on communities disproportionately affected by the coronavirus pandemic. Miley Cyrus, Shakira, J Balvin, Jennifer Hudson, Coldplay, Usher, Justin Bieber and Quavo, Christine and the Queens and Chloe X Halle all took the virtual stage.
