Geniuses are at work on Instagram Live. We haven’t watched so many live streaming concerts, contests, and celebrity Q&As in the history of social media, but this period of COVID-19 quarantine has spiced up online interactions. DJ D-Nice recently hosted multiple Instagram Live parties that reached upwards of 100K viewers including Lenny Kravitz, Justin Timberlake, Kevin Hart, and Michelle Obama. Erykah Badu, John Legend, and Keith Urban hosted live concerts from the comforts of their homes. Earlier today, Tory Lanez got a few of his famous friends on his Live before added dozens of fans who wanted to drop it low for his twerk contest. Now, Timbaland and Swizz Beatz hopped on Live to share a few beats with the world in an epic showdown.
