Singer and songwriter Jason Derulo gave his fans an exclusive tour of his hotel room in Israel ahead of his performance at the Coca Cola WOW Festival in Rishon Lezion on Wednesday.
The “Talk Dirty” singer, 28, posted a video on his Instagram account of him showing off his presidential suite in Tel Aviv that overlooks the city’s beach. In the clip he also takes a shot of Arak, a traditional anise-flavored alcoholic beverage drank in the Middle East. Derulo called Arak “Israeli vodka” and described it as “spicy” after taking a sip of the drink. The performer also appears semi-nude at the end of the video.
At his concert in Rishon Lezion on Wednesday night, Derulo shouted at the cheering crowd “Shalom shalom!” and told them, “I’ve been here once before and it was magical. So when I heard I had the opportunity to come back, I promise I was so excited.” He then told the crowd “Yerushalayim shel zahav.” He was later joined on stage by Israeli pop duo Static and Ben-El.
Derulo was last in Israel in 2016.
