Justin Timberlake reveals baby’s gender during Baku Concert, sparks cheers from thousands

American pop star Justin Timberlake made an emotional surprise during his debut performance in Azerbaijan on Sunday by revealing the gender of a fan’s baby in front of a packed crowd.

During the concert at Baku Olympic Stadium, part of Timberlake’s global Forget Tomorrow tour, the singer noticed a sign in the crowd asking him to reveal the gender of an expectant couple’s child. 

Timberlake called for the envelope holding the news, opened it on stage, and announced with a smile, “It’s a boy!”.

The audience erupted in applause and cheers, with fans celebrating the moment alongside the couple.

After the announcement, Timberlake encouraged the crowd to keep the energy high and resumed the show, which marked his first performance in the country.

The concert attracted significant international attention, drawing around 25,000 foreign tourists to Azerbaijan.

Held at the capital’s largest venue, built to host the 2015 European Games, the event highlighted the growing appeal of Azerbaijan as a destination for major global acts.

Timberlake’s visit and the touching gender reveal moment underscored both the emotional power of live music and its broader economic significance for host countries.
