Last week the Dubai World Cup drew in the celebs, this week we mainly had the music world to thank for our influx of celebrities as the sand dunes in particular took a bashing from the world of\u00a0rap. Chuck in a bit of acting, a sprinkling of comedy, a spot of sport and a pinch of Bollywood and you have the full package for this week.<\/p>\n

Rappers everywhere<\/h3>\n

Kylie Jenner’s rapper boyfriend\u00a0Tyga <\/strong>has been in Dubai to perform at Autism Rocks.\u00a0<\/p>\n

If your name is Tyga and you are in Dubai then there is really only one thing that you should do…go hang out with a tiger. From the look of the below, it seems that the tigers were just as happy to have their namesake over as he was to be here. Who said rappers and tigers were scary hey?<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Tyga also hung out with a\u00a0giraffe\u00a0but obviously G-Raff isn’t as cool a name for a rapper.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

We are used to seeing rappers in Cadillacs rather\u00a0than quad bikes but we all know which looks more fun.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

And we all know that Dubai is amazing, and our pal Tyga agrees.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

We didn’t just have Tyga and tigers this week…we also had Khalifa and Khalifa as Wiz came to the land of the Burj.<\/p>\n

Also performing at Autism Rocks\u00a0was the slightly smaller but infinitely more tattooed version –\u00a0\u00a0Wiz Khalifa.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Here at LD\u00a0we think we have discovered something this week. Tigers love rappers…who knew??<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

We’ve also learnt that rappers love quad biking as Wiz took on the dunes as well.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here he is ‘wizzing’ around in the desert.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

What do you call three rappers in the desert? We aren’t sure of the punchline to that gag but the rap talent in the desert increased further as\u00a0Chevy Woods\u00a0<\/strong>joined Wiz on the dunes to become our third rapper of the week.<\/p>\n

Unfortunately for my pun writing there are no photos of Wiz and the Burj but it seems like he had a great\u00a0time with the tigers and quad bikes…just don’t combine the two.<\/p>\n

Not to be out\u00a0done by Wiz,\u00a0the\u00a0Burj Khalifa also helped to raise awareness for World Autism Awareness Day by lighting up in blue on Saturday.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Well done to the Khalifa’s this week!<\/p>\n

Flo Rida<\/strong> also joined\u00a0the lineup for Autism Rocks, where\u00a0he performed, and\u00a0welcomed\u00a0us to his house. We are thinking of launching our own rap career under the name of Doo-Bye…but it just doesn’t sound as cool.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n
\n
<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

Flo also performed at Pacha and showed us how he prepares for a gig. We aren’t doctors but we’re not\u00a0sure that cigars are known to be great for the voice…but we aren’t going to argue with Mr Rida.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

<\/center><\/p>\n

Well done Dubai for showing Flo the love….keep it up and we just might get that house visit that he keeps offering us.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

DJs…<\/h3>\n


<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Avicii <\/strong>has been here performing at the World Trade Centre. He called Dubai ‘a place of human wonders’ as he Instagrammed from the top of the Burj Khalifa but he told his followers that he expected at least the same elevation from them at his show that night \u2013\u00a0tall order!\u00a0<\/p>\n

Here he\u00a0is showing that he is not afraid of going up a few ‘Levels’<\/em>\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Kevin took in the views in the desert – we don’t think he is aware that he is in acute danger of being run over by a rapper on a quad bike here!<\/p>\n<\/p>\n

Recent Six Nations Grand Slam winner Jonathan Joseph <\/strong>was in town.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Not sure his photo skills are up to scratch, but we’ve seen him on the pitch so we won’t tell him!<\/p>\n

Though not spotted here as\u00a0yet, we are well informed\u00a0that Kardashian klan momager,\u00a0Kris Jenner<\/strong>, will be in town next week for a series of meetings, appearances and a ‘very\u00a0special announcement’. Whether any of the rest of the\u00a0\u00a0Kardashians will join\u00a0her remains to be seen but watch this space for updates on her time here and what this special announcement is all about!<\/p>\n
