Joke rap star Lil Dicky is heading to Auckland for a one-off show in July.

Lil Dicky, whose real name is David Andrew Burd, will perform at The Powerstation on July 11.

The 30-year-old Pennsylvania rapper scored a major hit with Chris Brown earlier this year thanks to Freaky Friday, a song which imagines the two rappers swapping bodies.

The video for Freaky Friday, which features Ed Sheeran, Kendall Jenner and DJ Khalid, has nearly had 80 million views since being released two weeks ago.

Other hits include Professional Rapper with Snoop Dogg, and Molly with Brendan Urie.

Tickets for his show go on sale at midday on April 9.
