Lil Yachty Excited for Live Music Festival Energy Again, Talks Cardi/Nicki Beef

Lil Yachty‘s so pumped for live music festivals to make their return this summer … he’s ready to dive backflip right in.

The rapper says the absence of in-person concerts over the past year has been really tough, so just the thought of taking the stage with a packed crowd gets his blood pumping.
