Watch for Waka Flocka's return to Kroger Field for the 2025 season finale
As we count down to the college football season, there is a situation to monitor in Lexington around that mid-November game against Tennessee Tech. The Wildcats host the FCS opponent in the 2025 finale at Kroger Field on November 15, before closing out the season at Vanderbilt and at Louisville. Kickoff against the Golden Eagles is scheduled for 1:30 p.m. Coincidentally, Waka Flocka Flame has a concert in Lexington on November 15, the night following Kentucky versus Tennessee Tech. The 'Grove St. Party' singer takes the stage at Manchester Music Hall at 9 p.m., billed as an after-party to the football game across town. Connecting the dots here, UK Athletics may already have Waka Flocka booked for the football game. If not, it should. After all, he sings the team's unofficial anthem, and the last time he was in town, Kentucky beat Florida in Lexington for the first time since 1986. He was on the sideline for Trevin Wallace's kick-six touchdown. Kentucky shouldn't need Waka Flocka's magic to handle its business against Tennessee Tech. Still, keep an eye on that game for a potential Waka Flocka sighting. Kroger Field went nuts the last time he stopped in. [Waka Flocka Flame rushed the field after Kentucky beat Florida] 'I felt like a Wildcat.' Though he hails from Georgia, Waka Flocka Flame claims Big Blue Nation ever since Kentucky adopted his hit song during the South Carolina game in 2014. He told SEC Network, 'I felt like I grew up in Kentucky, the way the love was, the energy was and how everybody gravitated with each other. It felt like we were in the NFL. I felt like that was the Super Bowl. It was amazing.'

Soulja Boy & Bow Wow Return to SeaWorld & Perform the Hits
Soulja Boy and Bow Wow made their triumphant return to SeaWorld. A year after a viral performance at the same sea-centric facility, the two rappers went back down to Southern California for a July 12 show at SeaWorld San Diego's 2025 Summer Spectacular Concert Series, where they performed songs like 'Donk,' 'Pretty Boy Swag,' 'Crank That (Soulja Boy),' and 'Use Me' in front of an energetic crowd. Watch a clip from the performance below.

And they aren't the only acts that are touching that SeaWorld stage. Every Saturday from June 21 to August 23, numerous rap, hip-hop and R&B artists are set to perform. Names like Fat Joe, Waka Flocka Flame, Trina, and Ginuwine will all be making appearances. The concert series will also double as a tour stop for the I Love the 90s Tour and The Turn Up Tour where Color Me Badd, Rob Base, Treach of Naughty by Nature, Young MC, Petey Pablo, Paul Wall, J-Kwon, and Bubba Sparxxx will also be performing. The two teenage stars had a falling out after Soulja Boy made a video in 2008 saying that Nas killed hip-hop a couple years after the legendary Queens rapper released his eighth solo album Hip-Hop Is Dead. 'The n—a who killed hip-hop for real, is Nas. He came out publicly and said, 'hip-hop is dead,'' Soulja Boy explained in the video. 'And after that, everybody started saying hip-hop is dead. If Nas would've never said 'hip-hop is dead,' then motherf–kers would've never thought it had died.' Bow Wow publicly distanced himself from Soulja's comments and the two would continue to go back and forth until they squashed their beef around 2016 when they released the joint mixtape Ignorant Sh—t.
