What’s different about Birthday Bash 18? This year was challenging because a lot of artists decided to do tours this summer.
What’s exciting this year? I’m really excited about 2 Chainz and B.o.B. B.o.B. is a huge crossover artist who puts on an amazing show and 2 Chainz who chose us over his national tour date with Lil Wayne and T.I., promised me he was going to do Birthday Bash, so I want to give a huge shout out to his people, Street Executives. I’m just as excited for this one as the first one I attended.
Birthday Bash pet peeve: Large entourages on stage
Favorite fan moment: Looking into the audiences eyes and seeing how much of a frenzy they go into after hearing their favorite hits.
