I was sandwiched in between people. I could barely see. But I was still rapping, going crazy." "It was already packed when I went onstage," she says."Being an opening act can be tough sometimes, but this was a great crowd. I was super excited when I got the call to open for him because I was, and still am, a fan of his music. The entire night was great energy. It's still one of my favorite shows to date."
