SmackDown is set to air live from the Enterprise Center in St. Louis, MO tonight and it looks like it’s going to be a big show. Ahead of Friday Night SmackDown this week PWInsider is reporting that Lil Yachty is backstage at SmackDown. According to the report Lil Yachty will be appearing in a segment with Trick Williams.
Earlier this week Trick Williams posted a video on social media and invited Lil Yachty to SmackDown when he said, “I want to personally invite my boy. I’m talking about my day-one [from] a long time back, my HBCU brother, Lil Yachty.
I need for you to pull up to SmackDown this week. We are in St. Louis. I need for you to pull up. Let’s spice things up. Talk to these folk, man, let them know what’s going on around here. The game’s done. Grown folk talking. Pull up on me, dawg. Let’s talk about it.”
