Two seasons ago, the Kentucky Wildcats hosted Waka Flocka Flame for their home game vs Florida.
For those who may not know, Waka is the rapper whose song ‘Grove Street Party’ which released in 2009. In 2014 the song blared over the speakers at then-Commonwealth Stadium after a Kentucky touchdown, getting ready to kick off back to South Carolina.
From then, a tradition was born simply out of coincidence, the best type of tradition.
Seven years after the song first garnered momentum with the UK fanbase and football program, Wake walked out the UK football team for their game against Florida and ultimately stormed the field with the fans after Kentucky beat Florida in Lexington for the first time in over 30 years.
