Kings Of Memphis Yo Gotti and DJ Paul Perform Together for First Time

For the third year in a row, Yo Gotti delivered the biggest Hip-Hop moments his hometown of Memphis is likely to see this year with Sunday's Yo Gotti and Friends Birthday Bash. As in previous years, the concert featured a bevy of surprise guests in addition to the scheduled performances by Dej Loaf, Rich Homie Quan and Boosie Badazz.

Perhaps the greatest moment for the city of Memphis was when Yo Gottiwelcomed DJ Paul of Three 6 Mafia on stage. Despite having squashed a years-long beef in 2014, this marked the first time the two "Kings Of Memphis" had ever appeared on stage together.

The evening also featured a surprise appearance by Nicki Minaj and Meek Mill, who joined Yo Gotti on his national hit "F.U." (Click here to watch). And with Rich Homie Quan and Snootie Wild on the bill, Yo Gotti of course performed two of his biggest collabs of 2014: "Yayo" and "I Know." Fans were treated to hit after hit as Dej Loaf, Boosie Badazz, OT Genasis, Wave Chapelle and Monica also graced the stage.

Each year, Yo Gotti and Friends Birthday Bash has grown by at least 100%. Last year's celebration, which featured surprise performances by Meek Mill, B.o.B., August Alsina and K. Camp, was held at the Cannon Center for the Performing Arts, which holds 2500 in capacity. This year's event was held at the 5000-capacity Mud Island Amphitheater, and welcomed a near capacity crowd.

YO GOTTI's first annual birthday bash was nothing less than high powered with friends showing support for the life of Gotti. Performances were enjoyed by Jeezy, Nelly, Jadakiss, Cash Out, and Travis Porter.

"I love celebrating my birthday with my hometown of Memphis. The cool thing about the event is that it keeps growing each year with more and more support from the people here and my friends haven't slowed down on showing up for the turn up," states Yo Gotti.
