Soulja Boy was the surprise guest at Yams Day.

This has been one of the biggest weeks in Soulja Boy's career. That's saying a lot too. So far, he's recaptured his spot in the game by uttering the year's greatest soundbite. "Draaaaaake? "Draaake!?" will likely still be a thing at the end of the year. With only a select few of the performers at Yams Day announced prior to the event, anything could have happened. A$AP Rocky and the rest of the Mob always try and put on the biggest possible party for the late A$AP Yams and this year was no different. We knew that we could expect Ski Mask the Slump God, Young M.A and the entire A$AP Mob but what transpired would surprise everybody.

After reviving his career through the wildest interviews and Instagram Live sessions, Soulja Boy was the main attraction at Yams Day 2019. Who would have ever thought that Big Drako would make such a triumphant return this year? Seriously... did anyone predict this? The man performed "Crank That" and cried out "Draaaaake?!" into the crowd for a huge ovation. Meek Mill was also a surprise guest at the show. Soulja actually turned around on his comeback claims, saying that he AND Meek had the biggest comebacks of 2018. Sorry, Tyga...
