Summer Walker left J. Cole in shock at Dave & Busters.

Dreamville Festival was a massive success this year. J. Cole and co. brought out the stars for an incredible two-day festival. Along with the Dreamville roster, including J.I.D, Bas, and others, they also hosted acts like Summer Walker, Usher, and plenty of others. However, after closing things out with J. Cole and Drake’s incredible co-headlining set, they took the party to Dave & Busters where Summer Walker emerged as the winner.

The R&B star took to Instagram where she revealed that she was snatching up everyone’s money. Walker revealed that she won $440 “on accident” from apparently placing bets against a number of people on the basketball arcade game. A video emerged of Walker hitting back-to-back swishes at D&B’s emerged as J. Cole appeared shook at her athletic abilities. Eventually, he holds his head in disbelief while Walker peers over her shoulders and says, “What?” Perhaps, we’ll catch the two of them collaborating in the near future following her win at the arcade.

After showcasing her basketball skills, she got into a game of air hockey with Waka Flocka. Apparently, Dreamville has some pull at D&B as Waka Flocka was spotted sparking a blunt at the other end of the table. Evidently, the eventful weekend closed out with some fun for everyone involved in Dreamville Festival. “$440 from Dave N Busters on accident,” she captioned her story. “Ain’t lost one game.” Ultimately, it seems like her skills impressed both Waka Flocka and J. Cole.

Summer Walker delivered an incredible set at Dreamville Festival, though she has even more surprises in store for her fans. This afternoon, she announced her new EP, Clear 2: Soft Life. The upcoming project marks her first since 2021’s Still Over It. The new EP drops on May 19th, so we’ll have plenty of heat in store for the summer months. Though she hasn’t revealed a tracklist yet, we could imagine that she’ll have a few collabs on deck for Clear 2: Soft Life. Check out footage from Dave & Busters above and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
