As for the rest of Young Thug's set at Coachella, he performed several of his most iconic songs. They included "Mamacita," "Check," "Digits," "Havana," "Pick Up the Phone," and "Hot," among others.
At one point, Thug stopped his show to shout out Kanye West and Kim Kardashian's daughter, North West, who was in attendance. “What’s up, North? How you doing? Where [are] your parents?” he asked.
“I want y’all to make some noise for North,” Thug continued. “She in this motherf*cker. Like, you just casually out, just casually having fun. Like, what are you doing?”
Thug also turned the spotlight to Teyana Taylor, revealing that he's been trying to "get in touch with her" for the last month. "I wanted her to style me, man. She just too big. [She] wasn’t calling back," he said.
