He was joined by Cardi B and Lil Jon on the final night of the three-night festival at the State Farm Arena, next door to where the New England Patriots will play the Los Angeles Rams in Super Bowl 53.<\/p>\n<p>Ludacris and Migos kicked off the first night of the festival, while Aerosmith and Post Malone performed the previous night.<\/p>\n<p>Cardi B declined an offer to take the Super Bowl stage, but performed a series of songs at the Super Bowl-related event including \u201cI Like It,\u201d \u201cBartier Cardi\u201d and \u201cBodak Yellow.\u201d The rapper said the energy around the city motivated her even more before the concert.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI come here a lot, but everyone seems to be more excited,\u201d she said in an interview. \u201cIt feels like a real holiday. The streets are extremely busy, the malls are a little crowded, everybody is bringing out their best cars, their best jewelry. All these artists are in town.
