“Bet you can’t meet Obama,” one user said, to which Vec responded, “bet.”

“Uzi the only one that realized,” another commented.

“Literally how do you get in these situations,” a third user asked.

In a response to The Daily Dot, Yung Vec revealed whether or not he has faced any consequences from sneaking into the festival: “No, I haven’t faced any repercussions. I thought I might get banned by Rolling Loud but it seems not to have reached their attention or been a concern of theirs. Might even do it again at the next Rolling Loud.”
