Texas Southern University 2022 Homecoming Concert

Homecoming at an HBCU is more than just a football game. It's a week-long event.

Alumni come back to campus to reminisce about their time as students and current students get

to participate in many different events that are unique to HBCU culture. One event that many

students look forward to each year is the homecoming concert. Last Tuesday evening on

October 25 2022, Texas Southern University’s student body gathered at the Durley Stadium for

the annual Homecoming Concert. The concert headliners were Supahbad, Fredo Bang, and

Rob49. There were also a few special guests that made appearances throughout the concert.

The gates opened at 6:30 pm and the stadium filled up quickly with excited students.. One

student, Reginald Fulton states “I'm excited to see my girl Supahbad. I think she's going to bring

the energy”. While waiting for the performances to start, Dj Lefty played a variety of different

songs, ranging from bounce music to R&B. After that, DJ Lefty picked three volunteers from

the crowd to participate in a twerk contest. The concert itself started at 7:30 which was thirty

minutes later than the original start time. Supahbad was the first artist to perform and her set was

filled with energy. The crowd engagement was strong during her performance and she even

pulled girls from the audience to go on stage and dance with her. Supahbad performed a total of

five songs and the crowd knew her songs word for word. After hyping up the crowd, she ended

her set with her viral hit “Bedroom”. Following Supahbads set, rapper ATM Mally made a

special appearance and performed his song “Rich Potnas”. During his performance, his

entourage threw out free T-shirts to the crowd.Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee also made an

appearance at the concert to encourage the crowd to go out and vote. After the congresswoman's

appearance, there was a large gap in between performers and while waiting for the next artist to

come on stage, DJ Lefty played songs to keep the crowd entertained. Finally at 8:30 pm, the

second headliner of the night, Rob 49, came on stage. Rob 49’s set was a little rowdy and at one

point in his performance, his entourage threw money out into the crowd. Rob49 attempted to

follow the trend by inviting girls from the crowd to come on stage, but security denied his

attempts. Rob49’s set ended extremely abruptly and this confused the crowd. Audience member

Haley Bingham states “The concert has been fun, a little crazy, but it's fun” . Shortly after

Rob49’s performance ended, Fredo Bang came on and performed a new song along with other

songs from his discography. DJ Charles and Money Man performed during Fredos set as well.

Fredo Bang closed out the concert and the show ended. This year’s homecoming concert was full

of energy and students look forward to see what next year’s homecoming concert has in store.
