J. Cole & Playboi Carti Battle It Out For Rolling Loud NYC Day 2 Supremacy
Playboi Carti took the Audiomack stage around 9:15 p.m., and there was no chance the Atlanta rap superstar would let Cole show him up at a festival known for raging and mosh pits. By the time Carti pulled up in an all-black outfit to the sounds of “Stop Breathing,” the rain had begun to pour heavily, setting up the scene for one of the most wildest sets at Rolling Loud. Fans were taking off and throwing their clothes, jewelry and whatever else was on their body as King Vamp instructed them to go wild while he segued into “Rockstar Made,” “Teen X” and “JumpOutTheHouse.” Once Carti dove into his feature on Ye’s “Off the Grid,” the ground began to shake, causing festival-goers to let off all their pent-up energy. J. Cole and hi...

Lil Uzi Vert Says His $24 Million Pink Diamond Was Ripped Out of His Head at Rolling Loud
Lil Uzi Vert‘s performance at Miami’s Rolling Loud music festival back in May was almost his most costly performance ever. At the beginning of this year, the “XO Tour Llif3” rapper had a pink “10 almost 11 carat” diamond surgically embedded in his forehead. The diamond cost $24 million and he said that he had been paying for it since 2017. Vert reportedly had it implanted in his forehead because he was afraid he’d lose it otherwise. “I’ve been paying for a natural pink diamond from Elliot for years now,” he said in a January 2021 tweet. “This one Stone cost so much I’ve been paying for it since 2017. That was the first time I saw a real natural pink diamond.” Shortly after, he dove into the Rolling Loud f...
Can Festivals Really Come Back? What’s Next After Lollapalooza
Since it became clear that Lollapalooza would be the first major multigenre U.S. festival since the start of the pandemic, promoters hoped it would kick off a shortened but vital festival season, with Bonnaroo, Governors Ball and Firefly scheduled to follow in September. But circumstances have changed as another wave of COVID-19 cases spreads — along with fears that festivals could become super-spreader events. In Chicago, one source tells Billboard that, as Lollapalooza approached, promoters grew nervous that public health officials would impose limits on the event’s capacity. Live Nation and rival AEG have already worked out a compromise with the major talent agencies in case other festivals are forced to cancel. If that happens 30 to 60 days before the event, the promoter only has to pa...

Coi Leray Performs At Rolling Loud Miami, Crowd Chose Violence [Video]
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Leanne Leuterio/Rolling Loud / Rolling Loud Coi Leray continues to earn her following; literally one fan at a time. She faced a very stiff crowd during her recent set at Rolling Loud Miami. As spotted on TMZ the up and coming rapper had a hell of a time connecting to the ticket holders that attended the multi day festival over the weekend. Footage captured from the event shows the Boston, Massachusetts native bringing high energy to the stage throughout her set. Unfortunately the crowd seemed unimpressed to say the least. Folks in the first couple of rows were visibly emotionless as she turned up as much as possible. She also invited her boyfriend Pressa to perform their collaboration “Attachments” but still no luck.
