Kid Cudi Replacing Kanye West as Rolling Loud Miami 2022 Headliner
The festival is set to take place on July 22 to July 24.
Rolling Loud has announced that Kid Cudi will be replacing Kanye West as the day one headliner for Rolling Loud Miami 2022.
Rolling Loud co-founders Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler confirmed the news in a statement that read, “We were looking forward to Ye headlining Rolling Loud Miami 2022. We spent months working with him and his team on the performance. Unfortunately, Ye has decided that he will no longer be performing. This is the first time a headliner has ever pulled off our show and though we don’t take it lightly, we wish him the best. We look forward to welcoming Kid Cudi as a headliner in Miami and we can’t wait to see what he has in store.”
The announcement was made less than a week before Ye was meant to take the stage. He previously performed as a special guest at Rolling Loud California 2021 and the artist and organizers began their personal and professional relationship in December 2021. Despite the last-minute replacement, Ye seemed excited about the performance and repeatedly promoted his inclusion in the lineup on social media.
Rolling Loud Miami 2022 will now be headlined by Cudi, Kendrick Lamar and Future and is still set to take place on July 22 to July 24.
