Rolling Loud

**Rolling Loud** is an international hip hop music festival founded in 2015 by Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif. American rapper Lil Wayne was a headline performer in the years 2017, 2018, and 2023. He was slated to perform in 2019, though canceled as he refused to be checked by security. He elaborated on Twitter, "The Festival Police (Not Rolling Loud) made it mandatory that I had to be policed and checked to get on the stadium grounds. I do not and will not ever settle for being policed to do my job and give you guys a great show and give you guys a great show. I will be at Story tonight for the afterparty and you kan katch me on tour with my bros Blink 182 this summer! 🤙🏾"

## Critical reception

Cristina Jerome reviewed for *Miami New Times* of the 2017 concert, "If you forgot Lil Wayne was the self-proclaimed 'best rapper alive,' you were reminded during his set at Rolling Loud. As soon as the Cash Money Records rapper took the stage dressed in a long-sleeved white Gucci T-shirt and diamond chains brighter than your future, the crowd went wild knowing it was going to be a hell of a show. Lil Wayne was accompanied by a live drum set and his DJ [...] the crowd swayed to the beat, reliving the moments when Wayne ruled the rap scene."

For the 2023 show, *Vibe* wrote, "Weezy F. Baby brought out some big names such as 2 Chainz, who performed before him, and surprise guest Nicki Minaj. The Queens rapper’s moment was plagued by audio mishaps, but the roaring audience offered support by way of screams and chants. [...] For many, the set was a nostalgic trip down memory lane to reminisce on the exact moments when the 40-year-old rapper first flicked his lighter to start a track." *HotNewHipHop* named it as a "highlight" to their list of best performances at the event, while *XXL* made note of the technical issues with sound.
