Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2024 Lineup Deemed Underwhelming By Fans: Details

With the hotter months just weeks around the corner, music festival season is beginning to ramp up. Rolling Loud in Inglewood, California just wrapped up this past weekend with tons of incredible headliners. Lovers & Friends will be taking place at the start of May in Las Vegas. Of course, you cannot forget about Coachella as well, which will kick off the weekend of April 12, while the second run will begin on April 19. Another staple music festival in the hip-hop and R&B community that we have to mention is Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2024.

The famous New York radio station has the longest running event out of all of the ones listed, beginning in 1994. Plenty of legends have headlined it from Nas, Queen Latifah, and Wu-Tang Clan, are just some to name. However, after Hot 97 announced Summer Jam 2024, according to HipHopNMore, fans were very let down by the leading artists. The one-day event will be held at UBS Arena, home of the New York Islanders NHL team, on June 2.

As if this summer’s music festival season wasn’t already stacked enough, Hot 97’s Summer Jam lineup has been announced.

The staple hip-hop festival will be held on June 2 at UBS Arena in Elmont, New York. This year’s official headliners include Doja Cat, Offset, Sexyy Red, and Davido. But it doesn’t stop there: Method Man and Redman, Tee Grizzley, Sleepy Hallow, and 41 (consisting of Kyle Richh, Jenn Carter, and Tata) are also slated to deliver bookend sets, according to the event’s flyer.

Offset has performed several times at Hot 97’s Summer Jam festival as a member of Migos (most notably 2019 and 2021). However, in June, this will be the “Worth It” rapper’s first time gracing the stage as a soloist. When asked about the possibility of bringing out special guests, he played coy. “I might do my Summer Jam set with just me,” he said. “‘Cause I deserve that.”

But he did reveal that his set will include several elements from his debut solo headline tour’s production and possibly even a moon walk tribute to the late Michael Jackson.

Although a pre-sale date hasn’t been revealed, the station has hinted that one will be. To gain access to the pre-sale, you must sign up for the station’s Insiders List email list. The general on-sale date for Hot 97’s Summer Jam 2024 is Friday, March 22, at 10 a.m. local time. Find more information here.

Joe Budden & Ebro Trade Shots Over “Seat Filler” Comments

The controversy surrounding Summer Jam continues but this time, it surrounds Joe Budden. No, the ex-rapper wasn’t scheduled to perform at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York on June 4th. However, he was apparently invited as a guest to this year’s festivities. Things apparently got shaky when he tried to get to his seat, as explained on his eponymous podcast. “This is a new theater here, new show in town, we are excited to just be here. You could feel the excitement,” he said. “But anyway, I get there, the girl says, ‘Are you a seat filler?’”

Budden explained that a large portion of the crowd consisted of “Long Island radio head people” who were “ not used to famous people wandering around.” “So I said, ‘No, I am not a seat filler.’ And she said, ‘Alright, who are you with?’ And I said, ‘Me.’ And then she said, ‘No, what I’m saying is what organization are you with?’ And then I said, ‘Ma’am, I don’t think you understand what I’m saying to you. I’m the organization. Please direct me to my f***ing tickets.’”

Ebro Fires Back At Joe Budden

Joe Budden’s comments eventually got on the radar of Hot 97 host Ebro, who relayed it to the Summer Jam team and they weren’t necessarily happy about it. First, Ebro explained that Summer Jam solely profits from sponsors rather than ticket sales, so there would be no need to use “seat fillers.” “Most ridiculous lie ever told,” TT Torrez said in a group chat along with Ebro and Funk Flex. “Trying to use his platform to dimension our brand when he was an invited guest to our show. I really don’t understand the reasoning for this!”

Another exchange with another Hot 97 employee, Brad, revealed that Joe Budden also extended a thank you text for the hospitality. “What’s Joe’s angle here? Clicks?” Brad said. “Also, obviously not true [as] I was the one who met him and brought him backstage and he wasn’t even acknowledging fans saying what up, let alone having full on convos.” In response, he and Ebro agreed to “share this.”

A “Non Story”

Ebro shared the slew of text messages with the tweet reading, “Since I don’t manage Summer Jam any longer the team that does has a message for ya’ll…. And @JoeBudden.” In response, Budden asked, “What’s this about?” to which Ebro said, “Tweets. Play along. Say something controversial.” Once a fan brought up Budden’s comments on his podcast, he clarified, “That lady didn’t even work for Hot… non story here.” Check out the exchange below.

The LOX Bring Out Rakim In Vintage Summer Jam Performance

There was some controversy for rappers like Cardi B and Ice Spice at this past weekend’s Hot 97 Summer Jam. Thankfully, The LOX delivered an uncontroversial and very fun set during the festival. The legendary New York hip-hop trio put on a great show that had fans talking online. They were joined on stage by a fellow New York rap icon, Rakim. The rapper and one-time Eric B. & Rakim member was introduced as “The God MC” and he didn’t disappoint.

The veteran collection of talent linked up on stage to perform Rakim’s classic “Eric B. Is President” together. In addition to the performance, LOX member Sheek Louch spoke on how much of an influence Rakim was on the group. “We bringing out somebody that meant so much to us,” he said to the crowd.

Hot 97 Summer Jam is one of the biggest gatherings in the hip-hop calendar. This year in particular the festival is celebrating the 50th anniversary of hip-hop. The LOX were specifically booked as the festival’s tribute act to the history of the genre. They performed alongside a roster of impressive ladies of rap, another theme of this year’s festival. Cardi B, Ice Spice, GloRilla, and Lola Brooke all brought their talents to the Summer Jam stage. In addition, French Montana, FIvio Foreign, and Lil Tjay all appeared at the festival.

The LOX were far from the only reasons that fans were talking about the festival online. Cardi B had to clarify that some of the visuals during her set weren’t an Ice Spice diss like some fans thought. Ice Spice herself also sparked some discussion online in the wake of her performance. After a video of her performing gave the impression she was lip-syncing fans discussed whether it was true and the ethics of delivering live vocals. What did you think of The LOX, Cardi B, and Ice Spice’s performances at Hot 97 Summer Jam? Leave a comment below explaining which moments blew you away and which ones you could have done without.

Blueface Reacts After Dougie B Tries To Put His Arm Around Chrisean Rock

Chrisean Rock wasn’t scheduled to perform at Summer Jam this weekend but she still managed to get on stage. The Baddies West star popped up during GloRilla’s set and was then spotted backstage with Cardi B. However, it seems that she caught the attention of Dougie B, who made a cameo on stage with Cardi. A brief clip emerged of Dougie B trying to put his arm around Chrisean Rock as they walked backstage. However, she rejected his attempt. 

Of course, Rock is currently expecting her first child with Blueface. Still, their relationship has been rather non-existent as of late. Chrisean may very well be on the market right now, especially as Blue continuously praises the mother of his first child, Jaidyn Alexis. Over the past week, Blueface made it clear that he has the utmost love and respect for Alexis and making it clear that he doesn’t feel for Chrisean in the same way. That said, Blueface has no issues with Dougie B.

Dougie B apparently slid into Blueface’s DMs to apologize for trying to put his arm around Chrisean Rock. “I apologize for that I was just saying hi feel me I wasn’t on no funny*t or tryna get up on her,” he wrote. “Word… my fault big bro… keep getting money gang.” It appears that Blueface doesn’t necessarily have an issue with it but he admitted that if it was Jaidyn Alexis that Dougie B tried to pull, he would have an issue.

“I’m not trippin off that one is fair game lil bro now if that was [Jaidyn Alexis] I would be upset,” Blueface responded. “I f**k wit multiple b****es at a time but I don’t care for multiple b****ches at a time.” Still, Blueface took a mild jab at Dougie B’s status. “PS she only acted like that cuz she ai’t no you had status if you was anybody else bigger she would been coo wit it I know this,” he wrote with a handshake emoji. Blueface previously took issue with Rick Ross and Blueface for their interactions with Chrisean Rock. Apparently, he has no issues with anyone over her these days.

Cardi B Is Motivated To Release New Music Following Summer Jam

Despite the speculation and mild drama that occurred after Summer Jam, Cardi B’s found a new sense of inspiration to release new music. It’s been over five years since her Grammy-winning debut album, Invasion Of Privacy hit DSPs and fans have been longing for her sophomore album. She’s unveiled a handful of singles in the past few years including “WAP” ft. Megan Thee Stallion and “Up” but she hasn’t really unveiled a ton of new music recently. Instead, she’s delivered a handful of guest features.

Most recently, she linked up with Latto for “Put It On The Floor Again,” which she performed during her headlining slot at Summer Jam 2023. However, it seems like the return to the Tri-State Area inspired her to release new music. Cardi delivered an impressive set that included appearances from 21 Savage, Dougie B and her Memphis cousin, GloRilla. Unfortunately, she didn’t debut any new music but it seems as though she’s ready to return to the booth.

Following her performance, Cardi B took to the ‘Gram with a photo recap from Summer Jam with both pictures from her performance and backstage. Kulture makes a few cameos (including one alongside Chrisean Rock) while other photos include the guests she brought on stage. However, Cardi penned a heartfelt message to her fans, thanking them for motivating her return to the booth. “NEW YORK thank you for showing me so much love! People had nasty things to say for weeks just for it to sell out and turn out amazing,” she began.

“I haven’t released music in a long time but this definitely motivated me to get back outside. Thank you to all artists who came out during my set and all of the other amazing artists on the line up… WE DID THAT!! Don’t pay attention to the negativity, when the hate don’t work they start telling lies. I’m on a high right now,” she said.

She joined forces with rising star Latto on the recently dropped record “Put It On Da Floor Again,” showcased her collaboration with GloRilla on “Tomorrow 2,” and City Girls anthem “Twerk.”

Cardi B Shuts Down Rumor She Dissed Ice Spice

Cardi B put a stop to the rumors that she dissed Ice Spice during her set at Hot 97 Summer Jam over the weekend. While beginning to perform the song, “Tomorrow 2,” Cardi played the Annie song “Tomorrow,” while projecting images of the character twerking on stage. Some fans mistook Annie for Ice Spice and believed Cardi B to be trolling her fellow Bronx rapper.

“For y’all motherf*ckers that’s on Twitter tryna be messy, please, cut the bullsh*t,” Cardi said on Instagram Live after the fact. “I don’t — that’s not me, like come on now. First of all, y’all been wanting me to be messy all things. Y’all wanted me to be messy on the song, y’all wanted me to — nah, come on now. Cut the bullsh*t, please. Get the mop. Y’all being too messy and y’all being annoying.”

She knows ice spice is about to take her spot. the insecurities jumped out.”

Cardi does reference Ice Spice in the song “Tomorrow 2″ by mentioning her hit song, “Munch (Feelin’ U),”.” When Ice Spice heard the song, she was excited to be known by Cardi. “When Cardi mentioned it in ‘Tomorrow 2,’ I was like, this shit is crazy, bro,” she told Ebro Darden on Hot 97.
