Fans of New York drill rapper Fivio Foreign were surprised to find that he did not show for his Rolling Loud set today (March 4). Understanding their frustrations, Fivio took to Twitter to apologize for his absence.
“Apologize to @RollingLoud & everybody who came out to see me I ain’t make it,” said Fivio. “My first time missing a show and I feel so crazy about it but my body dealing w some real issues.. Juss keep me in yah prayers.”
Apologize to @RollingLoud & everybody who came out to see me I ain’t make it.. My first time missing a show and I feel so crazy about it but my body dealing w some real issues.. Juss keep me in yah prayers & I’ll hit Tariq up to make it up
But even though he has been dealing with mental health and emotional health issues, he remains true to his passion. During the Grammys last month, he spoke with The Source.
“Hip-Hop means everything,” said Fivio. “When I was growing up and coming outside, it molded me. Taught me how to move and live, dress and feel. It almost means everything to me.”
Hopefully, Fivio gets well soon, as he teased new music shortly after the time planned for his Rolling Loud slot. After rapper Meek Mill tweeted that there hasn’t been “a lot of flame to listen to” lately, Fivio revealed that he has new music on the way.
Hot off the release of her new single, “16,” BIA took to the Rolling Loud stage in California today (March 4) to perform it live for the first time.
Over a blazing beat, BIA recalls leaving home when she was younger, on a mission to pursue her dreams.
“Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, ‘F*ck you’ / I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to / We weren’t broke together, tell me how the f*ck I trust you? / I left mama house, b*tch, I ain’t have nowhere to run to,” she raps on the song’s chorus.
During her performance, she maintained an energy of perseverance throughout, remembering everything that she’s been through has led her here.
At the moment, BIA is hard at work on her upcoming album. In an interview with Variety last year, she noted how Epic Records has been instrumental in helping her manifest her dreams.
“They’re super hands-on with me, even down to my product managers and digital team,” she said. “You gotta really know an artist if you’re trying to market them. They know me and really allow me to be my best, most authentic self.”
Rolling Loud California kicked off Friday afternoon from Inglewood’s Hollywood Park Grounds next to SoFi Stadium. The festival is live-streaming performances from sets during all three days online. The livestream hours are 3:30 p.m.–11:30 PM, PT on Friday, 1:30 p.m.–11:30 PM, PT on Saturday, and 1:30 p.m.–11:30 PM, PT on Sunday. Saturday’s lineup will be headlined by Travis Scott, Lil Wayne, and Blueface. Earlier in the night, Lil Baby, Don Toliver, 2 Chainz, City Girls, Young Nudy, BIA, and many more artists will be performing. As for Sunday, Future, Polo G, and Sheck Wes will lead the charge with earlier acts including Lil Uzi Vert, Trippie Redd, Lil Yachty, Ice Spice, Coi Leray, and more.
“We are ready to welcome Rolling Loud and hip-hop fans from all over the world to Inglewood over the course of this three-day event,” Inglewood Mayor James Butts told the Los Angeles Times. “A festival of this caliber combined with the city’s rich music history is a winning combination.”

As for choosing Travis Scott as the festival headliner for Saturday night, Tariq Cherif told Variety that they’ve had a relationship with him for years. “We’ve been booking Travis Scott since 2015. From the way he captivated the crowd on our second stage, we knew he was going to be a star,” he told the outlet. “He’s our most demanded artist and we look forward to bringing him back on our stage.” As for any safety concerns, considering the events that occurred during the 2021 Astroworld Festival, Matt Zingler said that the festival is “taking everything into consideration. “We learned from our own mistakes and the mistakes of others,” Zingler said, before adding, “We take everything into consideration and we’re constantly growing.”

Last night at Rolling Loud, Tyga performed his set — and brought along a special guest in the form of YG.
While performing their 2019 collaboration, “Go Loko,” YG did a truly iconic dance, revaling that he’s multi-talented when it comes to moves. The duo also teased that they have what seems to be a full collaborative record on the way, as it was teased on stage.
“You know what I’m saying?” Tyga says in the video. “We only came up with one song, but now we about to drop the new album coming soon.”
When “Go Loko” was first released, Tyga revealed that they had been inspired by Mexico’s impact on culture…which hasn’t fully aged well. “Growing up in L.A., it’s a really big culture here,” he told the Recording Academy. “Even YG could tell you, he grew up around all Mexicans, so we really wanted to do something to give back to the culture.”
In addition, Tyga appeared on YG’s album last year, as a feature on “Run.”
“Me and Tyga were in the studio just trying to plot like, ‘What should we do for the video?’ There’s only so much you can do with that type of song. We ain’t wanna do like a flashy rap video, driving around in the cars. I got plenty of them,” YG revealed to Billboard.
Check out the videos of Tyga and YG’s performance (and album teaser) above.
Playboi Carti just gifted fans with a performance of new and unreleased music during his Rolling Loud LA set. Moreover, the teased track sounds quite similar to the undeniably influential sound of Whole Lotta Red. For example, his screams are still ear-piercing, the instrumental sounds distorted and heavy, and the additional guitars gave it that rockstar feel. As he played the song and screamed along, his stage goons ran across the stage to hype the audience up. For those of you waiting patiently for new music from the Atlanta rapper, maybe this performance hints at an upcoming drop.
However, it’s not a good time to be a fan of Playboi Carti. Recently, a lot of conversation around the 26-year-old surrounded his December arrest for allegedly assaulting his girlfriend over a pregnancy test. While he hasn’t addressed these accusations, his ex-girlfriend and mother of his child Iggy Azaleaspoke out against his behavior. With that in mind, Carti’s history of legal troubles and violence is coming to light in a damning way, especially considering that he’s not really online all that much to update fans himself or talk about these situations.
Meanwhile, other members of his Opium label camp faced accusations of wrongdoing recently as well. One example is the duo Homixide Gang, who faced accusations of grooming on social media. Still, these rumors did not manifest into a police report, arrest, or other official confirmation like Carti did. Those rumors remained online, but many passionate fans put the pieces together from various testimonies and concurrencies. Such revelations are unfortunate considering their musical impact, and how their aggressive sound could implicitly provoke or hint at these actions. However, that’s a wide brush to paint artists with, and a cult fanbase as vocal as Opium’s shouldn’t jump to conclusions with no concrete basis.
Also, rumors spread on social media that a potentially fatal incident occurred during Carti’s Rolling Loud LA show. After the show stopped, many pointed to leaked audio and on-the-ground testimonies that someone was potentially killed as a result of an insanely dangerous crowd environment. However, these reports are still hearsay as of writing this article, with some sources saying that a victim received medical treatment and recovered. Regardless, check out the new song above if you’re interested and, if you’re going to a Carti show, please be careful and mindful of others, as his shows and mosh pits can get notoriously scary quickly. Also, as always, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti.
Soulja Boy recently performed at Rolling Loud Los Angeles, and people say the crowd was pretty dead. Moreover, a particular clip went around social media of Soulja performing his track “Rick & Morty,” a viral offering. However, in the recording, you can’t really hear the crowd screaming lyrics back at him or engaging with the performance. As one Twitter user posted, “there is not a single phone in sight for [Soulja Boy].” Still, some people pointed out in comments and reply sections that, in some recordings for concerts, they mute the crowd mics while the artist is performing.
Furthermore, that’s exactly what’s heard in the clip at the very end, where the rap pioneer instructs the crowd to “make some motherf***in’ noise, man.” Regardless of whether people actually got hyped up to the performance, it’s fair to say that he’s more known for his influence than his present contributions these days. In fact, saying the Atlanta-bred artist was the first to do “x” rap achievement is basically a meme at this point. As such, people seemed much more excited during renditions of classics like “All The Way Turnt Up” by Roscoe Dash featuring Soulja.
Meanwhile, the “Crank Dat” artist recently made headlines for things curiously outside his wheelhouse or own career. For example, he expressed support for Megan Thee Stallion following her victorious case against Tory Lanez, who shot Meg back in 2020. Moreover, he called out Lanez in the process. “You want to shoot b***hes in the feet n***a?” he said on IG Live. “Yous a p***y n***a. And when you get from jail n***a you know where I’m at. You got a problem n***a I’ll beat your b***h a** n***a. Don’t never rap over none of my beats, don’t never freestyle over none of my beats. You trash n***a. Your music trash.”
Certainly some strong words from Soulja. Sure, some people clowned it for not really being his business, but it seemed like everyone was giving their opinion anyway. Elsewhere, he recently got involved in a spat with Boosie Badazz as well over comments about straight rappers. Regardless of the oddity of that exchange, check out reactions to the Rolling Loud LA performance down below. Also, as always, log back into HNHH for the latest updates and news on Soulja Boy and more notable performance moments.

Rolling Loud has returned to Los Angeles for the first time since 2019 with a new location and a lineup including headlining performances by Future, Playboi Carti, and Travis Scott. While all three are festival mainstays, it’ll be Carti’s first time headlining and Travis’s first official time back in the spotlight since the 2021 Astroworld disaster — although he did show up as a surprise special guest during Future’s set at the Miami festival last year.
Today, Rolling Loud announced the set times and livestream information for the LA edition of the fest, which will take place this weekend at Inglewood’s SoFi Stadium. Beginning today at 3 pm, the festival kicks off with a slew of up-and-coming acts spread across three stages. Carti will close the Friday night show after performances from Rich The Kid, Chief Keef, Kodak Black, and more.
Travis Scott will play the last set on Saturday across from Lil Wayne and Blueface, while Future will wrap things up Sunday night alongside Polo G and Sheck Wes. You can see more information below:
The first New Music Friday of March, and it’s bringing out the best in some of our favourite female artists. First up we heard Nicki Minaj’s first single of 2023, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which is already receiving rave reviews from fans. Next up for your consideration is a new title from BIA, “SIXTEEN,” which landed on DSPs ahead of her performance at Rolling Loud California on Saturday (March 4).
The track comes via Epic Records, with production crafted by Aziz the Shake and Tim Nihan. Of everything we’ve heard from the Boston-born lyricist so far, this stands to be some of her most emotionally charged work yet. On the chorus, she chants, “Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, ‘F*ck you’ / I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to,” reminding listeners that she certainly wasn’t born into this life.
BIA Shows Out On “SIXTEEN”
It’s been a big few weeks for BIA. While awaiting the arrival of “SIXTEEN,” she took a trip to Milan where she performed at Philipp Plein’s F/W 2023 runway show. Earlier in February, she also joined The Kid LAROI at the AT&T NBA All-Star Pregame Performance where they kept the crowd entertained with some of their biggest hits. According to a press release, more new music from the Los Angeles-based artist is on the way soon.
Prior to dropping her first solo effort of the year, we heard the 31-year-old on Snakehips’ “Solitude” with Lucky Daye, as well as on the Queen Mix of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl.” Before that, she and J. Cole came together for one of BIA’s most popular releases to date, “LONDON.”
Stream BIA’S “SIXTEEN” single on Spotify or Apple Music below. Afterward, tell us if you’ll be tuning into the rap diva’s Rolling Loud set in the comments. Make sure to check back later this weekend for more release recommendations on our Fire Emoji playlist.
Quotable Lyrics:
Take me back to when I lost my job, I told ’em, “F*ck you” I came from a place where there’s nobody to look up to We weren’t broke together, tell me how the f*ck I trust you? I left mama house, bitch, I ain’t have nowhere to run to
Starting March 3rd through March 5th 2023, the annual Rolling Loud festival will begin. Making the first of many stops in Inglewood, CA at the Hollywood Park grounds. Inglewood is the first of two stops nationally and one of many internationally.
What began in 2015 in Miami as a way to, “create a festival to showcase the best in hip hop music”, has become an annual international sensation. Created by Matt Zingler and Tariq Cherif, two best friends who have known each other since their time in Hollywood, FL elementary school. After throwing successful parties in high school their first foray into professional live music was a 2010 after-party. The event was headlined by Rick Ross and was not a success. In fact, it left Ziggler bloodied and in need of stitches. As well as leaving them both out of tens of thousands of dollars. At that point they knew they needed a new game plan.
They began booking rappers both well-known and unknown for dates around the Florida area. They also began to study the way that EDM shows captivate their audiences. Shortly thereafter, Rolling Loud was born. The very first Rolling Loud festival took place February 28th, 2015 at Soho Studios in the Wynwood section of Miami, FL. Big names like Action Bronson, Schoolboy Q, A$AP Ferg, Juicy J, and Curren$y all came together to grace the stage for the day-long event. In the years since then it has grown and expanded to the point that it has gone from one day to a full weekend. It has also gone from one local location to a highly recognized international festival.
Rolling loud is considered to be the largest hip hop festival in the world. The focus that it has on hip hop is what sets it apart from other music festivals. Other festivals tend to sprinkle hip hop acts few and far between, while Rolling Loud dedicates its entirety to the genre. This year’s line up is chocked full of big names just as the years prior have been. This year’s festival kicks off with Playboy Carti as the headliner on Friday. He is most known for his hits, “Sky” and “Magnolia”, among a host of others. Set to perform the same day are Kodak Black, Tyga, Trippie Redd, DaBaby, Saweetie, Souljah Boy and 28 other artists as well.
Saturday, the second of the three day long event is headlined by Travis Scott. Other performers taking the stage that day include; Lil Baby, 2 Chainz, Kevin Gates, City Girls and another 34 other artists that were not mentioned. The weekend long hip hop festival concludes with Future as the headliner. As well as special guest Lil Wayne. Other artists set to take the stage are: Lil Uzi Vert, Tory Lanez, MoneyBagg Yo and 40 other performers. So in total there will be over 100 artists taking to the stage in Inglewood this coming weekend.
Ticket prices for Rolling Loud range in price depending on what you are looking to get out of the experience. General admission tickets were starting at $329 per person. The prices only go up from there. For the three day VIP passes, they were starting at $849 per person. The VIP Munchie three day pass starts at $999 per person. For almost a thousand dollars, here is the list of perks that are included. Exclusive Front row stage viewing access, access onto festival grounds & VIP Areas, 10 meal tickets to experience all of our food options, exclusive VIP merch pack, air conditioned restrooms, expedited entry into the festival, dedicated private bar, free makeup touch-ups at Bunny’s Bae Bar, dedicated private food & beverage vendors, live art installations, private merchandise store, as well as shaded, chill areas with seating.
With so many artists performing in just a few days, the outdoor area will be divided among multiple stages. Throughout the varying stages performances with range depending on the artist. They seem to range anywhere from 20 minutes for unknown artists to an hour for headliners.The festival hours are from 3PM till 11PM both Friday and Saturday while Sunday’s festivities begin at 1PM ending at 11PM. Festival goers have had the opportunity upon purchasing their wristbands and downloading the Rolling Loud app to personalize and save a schedule of all of the artists they want to see. The saved schedule shows a list of the artists in order by date and time along with the exact stage that they will be performing on.
