Rolling Loud: Kid Cudi Walks Off Stage After Being Harassed By Crowd; Kanye West Makes Surprise Appearance
Miami’s Rolling Loud got off to a rocky start on Friday as the evening’s headliner, Kid Cudi, ended his performance early after audience members repeatedly threw items onto the stage.

Kid Cudi joined Rolling Loud’s lineup earlier this week, filling in as a last-minute replacement for his one-time collaborator-turned-rival, West. The feud between the two rappers apparently permeated into the crowd, as audience members repeatedly interrupted Cudi’s set by throwing objects at him and chanting West’s name. As documented by fan-captured footage, Cudi ended his set after 30 minutes and walked off stage. Adding insult to injury, just minutes aft...

Rolling Loud Announces New York City Dates
HipHopWired Featured Video Source: Astrida Valigorsky / Getty Rolling Loud is officially coming back to New York City and best believe it’s going to be lit come the Fall. Yesterday Rolling Loud took to their social media to announce the concert dates and with a pretty cool CGI video revealed that this September 23rd-25th, Citi Field in Queens, New York will be hosting the highly anticipated event. Unfortunately, they didn’t name any artists who’ll be taking the stage this September but judging from the song used in the video (“City of Gods”), we kinda expect the current King of NY, Fivio Foreign to headline the joint. After that it’s pretty much a guessing game as to who’s going to be showing up to perform for the residents of the city that never sleeps. Maybe Bobby Shmurda? Joey Bada$$? A...
