AceShowbiz - The 2022 Rolling Loud New York has unveiled its line-up of performers. On Tuesday, June 14, organizers announced this year's event will feature headlining performances from Nicki Minaj, A$AP Rocky as well as Future.
The major music festival is set to take place at the Citi Field in Queens from September 23-25. Nicki will kick off the event on Friday, joined by fellow hip-hop stars Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Tjay, DaBaby, Moneybagg Yo, Fivio Foreign and BIA among others.
A$AP Rocky will greet fans on the next day along with Lil Baby, A Boogie Wit Da Hoodie, Don Toliver, Busta Rhymes, Kevin Gates and Soulja Boy. As for Future's set, it will be followed by performances from 21 Savage, Big Sean, Pusha T, Fat Joe, Benny the Butcher and other stars.
Future is also tapped as a headliner for the 2022 Rolling Loud Miami along with Kendrick Lamar and Kanye West. Other big names who will perform at the festival include Gucci Mane, City Girls, Kodak Black, Baby Keem, Trippie Redd, Latto (Mulatto) and A$AP Ferg.
Last year's Rolling Loud Miami ended with a controversy after DaBaby hurled insensitive remarks about LGBTQ+ community and HIV/AIDS survivors. In between his performance, he told the crowd, "If you didn't show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that'll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up. … Fellas, if you ain't sucking d**k in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up."
DaBaby has since drawn backlash over his remarks. However, he initially showed no remorse and even doubled down on his comments. The scandal led the "ROCKSTAR" hitmaker to being cut from several other festivals such as Austin City Limits, iHeartRadio, Lollapalooza and U.K.'s Parklife festival. He, however, insisted that he didn't mean to offend anyone with his comments.
