Rolling Loud held its first edition of 2025 over the weekend, on the grounds adjacent to SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA. A$AP Rocky headlined Saturday, performing for the first time since being acquitted on firearm assault charges. He made a grand entrance, being lowered to the stage from a helicopter that flew him in, and proceeded to debut a few new songs, including one that references Kendrick Lamar and Drake’s beef with the lyrics, “I ain’t on J.Cole, I ain’t on Drake, I ain’t on Kendrick side / I choose homicide, they gonna see a different side.” He also brought out Skepta for “Praise the Lord (Da Shine).”

Playboi Carti headlined Sunday, days after releasing his new album I Am Music, which he debuted a good chunk of. He also brought out a couple of the album’s guests: Skepta for “TOXIC,” and The Weeknd for “Rather Lie” and “Timeless,” their collab from The Weeknd’s new album Hurry Up Tomorrow.

This weekend’s Rolling Loud also featured Cash Cobain, Peso Pluma, Gelo (who made his live debut at the fest), Xaviersobased, YG (who brought out a Trump impersonator to mock during “FDT”), Sexyy Red, Ski Mask the Slump God, Larry June, BossMan Dlow, Ab-Soul, Luh Tyler, TiaCorine, Kamaiyah, Ken Carson, Redveil, Lefty Gunplay, Stunna Girl, Skaiwater, Blxst, Destroy Lonely, Quavo, 03 Greedo, Dom Kennedy, Tee Grizzley, and more.
