Kanye West comes out, and Little Cuddy is at Rolling Loud Miami – an interesting exchange considering the two have been going strong for the past few months.
Festival organizers made the announcement Sunday, saying that for reasons beyond their control, Kanye will not be performing at their event later this month as one of the three headliners … and Scott will be taking the stage in his place. take the mantle.

Co-founders of Rolling Loud Tarik Cherif and Matt Zingler tell TMZ next … “We’ve been looking forward to E headlining Rolling Loud Miami 2022. We’ve been working with him and his team for months on the show. Unfortunately, Ye has decided that he will no longer perform. It’s the first time a headliner has ever hosted our show, and while we don’t take it lightly, we wish him all the best.”
They add, “We look forward to welcoming Kid Cudi as a headliner in Miami and can’t wait to see what he has in store.”
Kid Cudi himself confirmed the news by posting the new lineup on his IG story. It’s not clear why Ye declined, but that’s been his modus operandi lately – you remember him too pulled from Coachella at the last minute, without explanation. There, too, we had to fight for a new act at the last minute.
The background to this latest news is, of course, the fact that Cudi has officially unfriended Ye … publicly stating that their friendship is over, this after Ye took several jabs at him for being friends with Pete Davidson.
Afterwards, he even clarified that he and Kanye are still not cool despite collaborating on a song Pusha T‘s – what KC said it would the last time they worked together. So him being the guy to replace Kanye pretty much wraps it all up.
As for E…he’s been laying relatively low lately. While he did to pretend for Diddy’s big moment earlier this summer – the guy wasn’t as prominent as he was earlier in the year … we guess some might consider it a good moment.
