Lil Wayne Cancels Rolling Loud Set After Refusing to be Checked by Security
Tonight (May 11), Lil Wayne canceled his scheduled performance and Rolling Loud Miami after refusing to be checked by festival security. Wayne was slated to take the headlining slot on the Audiomack Stage at 10:55 p.m., as Billboard points out, but called off the set after security allegedly “made it mandatory” he be checked.
“To all my fans who came to see me at Rolling Loud,” Wayne wrote on Twitter, “I’m sorry but I won’t be performing. The Festival Police (Not Rolling Loud) made it mandatory that I had to be policed and checked to get on the stadium grounds. I do not and will not ever settle for being policed to do my job and give you guys a great show. I will be at Story tonight for the afterparty and you kan katch me on tour with my bros Blink 182 this summer! 🤙🏾” Rolling Loud’s official Twitter account retweeted Wayne’s statements.

Wayne’s cancellation is one in a series of unfortunate events to befall this year’s edition of Rolling Loud; on Friday night, false reports of an active shooter on the festival grounds caused a stampede and some attendees sustained minor injuries. Earlier today, rapper Kodak Black was arrested before his Rolling Loud set at Hard Rock Stadium on weapons charges.
