Rolling Loud Miami 2022 at the Hard Rock Stadium had a rocky launch after headliner Kid Cudi walked off stage in the middle of his set.
Here is everything you need to know.
Why did Kid Cudi walk off the stage?
Kid Cudi was called in as a headliner to replace Ye formerly known as Kanye West.
The 45-year-old rapper pulled out of the Rolling Loud lineup five days ahead of the concert due to unclear reasons.
Regardless, it seems like the audience was not impressed with organizers replacing Ye with his friend turned foe Kid Cudi.
The angry fans showed their support for the Donda artist as they threw random items at Kid Cudi during his Friday set at the music concert.
Regardless, the 38-year-old rap icon, who looked furious, warned the audience that he will walk away if they keep throwing things at him.
In one of the clips filmed at the show, Kid Cudi can be heard saying, ‘If I get hit with one more f**king thing. If I see one more f**king thing on this f**king stage I’m leaving.’
In another video, he reportedly addressed, ‘Yo, I will walk off this stage if you all throw one more f**king thing up here. I will leave. I will leave right now.’
However, his warning went in vain when someone threw a bottle at the stage which left Kid Cudi agitated.
Furthermore, the Man on the Moon singer wasted no time in storming off the stage without completing his set and leaving the crowd stunned.
Add insult to Kid Cudi’s injury, Ye made a surprise appearance during Lil Durk’s Friday night gig.
The fashion mogul performed on the adjacent stage of Kid Cudi after he was dragged by Lil Durk for guest vocals.
Moreover, the duo performed a track called Father Stretch My Hands Pt. 1, which features Kid Cudi’s vocals on the chorus.

One user said, ‘The disrespect for Kid Cudi at rolling loud is disgusting.’

y’all fucking clowns. hang it up, @TariqCherif. smh.— nicholas liddle (@NLiddle16) July 23, 2022Advertisement
Another shared, ‘Seeing what happened to him at Rolling Loud destroys me. It’s not his fault he became the headliner instead of Ye. If you want someone to be mad about, be mad at Ye for pulling out last second. @KiDCuDi wishing you the best, don’t let that impact you too much.’
Throwing things on stage at Kid Cudi is every bit as disrespectful to him as it is unfair to his fans, those who showed up at Rolling Loud to see him perform. And he was fair enough to warn that he would leave. He could have immediately walked off after the first incident.
