Festival organizers made the announcement Sunday, saying that — for reasons beyond their control — Kanye will not appear at their event later this month as one of three headliners … and in his place , Scott will intervene to grab the mantle. Due to circumstances beyond our control, Ye will no longer be performing at Rolling Loud Miami 2022. Welcome @KiDCuDi! pic.twitter.com/HpPfKyf2LU — Rolling Loud (@RollingLoud) July 17, 2022 @RollingLoud Rolling Loud co-founders Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingler further told TMZ … “We were looking forward to Ye headlining Rolling Loud Miami 2022. We spent months working with him and his team on the show. Unfortunately, Ye decided that It will be the first time a headliner has pulled out of our show and while we don’t take it lightly, we wish him the best.” They add: “We can’t wait to welcome Kid Cudi as a headliner in Miami and can’t wait to see what he has in store.” Kid Cudi himself confirmed the news, posting the new lineup on his IG story. It’s unclear why Ye bailed, but that’s kind of been his MO lately — you’ll remember, he also pulled out of Coachella at the last minute, with no explanation. And there they had to fight at the last minute for a new act. The backdrop to this latest news, of course, is the fact that Cudi has officially disowned Ye … publicly stating that their friendship is over, this after Ye took a few jabs at him for being friends with Pete Davidson. He even clarified afterward that he and Kanye still weren’t cool, despite collaborating on a Pusha T’s song — which KC said would be the last time they worked together. So he’s the guy to fill Kanye’s shoes pretty much comes full circle in all of that. As for Ye … he’s been relatively low lately. While he made an appearance for Diddy’s big moment earlier this summer — the guy hasn’t been as visible as he was at the start of the year … which we guess some might consider a good thing.
