Lil Uzi Vert Removed From Rolling Loud After Disputing Lineup, Replaced by Future and Metro Bo

Lil Uzi Vert, who was listed as a headlining act at Rolling Lous, previously said they never agreed to perform at the California festival.

Metro Boomin and Future have replaced Lil Uzi Vert on the Rolling Loud California lineup.

This comes just hours after Uzi — a singer and rapper who uses they/them pronouns — publicly denied ever having signed off on the gig. They took to Instagram on Nov. 14, the same day the festival announced Nicki Minaj and Post Malone as headliners, and claimed “I never said I was doing rolling loud. Don’t understand why my name is on here.”

The festival is set to take place at the Hollywood Park Grounds in Inglewood, California on March 15 – 17 and also features Summer Walker, Sexyy Red, Don Toliver, and for the first time, música Mexicana artists like Fuerza Regida, Natanael Cano and others.
