Kanye West appears as a surprise performer during Lil Durk’s set at Rolling Loud Miami 2022.
The Rolling Loud Miami 2022 kicked off today at Hard Rock Stadium, and it featured a surprise appearance from Kanye West. Ye was previously named as a headliner for the first day, but the rapper dropped out just a few days before the event. Kanye’s longtime collaborator Kid Cudi was named as a replacement, with who he had a feud earlier this year.
Even if Ye’s performance may not have lived up to expectations for many of his admirers, the mere fact that the Donda hitmaker showed up caused an uproar among the crowd.
However, things didn’t go well for Cudi as he quit his performance after the crowd booed and threw things at him. Lil Durk, who was one of the performers tonight, then brought out Kanye West as a surprise performer.

The crowd started throwing objects toward Cudi, some of which got in touch with him, which caused him to experience difficulties throughout his performance. It has been rumored but not proven that this came from West’s followers. They called Cudi’s bluff when he angrily threatened to leave if anything more was thrown onto the stage, and he left as a result. According to reports, West was simultaneously playing “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1,” his collaboration with Cudi, on Durk’s stage.
The Donda rapper performed his song “Father Stretch My Hands, Pt. 1” from his 2016 album “The Life of Pablo”, which featured vocals from Kid Cudi.

So you’re telling me that Kanye “pulled out” of rolling loud 4 days before. Got replaced by Kid Cudi, Kid Cudi got booed off stage and then Kanye showed up anyways to Durk’s set anyways and immediately performed one of the biggest song he has with Cudi’s chorus. Jesus Christ. https://t.co/2NTAG5R3um
