In a statement provided to Variety<\/a>, festival organisers said that rapper Kid Cudi would be replacing West \u2013 also known as Ye \u2013 as a headliner on the festival bill.<\/p>\n Rolling Loud co-founders Tariq Cherif and Matt Zingle said: \u201cWe were looking forward to Ye headlining Rolling Loud Miami 2022. We spent months working with him and his team on the performance.<\/p>\n \u201cUnfortunately, Ye has decided that he will no longer be performing. This is the first time a headliner has ever pulled [out of] our show and though we don\u2019t take it lightly, we wish him the best. We look forward to welcoming Kid Cudi as a headliner in Miami and we can\u2019t wait to see what he has in store.\u201d<\/p>\n Rolling Loud is set to begin on Friday with further performances from Kendrick Lamar, Gucci Mane, Dababy, 2 Chainz and Lil Uzi Vert.<\/p>\n The news comes following last week\u2019s reports that West is facing legal action over unpaid fees for events.<\/p>\n The rapper is being sued for $7.1m<\/a> (\u00a36m\/\u20ac7m) by Los Angeles-based production company Phantom Labs over claims of unpaid fees for events and other projects.<\/p>\n Image: Jason Persse<\/a>\/CC BY-SA 2.0<\/a> \/Edited for size<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
