Drake, the renowned rapper, seems to be avoiding Rolling Loud, a popular music festival.
- Tariq Cherif, co-founder of Rolling Loud, thinks Drake is purposely dodging their invitations.
- Despite tempting offers, including three nights as headliner, Drake remains elusive.
- Rolling Loud 2025 lineup, missing Drake, features A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and Peso Pluma.
- Drake hints at getting ‘active’ and teases upcoming projects, leaving fans curious.
Drake fans might be in for a surprise, as it seems the artist is steering clear of Rolling Loud. Tariq Cherif, who co-founded the festival, claims they’ve been trying to book Drake for quite some time, but he’s always just out of reach.
In a conversation with Big Boy, Cherif openly stated, “I feel like Drake’s ducking us.” They even pitched a special event, offering Drake three headlining nights to lure him in, but it still wasn’t quite enough for ‘The Boy.’
Now entering its 10th year, Rolling Loud has established itself as a gigantic force in the music world, drawing in major acts and fans globally. The 2025 event in California promises to keep the excitement alive, though Drake’s absence will be felt.
Instead, A$AP Rocky, Playboi Carti, and newcomer Peso Pluma will take center stage. Fans can also look forward to performances from artists like YG, Quavo, and Larry June, all set to electrify the LA crowd.
While Rolling Loud is rolling on without him, Drake has left a breadcrumb trail of his own. Recently, he posted a cryptic message on Instagram about getting ‘active’ again, hinting at new adventures.
The rapper has had a relatively mellow year, stepping back after some intense moments with Kendrick Lamar. However, excitement is brewing over his new tour in Australia, and a highly-anticipated album collaboration.
“I’m loaded [for 2025],” Drake declared during an online stream, sharing his excitement for upcoming projects. Fans are eagerly awaiting the new album with PARTYNEXTDOOR, which he cites as one of his proudest creations.
As Rolling Loud moves on without Drake, the world waits to see his next big move.
