Drake Declines Rolling Loud Headlining Offer

Rolling Loud co-founder Tariq Cherif revealed that despite numerous attempts, Drake has consistently declined offers to headline the festival, which has included a unique three-night headlining proposal. Cherif expressed his belief that Drake is 'ducking' the festival, stating, 'I got no beef with Drake... we’ve been trying to book him forever.' While the festival has hosted major names since its inception, Cherif's frustration highlights Drake's absence, particularly given his stature in the hip-hop community. The co-founder hinted that another festival is trying to secure a similar deal with Drake, but did not specify which one. Despite a challenging year, Drake remains the best-selling rapper of 2024, solidifying his status in the industry, but his refusal to join Rolling Loud continues to puzzle fans and insiders alike. The ongoing tension raises questions about Drake's relationship with the festival and his future appearances.
