Lil Wayne also canceled his Rolling Loud hours before his scheduled performance. The rapper informed fans about his decision, claiming he refused to be "checked" on by police.

To all my fans who came to see me at Rolling Loud, I’m sorry but I won’t be performing. The Festival Police (Not Rolling Loud) made it mandatory that I had to be policed and checked to get on the stadium grounds. I do not and will not ever settle for being policed to do my job
