Kanye West’s Rolling Loud Performance Breaks up an All Out Brawl at the Music Festival
Over the years, Kanye West’s controversial behavior and rather out-of-pocket opinions have made the star known for getting into feuds with fans, other celebrities, and even his former lovers. With the rapper seeming to stay a little weary of the spotlight these days, the tables seemed to have turned. Instead of starting fights online, the rapper now seems to be stopping brawls with the power of his music.
Recently, the 46-year-old headlined the Rolling Loud music festival. However, fans thought it to be a bust except for one violent mosh pit that briefly drew attention away from West on stage.

Just days ago, Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign stunned the world when they headlined the Rolling Loud music festival. Although fans had expected the 46-year-old to perform his tracks from ‘Vultures 1’, he ended up hosting another listening event. Shortly after day 1 of the music festival ended, concertgoers took to X (formerly Twitter) to share videos of a nasty fight that took place during the rapper’s set.
In the clip that made its way online, a man and a transgender woman had gotten into a fistfight that left the LGBTQIA+ member battered and bruised. While the reason behind the brawl has remained unknown, the video showed the fight dissolving into the crowd with Ye’s music playing in the background. Although people were initially clued in on the fight, their attention soon switched back to the 46-year-old on stage.
While the fans in the video seemed to enjoy West’s set, not everyone present seemed to share those feelings. However, that did not affect the rapper in the least.

Fans might have wanted Kanye West to pick up a microphone and make an epic comeback to music festivals after he bailed on Coachella in 2022. However, that did not end up happening. Instead, the rapper chose to hold another listening party for his ‘Vultures 1’ album at Rolling Loud. While not everyone was pleased, shortly after the set, the 46-year-old told BigBoyTv why he chose not to perform with a mic.
West told the host that he believed that “people just came for the experience,” not the father of four’s performance. He also added that his shows were “better” than other artists. While not all of Ye’s fans agreed with him, the rapper stuck to his guns. The ‘ Good Morning’ rapper also shared issues that he had faced with the set that messed up his performance.
