Lil Uzi Vert Reportedly Cancels Rolling Loud Australia Appearance for ‘Undisclosed Reasons’
Written by SOURCE on January 27, 2019
There’s been a shake-up in the 2019 Rolling Loud Australia lineup.
On Saturday, live music discovery app Whatslively reported Lil Uzi Vert had pulled out of the inaugural event for “undisclosed reasons.” Though festival organizers did not announce the news, their newly posted set schedule reflects the changes:
As you can see, Lil Uzi is no longer listed in the lineup, nor is his previously collaborator Ski Mask the Slump God. Whatslively reported Ski Mask was forced to scrap his appearance because of issues with his passport. Lil Uzi’s slot will be filled by Rae Sremmurd and a “special guest,” who is believed to be Gunna.
Again, Whatslively did not specify why Lil Uzi decided to drop out of the event, but it’s safe to say it has something to do with his recently announced retirement.
Earlier this month, the Philadelphia rapper went to Instagram claiming he had deleted all of his material and that he was “done” with music.
“I wanna take the time out to say I thank each and every one of my supporters but I’m done with Music,” he wrote on his Insta-Stories. “I deleted everything. I wanna be normal … I wanna wake up in 2013. You are free.”
On Tuesday, Lil Uzi shared another Instagram story that gave fans a little hope: “Wish I still could go to the studio,” he wrote over a photo of himself, “just reminiscing.”
