New York knows how to party. The Rolling Loud Festival at Citi Field kicked off on Friday (Sept. 23) with the help of some of hip-hop’s most beloved performers: Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Baby, Don Toliver, joined by Kali Uchis, and headliners Future and A$AP Rocky — who arrived in the company of none other than Rihanna.
Nicki Minaj made history as the first female rapper to headline, and with the advantage of being in her home city of Queens, she sealed day one of the festivities with a high-energy performance alongside special guests Bia, G Herbo, Fivio Foreign and Uzi.
