According to Page Six, Lil Wayne, who ultimately canceled his performance, was searched, but wasn’t arrested.
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

Well, I can’t imagine the fans who bought tickets to Rolling Loud were too happy with this development. Kodak Black and Lil Wayne are two of the biggest names in the music game, and neither one actually hit the stage.
Lil Wayne might have backed out voluntarily, but it sounds like Kodak Black might be in some serious trouble. Of course, he’s innocent until proven guilty, but this sounds very serious.
Federal authorities don’t show up for minor issues.

I would be irate if spent a ton of money to watch two of the most famous rappers alive perform, and neither did. That would send me over the top.
Check back for more details when we have them. It sounds like Kodak Black might want to give his lawyer a call.
