A$AP Rocky made a spectacular entrance at Rolling Loud California 2025.
Taking a page from Travis Scott’s playbook, the 36-year-old Harlem rapper made a dramatic entrance for his headlining set at the music festival on Saturday (March 15), descending onto the stage from a helicopter that hovered over the massive crowd at Hollywood Park in Inglewood, Calif.
Seated in the black chopper, which was emblazoned with the title of his long-awaited upcoming album, Don’t Be Dumb, Rocky performed an unreleased track, rumored to be called “All Black (Stole Ya Flow).” He first debuted the song at Rolling Loud Miami 2023.
Once lowered onto the stage, the hip-hop star launched into a high-energy set that included hits like “A$AP Forever,” “RIOT (Rowdy Pipe’n)” and “Tailor Swif,” as well as the debut of another unreleased song, the Metro Boomin-produced “Your Honor.” Rocky also invited Skepta on stage for a live duet of 2018’s “Praise the Lord (Da Shine)” before closing out his performance with “Lord Pretty Flacko Jodye 2.”
With his partner Rihanna cheering him on from the crowd, this marked A$AP’s first live performance since being acquitted of two felony counts of assault with a semiautomatic firearm in Los Angeles. A fan-captured video from the set featured a brief video montage documenting his trial.
Saturday’s Rolling Loud California also saw appearances from YG, Sexyy Red, Peso Pluma and BossMan Dlow. The fest continues on Sunday (March 16) with performances by Playboi Carti, Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, Quavo and more.
In February, A$AP shared an update on his upcoming fourth album, Don’t Be Dumb, during a conversation with GQ. An official release date for the album has not yet been announced.
“I’m in the mixing and mastering realm of it,” he told the magazine. “But I think quite frankly, people are tired of hearing about updates about the album. They’re just ready to get this s—, you know what I’m saying? I don’t think anybody wants to hear where I’m at with it, how far is it along and all that. They just want to hear some s— just to see where I’m at, and I promise I got some new s— in store. I’m challenging myself. It’s like anything, I approach it with a different tactic, degree, or finesse.”
