A$AP Rocky’s explosive Rolling Loud performance sparks rap beef debate

A$AP Rocky calls out rap rivals and A$AP Relli at Rolling Loud California while performing with Skepta.

A$AP Rocky made headlines at Rolling Loud California 2025, delivering a fiery performance that included direct shots at rap rivals and former A$AP Mob associate, A$AP Relli.

During his set, the Harlem rapper debuted a new track featuring pointed lyrics that seemingly addressed the ongoing Big 3 rap beef involving Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar.

Rocky rapped, "I ain't on J. Cole, I ain't on Drake, I ain't on Kendrick side / I choose homicide, they gon' see a different side," making it clear he’s staying neutral while embracing an aggressive stance. Another line, "N****s do the most when they irrelevant / Claiming A$AP, but we were never friends," appeared to target A$AP Relli, who previously filed a lawsuit against Rocky.

Adding to the hype, Rocky reunited with UK grime legend Skepta to perform their 2018 hit "Praise The Lord (Da Shine)," which fans on social media platform X (formerly Twitter) hailed as the "Greatest USA X UK collaboration of all time."

The viral moment sparked fan reactions, with users calling Rocky "the king of Rolling Loud" and demanding the track be recognized as an anthem. Skepta’s presence further intensified the conversation, as he played a pivotal role in bringing UK grime to the global stage.

With hip-hop’s biggest names engaged in lyrical warfare, A$AP Rocky’s latest performance proves he’s still a force to be reckoned with in the rap game.
