Playboi Carti Stuns Rolling Loud California with 'Music' Live Debut

The rapper's record-breaking album launch featured guest appearances, crowd management challenges, and a dynamic live performance.

Playboi Carti headlined the final night of Rolling Loud California 2025, performing tracks from his new album 'Music,' which broke Spotify streaming records upon release.
The performance included high-profile guest appearances by The Weeknd, Skepta, and streamer Kai Cenat, with Carti and The Weeknd performing their collaborations 'Rather Lie' and 'Timeless.'
Safety concerns arose during the set as some attendees fainted, prompting a temporary pause and crowd control measures to ensure audience safety.
Kai Cenat, a popular streamer, joined Carti on stage, assisting with crowd control and receiving a 'YVL' chain as a gesture of appreciation from the rapper.
Carti's new album 'Music' features collaborations with major artists like The Weeknd, Kendrick Lamar, and Lil Uzi Vert, solidifying his influence as a boundary-pushing figure in modern rap.
