CALIFORNIA – A$AP Rocky set Rolling Loud California 2025 ablaze on Saturday night with a fiery show that doubled as a lyrical bombshell, reigniting rap feud chatter and thrilling fans worldwide, including Pakistan’s hip-hop faithful. Today Pakistan News dives into the Harlem rapper’s headline-grabbing set, where he took aim at rivals and dropped a nostalgic collab with UK grime icon Skepta.
Rocky debuted a new track mid-performance, unloading verses that sliced through hip-hop’s simmering “Big 3” beef—Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar. “I ain’t on J. Cole, I ain’t on Drake, I ain’t on Kendrick side / I choose homicide, they gon’ see a different side,” he spat, signaling neutrality with a menacing twist. Another jab, “N****s do the most when they irrelevant / Claiming A$AP, but we were never friends,” seemed to zero in on A$AP Relli, a former A$AP Mob ally who sued Rocky in 2022 over an alleged shooting. The crowd erupted, and X lit up with debate: Is Rocky stoking a new rap war?
The heat didn’t stop there. Rocky brought out Skepta for a electrifying rendition of their 2018 banger “Praise The Lord (Da Shine),” a moment X users crowned “the greatest USA X UK collab ever” (X Post 0). Skepta, a grime pioneer, traded bars with Rocky under Rolling Loud’s neon glow, cementing their transatlantic legacy. “That energy was unreal,” tweeted a fan from Karachi, echoing Pakistan’s growing rap fandom.
Social media buzzed post-set, with posts hailing Rocky as “the king of Rolling Loud” (X Post 3) and pushing his new track as an instant anthem. The Relli diss reignited old tensions—Relli’s lawsuit claimed Rocky shot at him, a case settled out of court—but Rocky’s stage swagger showed he’s unfazed. Meanwhile, his sidestepping of the Big 3 feud positions him as a wildcard in hip-hop’s power plays.
For Pakistan, where rap’s global pulse resonates, Rocky’s performance underscores his staying power. “He’s still the sharpest in the game,” said Lahore enthusiast Zain Malik. As Rolling Loud California 2025 wraps, this fiery night proves A$AP Rocky remains a rap titan.
