Rolling Loud Miami has finally announced its lineup for this year's festival, and it is as star-studded as last year's roster of performers.

Kanye West (legally known as Ye), Kendrick Lamar, and Future will headline this year's Rolling Loud Miami 2022 along with other artists.

Running for three days, July 22, 23, and 24 this year, the festival will also feature the likes of Playboi Carti, Lil Durk, 2 Chainz, Don Toliver, Gunna, City Girls, Latto, and the controversial DaBaby.

Ye will open the festival with Saweetie, Bia, Fivio Foreign, and Three 6 Mafia on July 22.

Meanwhile, Future will be joined on the following day by Lil Uzi Vert, Soulja Boy, Ski Mask the Slump God, and Gucci Mane, among others.

Kodak Black, Baby Keem, Moneybagg Yo, Trippie Redd will accompany recent Super Bowl LVI Halftime performer Kendrick Lamar on stage for its closing day on July 24.

Headlining Rolling Loud's 2021 California leg, this Miami lineup marks Future's second time headlining the festival. Last year, the rapper-producer brought out Ye as a special guest for his set on his California appearance.

Joining Future on his second day is DaBaby, who made headlines on his controversial comments on last year's Rolling Loud Miami.

Since included in the second day's bill, DaBaby makes his way on the Rolling Loud stage again after his infamous stint last year. The then-"Levitating" collaborator faced backlash over his homophobic comments during his performance at the festival.

"If you didn't show up today with HIV, AIDS, any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that'll make you die in two or three weeks, put your cellphone light up," he said.

DaBaby continued on his slurs, now with undertones of homophobia: "Ladies, if your pussy smell like water, put your cellphone light up. Fellas, if you ain't sucking dick in the parking lot, put your cellphone light up."

After facing a massive backlash on his comments, DaBaby took to Instagram and took a swipe at his haters, who he claimed brought "negative attention and energy."

Dua Lipa then dropped him on "Levitating" as numerous festivals followed like Lollapalooza, Austin City Limits, and even the Governor's Ball. He apologized later on to HIV and AIDS organization for his "inaccurate and hurtful" statements.
