MIAMI — Mykia Powell didn’t buy her Rolling Loud ticket just for Kanye Omari West.
The South Miami-Dade resident had been itching to get back since the 2019 festival — “you can’t beat it,” she recalled — yet Powell would be lying if she said potentially seeing West didn’t influence her purchase. Then she saw the news that the self-described “Shakespeare in the flesh” had pulled out five days before his July 22 performance.
“He’s the reason why a lot of people got tickets this year,” Powell said. “I already plan on leaving early that day. It’s that disappointing.”
