Pop Smoke was one of five rappers removed from this weekend’s Rolling Loud music festival in Queens after the police expressed security concerns. Five rappers with New York roots were removed from the local edition of the traveling hip-hop festival Rolling Loud, scheduled for this weekend in Queens, at the behest of the New York Police Department, representatives for the concert said on Saturday. The move came after Martin Morales, an assistant chief at the Police Department, sent the festival organizers a letter on Wednesday requesting the removal of five artists #22Gz #Casanova #PopSmoke #SheffG and #DonQ citing safety concerns. The performers, who were among several dozen scheduled to join blockbuster acts like Travis Scott, Wu-Tang Clan and Meek Mill at Citi Field, “have been affiliated with recent acts of violence citywide,” the department said in its letter. “The New York City Police Department believes if these individuals are allowed to perform, there will be a higher risk of violence.” The NYPD sent a letter telling Rolling Loud to remove them from their lineup due to history of violence. Rolling Loud confirmed receipt of the letter and said that the artists had been taken off the lineup. The festival declined to comment further. Representatives for Casanova, Don Q, Sheff G and Pop Smoke confirmed they had been removed from the bill. 22Gz could not immediately be reached for comment. Each of the artists cited by the Police Department has had encounters with law enforcement. #worldstar #concert #hiphop #rap #newyork https://www.instagram.com/p/B3h8ldSjxZv/?igshid=18o6u51kbb07z
