There's still one more day of performances to take in at Rolling Loud California, but already, fans have seen so many noteworthy hip-hop moments. On Friday (March 3), the energy appeared to be all over the place as crowds failed to generate hype during Soulja Boy's set and even threw a water bottle at Kodak Black. The evening ended with a headlining show from Playboi Carti, who left audiences pleased as he delivered them new music, but still wound up ending early due to a fan injury.

On Saturday (March 4), the heat turned up even more thanks to artists like BIA, who debuted her new "SIXTEEN" single, as well as Lil Yachty, Kevin Gates, Lil Baby, and Don Toliver. The latter previously released his Love Sick album, and recruited his frequent collaborator, Justin Bieber, to join him on stage for their "Private Landing" song. As if that weren't already enough, Kali Uchis and James Blake came through to help too.

2 Chainz Comes Out for "Duffle Bag Boy"

Elsewhere, Lil Wayne's set also saw plenty of surprise guests keeping Rolling Loud attendees entertained. Acting as the festival's special guest headliner, Weezy obviously didn't hesitate to bring big energy to the stage. Among those joining him was 2 Chainz, who went all out as the pair rapped their fan-favourite joint effort, "Duffle Bag Boy."

The Louisana-born artist also shocked the crowd by tapping Gudda Gudda to join him for the YMCMB classic, "Bed Rock," and he wasn't the only lyricist who showed out on his verse. Nicki Minaj also showed up to support Wayne, joining him for their throwback hit, as well as some more recent collaborations. "Truffle Butter," which dropped in early 2015, was on their setlist, as well as a few solo tracks from the Queen of Rap herself.

Nicki Minaj's Surprise Performance Breaks Necks

The "How to Love" hitmaker and his female guest also teamed up for "High School," taking us way back in time to 2013. She also gave an energized performance of last year's "Super Freaky Girl," and reportedly planned to give the audience more, but wasn't able to due to issues with the DJ's audio.
