A$AP Rocky Apologizes for Short Rolling Loud Set, Fans Upset Over Timing

A$AP Rocky is apologizing for his truncated Rolling Loud set — but the reasons for the short performance are getting under some people’s skin … particularly, clock management.

The rapper was on duty Saturday night in NYC, where he hit the Fashion Nova stage pretty late into the evening … around 9:45 PM, we’re told. He was able to do just two songs, this in between what people are saying was a lot of chatter about moshing with the crowd.

In the end, his show came to an abrupt halt right around 10 PM … something A$AP was visibly upset about in the moment, with his DJ issuing a mea culpa right on the spot.

Not only was Rocky mad, but some folks on the ground were pissed too … saying he was quite late, and that he should’ve just stuck to pure performing instead of all the side speeches he was giving. A handful of people also feel like it wasn’t Rocky’s greatest outing.

Sources connected to the event tell TMZ … yeah, AR was very tardy here. We’re told he was supposed to be up there at 8:55 PM, but didn’t go on until a good 45 minutes later. Our sources say the reason festival organizers hit the kill switch is because of a noise ordinance that was in place before things got underway … and they were clearly aiming to respect it.

Rocky himself is owning up to it, taking to social media to say he’s sorry for the way things unfolded … and takes full responsibility. He didn’t really acknowledge timing at all, but it seems he’s absorbing most of the blame and promising to deliver next time.
