I’ve seen this video from Rolling Loud last weekend floating around, and it feels like a good time to share a conversation I had last year.
I was talking with a notable festival promoter last fall who directly told me they had largely stopped booking rap and hip-hop acts for one major reason: insurance.
According to them, many insurance companies were dramatically increasing premiums whenever those artists were on the lineup because they viewed the associated crowd risk as “significantly higher” than other genres of music.
Those aren’t my words…that was directly from someone dealing with (and paying for) the logistics + insurance coverage of events.
So if you start seeing certain artists slowly disappear from mixed-genre festivals or specific markets, situations like the above are absolutely part of the equation whether people realize it or not.

NEW: Texas attorney Michael Phillips confronted after allegedly saying a racial slur in a custody trial.
"Mr. N*gga N*gga N*gga right here. Yeah, that's your a$$... Call me a n*gga... C'mon..."
Phillips was found in contempt for allegedly using a racial slur "numerous times in court in a derisive manner."
He was sentenced to three days in jail and fined $500. Both punishments were suspended with a written apology.
Phillips has disputed the allegations, saying the slur was used during an evidentiary argument while objecting to testimony and language that had allegedly been introduced during trial proceedings, according to Click2Houston.
Phillips says he apologized immediately.
