More about Lovers and Friends Festival

The festival was first announced in 2019 and was scheduled for two separate dates in 2020. It kept getting rescheduled because of the Covid-19 pandemic, which will finally occur in May.

Lovers & Friends is presented by Live Nation, Snoop Dogg, and Bobby Dee. The festival has had its share of controversy. When the lineup was first announced in 2019, Lil Kim noted that she was not a part of the festival, although her name appeared on the artist lineup, raising questions about the authenticity of the festival.

The artist later confirmed that she was performing at the festival by writing on Instagram:

"The cheque has cleared"

The festival's name is apparently after a song after the American rap group Lovers and Friends by the American rap group of Lil Jon & the East Side Boyz. The song features American musician Usher and American rapper Ludacris from the group's fifth and final studio album, Crunk Juice (2004).

The song was written by Lil Jon, Usher, Ludacris, and Michael Sterling. The song is featured as an R&B slow jam and consists of a piano melody and hook and contains a sample of Sterling's song of the same name.
