GloRilla, Gunna, Ja Rule and more will be taking the stage at this year’s Hot 97 Summer Jam concert in New Jersey.
Going down on June 20 at the Prudential Center in Newark, additional acts include A Boogie, Muni Long, Asake, Ayra Starr, Kash Doll, Bobby Konders and Jabba featuring Masicka, Jim Jones & Friends, Cash Cobain and 41 (comprised of Kyle Rich, Jenn Carter and Tata).
Like Capo, Ja Rule’s set is also being dubbed as “and friends,” and will serve as a tribute to the late Irv Gotti.
Pre-sale starts on Wednesday (April 2) at 10am on Ticketmaster.
Last year, Method Man took to social media following his performance at the annual festival to say that he’d never return to Summer Jam because of the generation gap.

“Not our crowd at all,” he wrote in the comments section of an Instagram post of his performance. “Thanks again, New York and the whole tri-state (that showed up to the event) plus Pete [Rosenberg] and Ebro [Darden]. I got love for you guys, but never again.. at this point the generation gap is just too wide for me.. #nevercomingback”
While some people took offense, the Wu-Tang Clan spitter received support from Soulja Boy when he was asked about the situation by TMZ photogs.
“I don’t think he mean that. He probably just in his feelings,” he said. “He probably gon’ perform at a future event, you know what I’m saying? But shout out to him. People got different … I don’t know. That’s New York, though. Everybody supposed to know who he is.
“It don’t matter. That’s crazy. I didn’t know that. There probably was a lot of young people in the audience. Shout out to him. He’s definitely a legend, for sure. He entitled to respond however he feel like. It’s gon’ be all good.”

Hopefully GloRilla’s set won’t go like her recent show in St. Louis, which had to be shut down after multiple altercations broke out in the crowd throughout the night.
At least three separate times while Glo was performing, she stopped the show to address the crowd.
“Stop the music again,” she said at one point. “They done started the shit up again! Calm the fuck down, shit! The fuck is the problem? I think y’all came for the wrong show. Y’all supposed to be at WWE. It’s not WWE, guys.”
Eventually, she had to end things all together.

“Aight y’all, I’m sorry. We gotta end the show right here,” she told the crowd. “We gotta end the show, St. Louis. It’s another muthafuckin’ fight. I love y’all. I don’t wanna do this, but we gotta make sure it’s safety first.”
