The hometown hero, known for his dynamic stage presence and hit tracks, delivered a spectacular performance that left the audience in awe and solidified his status as New Orleans’ next superstar. This event follows his most recent release, “Off Dat Drank,” which received rave reviews from fans.
The star-studded affair featured vibrant performances by some of the top young acts in the industry, including Sexyy Red, Moneybagg Yo, Polo G, No Cap, Fredo Bang, Hunxho, Bossman Dlow, YTB Fatt, YD the Illest, and Supabad.

The evening also saw Rob49 receiving honors from both the New Orleans Mayor’s office and the City Council, celebrating his contributions to the music scene and his positive impact on the community. Ahead of Father’s Day, he made a generous gesture by bailing out several fathers for non-violent crimes, allowing them to reunite with their families. Additionally, he partnered with Ethika to distribute free merchandise to fans in the French Quarter.
Rob49’s homecoming was a triumphant celebration of his rise to stardom, marked by cheers and applause from the 15,000 fans in attendance.
