Lil Wayne Blames the Crowd After Abruptly Canceling Concert
Lil Wayne didn't seem to be too happy with his fans on the last stop of his tour this weekend.
The 40-year-old "Lollipop" rapper was set to close out his "Welcome to Tha Carter Tour" on Sat., May 13, but things took a turn when he appeared to be upset with the spiritless crowd.
Wayne was reportedly an hour late to the stage, and when the rapper finally showed up to perform, he only stayed for 30 minutes, bringing out surprise guest 2 Chainz before handing the stage off to his Young Money artists Lil Twist, Yaj Kader, and Allan Cubas.
Cubas performed one song before Wayne made a return to the stage to shut everything down, leaving fans baffled by his actions.
"We appreciate it, but we ain't about to be bending over backwards for these folks. We work too hard for this s--t. We work way too hard," the "6 Foot 7 Foot" rapper told Cubas. "This my motherf---er' artist Allan, that was Twist, that was Yaj. We are Young Money. We appreciate y'all time," Wayne said before placing his microphone on the ground and walking off the stage as Cubas followed behind him.

Many fans were upset with the rapper's decision to abruptly end the show and took to their Twitter accounts to express their frustrations.
"I will never go to another Lil Wayne concert again after he arrived 3.5 hours late then performed for 30 had intermission put his new artist to perform then came out and canceled the rest of the concert because the crowd wasn’t hype enough for his new artist," one fan wrote.

This isn't the first time the rapper canceled a show during his 2023 tour. Wayne previously called off his show in Atlanta "due to unforeseen circumstances" less than 2 hours before showtime, letting fans know he would reschedule. Although, this time around was seemingly more abrupt.
