Lil Wayne Arrives Late To Metro Metro Festival, Performs For Only 15 Minutes

by

Lil Wayne performed at Montreal’s Metro Metro Festival on Friday, but due to the rapper arriving late, his set only lasted 15 minutes. He was scheduled to go on at 10 p.m., however, he arrived at 10:45 p.m. Fans chanted “Weezy” as the performance came to a close. The festival later responded to the incident, simply writing, “We apologize for Lil Wayne‘s abbreviated performance. He arrived at the festival at 10:45 and curfew is at 11.” Lil Wayne headlined the first day of the festival, and the following days saw headlining sets from Jack Harlow and Lil Baby.

A similar incident occurred in April, when Lil Wayne performed a 30-minute set at The Wiltern in Los Angeles. The final Welcome to Tha Carter Tour performance was cut short due to the rapper feeling as though the crowd wasn’t giving him what he deserved. He told his audience, “We appreciate it, but we ain’t about to be bending over backwards for these folks.” Lil Wayne continued, closing the show with, “We work too hard for this shit, we work way too hard. This my motherf***in’ artist Allan, that was Twist, that was Yaj; we are Young Money. We appreciate y’all time.”

Charlamagne Tha God later spoke on the April incident on The Breakfast Club podcast. He called the move “corny,” adding, “You can’t be upset because the crowd not feeling your artist.” Charlamagne also explained, “I’m sure Wayne has been there before. I’m sure that the was a time he might’ve brought, even a Drake out way way way back in the day and people weren’t paying attention to Drake. Or he might’ve brought a Nicki out way way way back in the day and people weren’t paying attention to Nicki. Or Tyga. All of these people who ended up blowing up. Everybody starts somewhere.”

At the same April performance, Lil Wayne also told his audience, “I am the realest motherf***er in the game right now.” He added, “Ladies and gentlemen, I don’t give a f**k what you think you’re looking at, but you are looking at the best rapper alive.”

Trippie Redd Fans Demand Refund After Late Concert

by

Trippie Redd fans are demanding a refund after a Richmond, Virginia concert on Sunday night (January 22) went sour. Moreover, this news comes on the heels of his most recent album, MANSION MUSIK. While the album got its fair share of energetic praise and disappointed criticism, its first week sales numbers share a more objective story.

Furthermore, MANSION MUSIK is expected to move 55,000 album equivalent units in its first week. Many on social media claim that this equals around half a million U.S. dollars. Still, a few people seem quite disappointed with these numbers, as they always tend to be. “Bro had 60 features on it but couldn’t even crack 60k he done for,” one user commented on DJ Akademiks’ Instagram post with the projection.

However, fans are probably more mad at the Ohio MC’s recent concert antics, even if they probably aren’t fully his fault. Reportedly, Trippie’s Sunday night show at the Rehab in Richmond, Virginia caused many to demand a refund. Moreover, fans claim that doors opened at 10pm and he didn’t show up until 3am. One particular TikTok clip floating around social media said that the rapper “had no stage presence at all.”

Even though this show probably won’t net Trippie any more sales, hopefully it’s an exception to his live performances. Still, MANSION MUSIK‘s perceived underwhelming performance can’t be completely owed to the “Miss The Rage” artist. Furthermore, a lot of people expressed disappointment with the features on the project, including star streamer Kai Cenat.

Moreover, his reaction to Lil Baby’s verse on the Future-assisted track “FULLY LOADED” went viral for its hilarity. In fact, Baby’s another artist facing strong claims of mid on the Internet at the moment. However, with both artists still keeping their core fans in the palm of their hand, the hate will likely dissipate with time.

Still, what do you think about Trippie Redd fans demanding a refund for his Richmond, Virginia concert and MANSION MUSIK‘s first-week sales? Whatever the case, let us know in the comments down below. Also, as always, stay tuned to HNHH for more performance highlights, controversies, and viral moments in the game.
