Drake’s Canceled Lollapalooza Brasil Set Prompts Fans To Get Refunds

by

Drake unfortunately canceled his headlining Lollapalooza Brasil set, scheduled for Sunday (March 26), and disappointment quickly turned to anger. Moreover, fans expressed outrage that he was spotted hanging out at a Miami club with 50 Cent that weekend, although the official explanation of the canceled show tells a different story. Regardless, Skrillex replaced the 6 God as headliner, and the festival is now offering fans refunds for their troubles. Not only that, but with the cancelation coming just hours before he was set to perform, this left quite the sour taste in people’s mouths.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Drake is without members of his sound and production team, essential to the realization of the Lollapalooza show in Sao Paulo,” Lolla Brasil’s IG page posted on Sunday. “Drake was excited to perform for his fans in Brazil. Unfortunately, this is beyond his control. Apologies.” In its caption, they outlined refund policies, stating that fans could request one until April 5th and a variety of plans for each ticket category. Between his outing with 50 and his other performance controversies, Latin American fans aren’t happy at all with the “Rich Flex” MC.

Lollapalooza Brasil Offers Refunds For Canceled Drake Set

Direct translation: “Alert, important information! In view of this cancellation, we will liberally make available to the holders of the purchase of tickets for the Lolla Day, Lolla Comfort Day and Lolla Lounge Day modalities on 03/26 the possibility of keeping the ticket active and attending the event, or requesting a refund of the value of the ticket. To be entitled to the refund, the ticket of the modalities indicated above may not have been used for access to the festival on 03/26. The link to the Refund Policy will be available soon on the official website: www.lollapaloozabr.com/politica-de-ingressos“

Moreover, his Lollapalooza Argentina set faced a myriad of issues and controversial developments, although he at least performed. However, he apparently came out 15 minutes late for his set according to fan testimonies. Also, he reportedly retracted a previous agreement to livestream the show just minutes before emerging out to the crowd, which left fans at home confused and disappointed. Finally, it seems like his show lasted only about 45 minutes or so, which is far from the typical hour or hour-and-a-half slot many headliners use up.

Meanwhile in the States, a lot of fans blasted insanely high ticket prices for his tour with 21 Savage. In fact, Ticketmaster received a class-action lawsuit for allegedly boosting price ranges up to an absurd amount, likely due to demand. While Ticketmaster controversies are practically a given at this point, it’s odd to see Drake garner flack for his first few performances in quite a long time. One would think that he’d be excited and committed to performing at a high caliber for his massive audience. Hopefully these instances are due to bad luck and poor planning, and not the 36-year-old’s own carelessness and dismissal of his fans and agreements. Regardless, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Drake.

Drake Cursed Out By Brazilian Fans Over 50 Cent Link-Up

by

Brazilian fans won’t welcome Drake again, mainly after canceling his set at Lollapalooza Brazil to link-up with 50 Cent. The “God’s Plan” rapper performed across Latin America this month ahead of his massive North American tour with 21 Savage. Unfortunately, hours before his set at Lollapalooza Brasil, the festival announced that he wouldn’t perform anymore. Apparently, the rapper lacked essential team members for his live show.

“Due to unforeseen circumstances, Drake is without members of his sound and production team, essential to the realization of the Lollapalooza show in Sao Paulo,” reads a translated statement read on the festival’s social media pages. “Drake was excited to perform for his fans in Brazil. Unfortunately, this is beyond his control. Sorry.” Shortly afterward, though, Drizzy and 50 Cent linked up in a club in Miami. Many of his fans at the festival weren’t happy, even after Lolla Brasil offered refunds for replacing the Canadian star with Skrillex.

Lollapalooza Brazil Attendees Bash Drake

Before the news hit social media, a festival organizer emerged on stage to break the news to the audience and they were not happy about it. The crowd began to chant in Portuguese out of frustration at Drake’s cancellation. However, fans were even more vocal on social media after he and 50 Cent linked up at a Miami nightclub. “DRAKE CANCELLED HIS HEADLINING SLOT AT LOLLAPALOOZA BRAZIL SO HE COULD GO TO THE CLUB IN MIAMI WITH 50 CENT,” one fan wrote. “GRINGOS IN FUCKING LATIN AMERICA. I HATE Y’ALL.”

Unfortunately, there are other people who simply want to have Drizzy banned from festivals, at least the ones that took place in Latin America in the last week. Drake faced backlash after performing a relatively short set at Lollapalooza Argentina – 40 to 50 minutes – which is significantly shorter than most main festival acts. On top of that, he reportedly canceled a scheduled live stream of his set, leaving many of his fans who couldn’t attend the festival frustrated at home. Check out a few reactions below and sound off with your thoughts in the comments.
