Lil Wayne Abruptly Ends L.A. Show Because Crowd Had Low Energy

Lil Wayne wasn’t feeling the love during a recent show in L.A.

On Saturday night, the rapper took the stage at the Wiltern in Los Angles for the last stop of his Welcome to Tha Carter tour. Only 30 minutes into the show, the rapper left the stage due to a low energy crowd.

According to those in attendance, Wayne took the stage 3 hours late. Once he was on, he performed for half an hour and brought out surprise guest 2 Chainz before taking a break and giving the stage over to his Young Money artists Lil Twist, Yaj Kader and Allan Cubas.

The crowd was reportedly not happy with Wayne’s exit from the stage. Before Cubas could perform his second song, Wayne returned to the stage and told Cubas not to sing anymore.

“We appreciate it, but we ain’t about to be bending over backwards for these folks. We work too hard for this s—. We work way too hard,” the “How to Love” rapper told Cubas, per a video shared by an attendee on Twitter.

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. #wiltern #lilwayne pic.twitter.com/hB9u4DfHof

He then turned to the crowd and said, “This my motherf—er’ artist Allan, that was Twist, that was Yaj. We are Young Money. We appreciate y’all time.”

Of course fans were livid and expressed anger, disappointment, disbelief, and frustration online.

The “A Milli” MC has yet to respond to backlash or address the show’s abrupt end in any way.
