Lil Wayne Speaks Out After Not Showing Up to Opening Night of His Tour

Lil Wayne Cancels Toronto Concert Due to “Unforeseen Illness”

Lil Wayne isn’t trying to be a crook and steal his fans’ hearts.

After the “How to Love” rapper abruptly missed opening night of his 20 Years of Carter Classics tour at Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor, he said he was sorry times a milli.

“My Maine fans,” Lil Wayne (real name Dwayne Michael Carter) wrote in a July 1 Instagram Story. “I’m so sorry. The show is being rescheduled for July 28. Please hold on to your tickets, they will be honored for the rescheduled date. More information will be emailed directly to the ticketholders.”

The 43-year-old emphasized that he won’t let his fans down again.

“I ain’t s--t without you,” he continued. “I can’t wait to come back and give you the show you deserve.”

Lil Wayne’s attempt to make his fans feel right comes after he abruptly skipped opening night of his tour’s kickoff show June 30, despite opener 2 Chainz (real name Tauheed Epps) making his slot, as well as a DJ temporarily stepping out to appease the crowd.

At his 10:45 p.m. time slot, Lil Wayne did not come to the stage, and by 11 p.m., fans were told he was not performing and to leave the venue.

“Well, I came here for Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, and it was the most terrible experience,” concertgoer Rita Sack told local news station WABI. “We drove over six hours to be here.”

Indeed, Sack admitted she thought Lil Wayne could have at least come out and said "Sorry 4 The Wait."

“The least you can do is come out for a minute, apologize, you know?” Sack continued. “Like, just take the moment and be like, 'Hey guys, sorry, not feeling it, feeling a little sick.’”

And after Lil Wayne initially returned to social media July 1 to post about something unrelated to his unexplained absence, many fans flooded the comments of his X post with disappointment in him.

“I was front row at the Maine show,” an X user wrote in a post. “My fiancé and I were so excited to see you! It was a gift for her and you ruined the night by not showing up! Sucks man! A lot of fans disappointed including one of your biggest!”
