Lil Wayne Speaks Out After Not Showing Up to Opening Night of His Tour
Lil Wayne is annihilating the speculation around him.
The "A Milli" rapper shut down reports that he got engaged earlier this year, clarifying that he recently split from his unidentified former girlfriend.
"I know I don’t give y’all a lot of content, especially a lot of personal content, but I would like to clear something up," Lil Wayne said in a video posted to Instagram July 5. "No, I’m not engaged. No, no. I had a beautiful thing going with an amazing person…I don’t want to be such a burden on such an amazing person."
"So, we decided to part," he clarified. "But no, not engaged."
Earlier in the video, the 43-year-old had provided more context for missing the opening night of his 20 Years of Carter Classics tour in Bangor, Maine, on June 30, despite opener 2 Chainz performing as scheduled.
"I gotta motherf--king apologize to you personally again," Lil Wayne said. "For real, for real. Sorry for missing that show the other night."
The "Lollipop" hitmaker went on to explain that unexpected health problems contributed to his inability to perform that night.
"Listen, I have epilepsy and I have seizures, right?" he said. "Thank God I haven’t had a seizure in years. But seizures have triggers. The trigger to my seizures are badass migraines. Had a badass migraine that night.”
Noting that he was able to make some of his other shows as scheduled, albeit late, Lil Wayne expressed joy over his forthcoming concerts.

"So for those people, I swear to God, I will do whatever I can to make sure they get you your refund. And I apologize to you too. I really, really, really do."
