Hip-Hop icon Lil Wayne cancels gig just one hour before performance after an ‘unforeseen illness’.
Lil Wayne was supposed to perform at the Budweiser Stage in Toronto on August 11; however, fans were left staring at a screen announcing the show was postponed due to an ‘unforeseen illness.’
Lil Wayne was scheduled to perform for his Canadian fans as part of his ‘Tha Carter VI Tour’, which kicked off in June and is set to continue until October.
The screen lit up with a message saying Weezy was too sick to perform, but he ‘loves putting on nothing short of the best performances.’
It promised that all tickets would be valid for the rescheduled date, but as of now, that date is a unknown.
There’s been no official follow-up or apology from the 42-year-old’s team, but fans online were very disappointed.
One fan, @fridayrickdred, took to Twitter to say: “Lil Wayne cancels Toronto concert last min! We gotta talk about Wayne possibly destroying his legacy. He might be inching towards COOKED status! Or is he already there?”
“You still the best rapper ever though but you broke my heart tn,” @lefthooklili added.
‘Tha Carter VI Tour’ is set to cover over 30 cities across North America.
That includes stops in New York, Detroit, Vegas, and more – and yes, Toronto was one of the more hyped ones as it was his first show back in Canada since 2023.
Wayne is touring off the back of his new album, Tha Carter VI, which was released dropped on June 6 and features an insane mix of guests – Bono, Andrea Bocelli, Big Sean, Jelly Roll, and even his own sons.
The album marks his 14th studio release, and for a rapper with over two decades in the game, he’s still pushing his sound.
