The New Orleans-born rapper didn’t want to face a “standard” security check.
Lil Wayne left fans in the cold Saturday (Sept. 30) after he missed his own concert at the Fall Ball in Columbia, S. C. The New Orleans-born rapper refused to go through “standard safety procedures” at the Colonial Life Arena, according to a statement obtained by The (Charleston) Post and Courier.
“The safety of its patrons, its performers, and its staff members is and continues to be the No. 1 priority for Colonial Life Arena,” read the arena’s statement, according to the newspaper’s website. “While we regret the artist’s decision not to perform, Colonial Life Arena is not willing to bypass its security standards and jeopardize the safety of its patrons, performers, or staff members.”
Refunds are being offered for fans who were hoping to see Lil Wayne, who was scheduled to perform alongside his frequent collaborator 2 Chainz as well as Tory Lanez and Cardi B.
