COLUMBIA, S. C. (AP) — Fans of rapper Lil Wayne will be offered refunds after the recording artist refused to pass through a security check to enter a South Carolina arena, and skipped the concert.
A statement Sunday by managers of the Colonial Life Arena in Columbia says Lil Wayne refused to enter the building when security workers sought to apply « the venue’s standard safety procedures. » The arena’s management says it wasn’t willing to make an exception for the headliner of Saturday night’s show « and jeopardize safety. »
Lil Wayne’s representative did not respond to an email seeking comment Sunday.
The rest of the show went on with entertainers 2 Chainz, Tory Lanez and Cardi B.
Ticketholders are being offered refunds starting Monday.
