Update: Happened Again Lil Wayne Arrives 4 Hours Late, Has Tantrum & Leaves After 15 Mins at his Tour

[Black Mamba]

Glad I don’t fukk with him like that anymore ever since the maga shyt
Cuz I definitely would’ve went to that one in Montreal

 

[Dwight Howard]

Wayne was never going to be that artists you can go back deep in the catalogue and enjoy his shyt. Only wayne stans will fight you tooth and nail for him being in the GOAT convo.

Carter 3 sessions is one of the greatest rap albums ever

 

[MJ Truth]

Audience getting up there in age, got more responsibilties, less time, not engrossing the youth to help fill out the venue, idk, I’m just as surprised as you are

But then again, maybe the industry just been tricking us the whole time with a lot of artists

To me it seems like rappers struggle the hardest with tours post their prine

More than likely the promoters just fukked up.

Lot of stuff that simply isn't true in here. Wayne's mixtapes weren't normal mixtapes so the barrier between "loyal mixtape fans" and "casual retail release fans" wasn't as drastic as you claim. There were huge 50 Cent or Lupe fans who hadn't heard most of his mixtape shyt, whereas at the time Wayne's mixtape shyt was nearly as prevalent as his album shyt. Mixtape tracks were being played on the radio, college parties, clubs, etc. You can find an average white Wayne fan today who can recite Swag Surf as effortlessly as a big single.

Nor do I buy the idea that Wayne's success came at a perfect time due to an Eminem hiatus or other big rappers being on hold. Carter 3 came out in 2008 and he put up prime Eminem numbers. If you want to say Em hadn't dropped since 2004, fine, whatever. But Em dropped the following year and did less first week than Carter 3 did, by quite a bit in fact. Carter 3 did a million first week, Relapse did a bit over 600k. And let's not forget No Ceilings came out the same year as Relapse. I was in college at the time and that shyt was everywhere.

You skipped to IANAHB2 like Carter IV didn't exist. You know, the album that did over 960k first week in 2011. The previous year, Em's album (Recovery) did 740k first week. In terms of IANAHM2 in the hindsight of knowing Wayne's label problems I'm baffled how you can blame that on an alleged lack of popularity. Dude was fighting for advances and arguing over bad contracts he signed while high. Beyond that album, by 2018 Wayne was still putting up big numbers. Carter V did 480k first week lol. Today Wayne has 31mil monthly spotify listeners.

I'm not a Wayne fan but witnessed the dominance. Let's not rewrite history. I'd argue Wayne's alleged tour struggles have more to do with management than anything else. Why launch a tour without an album and mini press run.

That shyt was retarded from the moment he said "Wayne can't make good crossover songs..." I don't even want to start naming his radio hits and how good they were. Not to mention him being on everybody else radio hits too.. And I don't even like Wayne. But his crossover appeal was undeniable

He lost his fanbase when Baby shelved his album and stole his money for a good half a decade. He never recovered from THAT

 

[Rozay Oro]

Lil Wayne acting like Axl Rose. Unless Drake throws him bone with a collab tape and perform it. He gonna have to perform overseas like Jeru and other older rappers if he’s gonna tarnish his rep like this.

 

[Rozay Oro]

Weezy Flattop Baby, you hate to see it

 

[JulesMusic719]

Weezy F and the F is for phenomenal

 

[CAVEMAN]

Doing his tour like this is bad for his artists. If he would just put these artists as his opening acts, like a normal performer would, then they wouldnt be getting this negative reaction.

instead he's bringing them out to perform their own unknown ass material by themselves in the beginning of his set while he wanders off stage, after he only played barely a few of his own songs, and already wants to leave to take a break now? After already arriving hella late??? Thats why the artists are getting the reaction they are. That is not how you put your artists on to your fanbase, - thats how you get your artists boo'd at and almost guarantees that the fans wont give em a fair chance

 

[Juneya]

Wayne been washed for 10+ years and his music aged terribly

You tripping. Dedication is 6 and 6.5 is the best ones. And he been snapping on EVERYTHING. You nikkas weird.

 

[Stick Up Kid]

More than likely the promoters just fukked up.

Live Nation is not fukking up bruh

 

[Roxx the King]

Didn’t read thru the comments but Wayne live is bad

This didn’t help (he stay doing shyt like this)

Ima big Wayne fan, too

Would only go to Wayne shows for the other artist

That says a lot comin from me. Trust

Damn he killed at SITW. Was the most punctual artist I’ve ever seen. Rapped the whole set with no warm up or interlude

 

[mr.africa]

Wayne threw his artist in the deep water with the sharks. He couldve at least been with him on stage for a few songs.....lol.
