Lil Wayne referred to as off his Toronto live performance simply an hour earlier than showtime as followers stuffed the venue and waited for him to hit the stage.

Lil Wayne canceled his Toronto live performance at Budweiser Stage on Monday (August 11) simply an hour earlier than showtime attributable to what was described as an “unforeseen illness,” leaving a packed venue surprised and disillusioned.

The abrupt announcement was shared on social media by the venue and flashed throughout screens inside, catching concertgoers off guard after doorways had already been open for practically two hours. Many had already taken their seats when the information broke.

“As his fans know, he loves putting on nothing short of the best performances for those who come out, and he was so excited for this one,” the venue posted. “Please stay tuned for the new date coming soon. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced.”

The Hip-Hop icon was slated to carry out as a part of his ongoing tour, which remains to be scheduled to proceed on Friday (August 16) in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio.

The Toronto cancellation got here simply days after a number of of Lil Wayne‘s traditional mixtapes—together with all three volumes of Da Drought and Dedication—unexpectedly landed on streaming companies earlier in August. The shock drop induced a stir on-line, but in addition raised questions concerning the legitimacy of the uploads.

According to Rolling Stone, a supply near the rapper mentioned the mixtapes have been “not legal [or] legitimate uploads.”

As of Tuesday (August 12), no rescheduled date for the Toronto present has been introduced.
