Although a large majority of the artists scheduled to perform at the Def Jam Records 30th Anniversary Concert had the opportunity to perform last night (October 16), one scheduled artist didn’t have the chance to grace the stage during the anniversary concert.
MStarz.com reports that following inquiries from fans via social media, Los Angeles, California singer Jhene Aiko took to her Instagram page to reveal the reason why she didn’t perform last night.
According to Jhene, she and her crew were mistreated by workers and told to “get the fuck out” of Barclays Center. She revealed that a female member of her management was even “physically assaulted” by a male worker.
