Mystikal was supposed to bring in the new year on stage at the Staples Center in Los Angeles, but instead he arrived an hour and 20 minutes late and fans had to settle for Destiny’s Child, Ideal and Jon B.

Mystikal was supposed to perform between Destiny’s Child and Jon B. to allow time for a set change, but by the time he arrived at 1:20 a.m., both had performed and the concert had been over for 20 minutes.

A promoter of the event told MTV that one of Mystikal’s representatives showed up at the show between 11 p.m. and midnight and said that Mystikal was resting at a nearby hotel after arriving in L.A. late because of weather-related flight delays, but that he planned to perform as scheduled.
