Lauryn Hill maddened Atlanta concertgoers Friday (May 6) after she left them waiting for more than two hours to see a lackluster performance resulting in a brutal social media dragging. She addresses the situation in a lengthy apology letter on Facebook.
In the letter, she explained why she’s frequently late, blaming the creative process for her lack of punctuality. She even offers a solution for the time she needs to gather herself before a performance.
“I don’t show up late to shows because I don’t care,” Ms. Lauryn Hill wrote. “And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn’t easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others. I don’t have an on/off switch. I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible.”
In the recent years, Lauryn Hill has become known as an artist who habitually shows up late to their own shows. She was also a no-show for this years Grammys where she was slated to perform alongside The Weeknd. Hill eventually made up for her absence at the Grammys with a surprise performance of “In The Night” with The Weeknd on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon.
Although she did perform her set at Chastain Park Amphitheatre, her mic was cut off at 11 p.m. sharp. Lauryn has promised to return to Atlanta with plans to make-up for her tardiness and will announce the details when they figure it out.

Excuses, excuses, excuses. Grown folks don’t make excuses. If a person is habitually late then they are selfish and have no consideration of others.
I love how she talks like people really give a fuck what she says. Totally overrated and full of herself. Her music will never match her ego. She had ONE hit single on her own and it was 20 years ago. You are not relevant anymore and people can see thru your bullshit.
Im guessing you never heard of the fugees. Yeah, she wasnt alone but she was by far the star of the group. Wyclef is amazing but lauren made the fugees

Of course ive heard of the Fugees you stupid asshole and like I said on her own she had only ONE single so whatever she doesnt even play any fugees stuff anymore its all lame introspective acoustic guitar over sensitive shit for women to listen to when there on there period.
Is this bitch stupid? I went to a show near DC where she was 3 hours late and it was hot as hell outside!! I will never pay to see her again…
She was late because she was at my trap house!!! fuck up some commas!!! freeband gang 4 life!!! lauryn sucked my dick last night!!! fuck up some commas yeah!
Yeah i wouldnt waste my money on
Ticket to her show. Not saying she is good. She is by far the best female rapper in the history of music. She has one of the most beautiful voices ive ever heaed, in my opinion. I love her music, but its selfish to make paying fans wait hours to see her. She gets paid for it, the least she could do is be on time
Fuck this crazy bitch, doesn’t have any respect for her own fans
She probably spent that show money on some over priced african art and some bright colered head wraps to wear when shes sitting on the beach writing songs about how hard her struggle is GTFOH with that BULLSHIT str8 up tha bitch is wack just let her fade out like in obscurity like Brittany Spears and Mariah Carey
Done.

I knew it had to be the Chronic
That first sentence should be worded better. lolmao
….. So she basically just said ill show up when im ready too…..
Show and prove. Her tardiness is pretty well known. I’m surprised that her fans still purchase tickets knowing how she is. Unless she’s willing to give a free concert to all who paid to see her in Atlanta, I can’t see how she’ll make it up to anyone.
Pay pay for an expect something. If you cant fulfill your end of the bargain then dont sell tickets with a start time on them.
