Santigold and Nas were the target of Twitter’s wrath earlier this week when they appeared to pull a no-show at a stop on The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill 20th Anniversary Tour.
Santi responded to one of the enraged fans and expressed her frustrations with the entire situation.
“I’m sorry you paid to see us and we’re not there,” she tweeted. “That really bums me out. I’m also bummed that @MsLaurynHill and crew didn’t tell ppl why we’re not there. She took us off the bill.”
Santi’s team issued a statement to HipHopDX and shed a little light on the situation.
“Santigold will no longer be a support act on the dates of Lauryn Hill’s ‘Miseducation 20th Anniversary Tour’ she was scheduled for,” the statement read. ” The tour organizers made the decision to reduce the amount of support.”
The Los Angeles-based artist followed up with a tweet, apologizing to anyone she might’ve let down.
“I will no longer be performing on The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill Tour at the following dates due to the tour organizers’ decision to reduce the support,” she wrote. “So sorry to disappoint my fans.
The former Fugee has a long history of botched performances. After showing up late and infuriating Toronto fans in July, she then canceled multiple dates on the North American run.
So far, it’s unclear if Nas has been cut from any of Hill’s shows. On September 12, Nasir Jones tweeted that he’d be joining her in New Zealand in February 2019.
Shabazz Palaces and Talib Kweli, who were scheduled to join Hill at Red Rocks Amphitheater in Colorado on September 26, haven’t made any official announcements confirming or canceling the gig. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Who the fuck is STILL paying to see this bitch?!
This broke bedwench got cut. lol Nas is still on the tour you ugly hoe.
I have No sympathy for people who bought tix. You know DAMN well how flaky Lauryn Hill’s psycho ass is. You deserve to get got.
Are you born stupid? It says the organizers took them off..not Lauryn nor that Lauryn didn’t show up. Bunch of idiots.
Lauryn Hill is mentally ill
Call it dumb luck, but I bought tix for the Vegas show, and she fuckin killed it, non of the complaints about previous shows surfaced, she PLAYED THE OG TRACKS with 1 or 2 beat changes in most songs, her band was on point, her voice was strong, doors opened @ 6pm, I got there @ 9:15, she went on @ 9:45. Her hype man got a lil too hype for her, so she did check him a couple times not verbally, she waved him back and looked at him crooked eyed, so I guess she didnt want anyone IN FRONT of her on stage…and she did give some of her band some solo time, but not as as much as Im accustomed to when I see a live band. I was hella suspect, Nas was suppose to be there, thats actually part of the reason i got the tix, but he didnt show for whatever. Overall i was impressed with the overall show. Had a great fuckin time and the crowd was dope. Oh and she played for bout hour fifteen.
Is Hollywood still calling ? I can see Her winning a Oscar I just don’t know for what yet .
