Lil Wayne Forced To Cancel Concert Due To Illness

Lil Wayne was forced to cancel a concert in Canada at very short notice after he came down with an unspecified illness.

Weezy was set to perform in Toronto last night (August 11) but pulled out at the last minute.

When fans arrived at the arena, they were greeted by a message which read: “Due to unforeseen illness, Wayne’s Toronto show will be postponed. 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.

“Please stay tuned for the new date coming soon. All previously purchased tickets will be honored for the new date once announced.”

No further details regarding the reason for the postponement were announced.

Wayne’s son, Novi, recently controversially claimed that the rap legend was responsible for writing most of Drake’s lyrics.

Speaking to TrillMarty on YouTube, the younger Carter dished the dirt on who is allegedly behind Drake’s lyrics.

Novi said: “My dad wrote most of [Drake’s] shit. I mean, on God. Like, if it wasn’t for my pops, there wouldn’t be no Drake.

“I mean, there probably would be a Drake, but he wouldn’t be where he’s at, though.”

However, Novi did say: “No disrespect to Drake. He hard.”

Drake has never had anything but love for his “She Will” collaborator.

Drizzy also praised Weezy as a label boss last year: “We were so lucky to have the most supportive boss in the game always gassed us up.”

When the New Orleans rap legend brought in his 39th birthday back in 2021, Drizzy was at the heart of the celebrations and made a toast to his longtime collaborator.

“We don’t get a chance to gather as a family much anymore,” he said while hoisting his glass of champagne in honor of Lil Wayne. “I still, to this day, get nervous speaking about this man because, at the end of the day, as much of a brother and a mentor as he is to me, he’s still my idol. And still somebody who just puts me in a place where, when I start thinking about him, I start thinking about my family.”
