It appears Lil Wayne is feeling better about his role on the Blink-182 tour.
Wayne threatened to quit the run on Thursday night (July 11), but has evidently had a change of heart. On Friday (July 12), Weezy hopped on Twitter to let his 34.3 million followers he wouldn’t be going anywhere.
“Yesterday was krazy!” he tweeted. “But I want all my fans to know I won’t be quitting this tour! I’m having too much fun with my bros blink-182. Bangor,ME See you tomorrow!
Wayne suggested he wasn’t feeling the “rap-less” crowd in Bristow, Virginia on Thursday night (July 11) and allegedly walked off stage after performing only four songs. People who had attended the show quickly took to social media to express their disappointment. But now, Wayne fans can rest assured he’ll finish the remaining dates.
The Blink-182 tour picks up on Saturday (July 13) in Maine. From there, they head to Ohio, New York, Virginia before ultimately winding up in New Jersey on September 18 for the final date on the extensive run.

Lil Wayne is currently on a joint headlining tour with pop-punk group Blink-182 — but it appears Weezy isn’t feeling it.
During a stop at Jiffy Lube Live venue in Bristow, Virginia on Thursday night (July 11), fans tweeted Wayne only did a 20-minute set before walking off the stage altogether.
In between tracks, he told the audience he was feeling conflicted and suggested the lack of rap fans in the crowd was strange for him.
“Please forgive me, but I am so not used to performing to a crowd and there’s not too many, like still, that’s not my swag,” he said. “I’m not sure how long I’ll be able to do this tour, but make some noise for Blink-182 for including me anyway. This might be my last night though.”
Several concert attendees aired their grievances on Twitter. One claimed Wayne said, “ain’t enough of y’all **** here, I’m out” and left after playing only four songs.
Wayne and Blink-182 are expected to resume their tour schedule on Saturday night (July 13) in Bangor, Maine. If he completes the tour, the last stop would be on September 18 in Camden, New Jersey.
Shit he shoulda known before getting on that tour. Isn’t he a wannabe rock artist anyways?
What was he trying to say? There weren’t enough black people?
Lol @ yet another Dindu breaking a contract he knowingly entered due to race. Dindus aren’t responsible for any of their choices, race is
Calm the fvck down already. You’re not even making jokes you’re just saying random shit to offend black people. It’s only satire if you’re telling a funny uncomfortable truth. What you’re doing is pointless racist rants, add some irony or something bro.
I never said it was satire. I’m definitely a supremacist. I’m here to put them down while I’m stressed in the office
I can respect your honestly. Good luck, mention their propensity for self loathing a bit more that really hits home.
I am far far right wing . I just happen to like New York rap. It’s a confradiction I know but I don’t really care and that’s my privilege and I wear it proudly
Was he trying to say their were not enough black people? Lmao anyone seen a lil wayne concert? Its like 85% white boys i though he woulda veen familar
Didn’t I tell you not to comment on here anymore
Why would i listen to someone with so many dicks in their mouth now go choke on one
Because the lawsuits would be horrendous
He looks like an open herpes sore, black people tell your kids face tattoos are a bad investment.
Lawyers likely told him there’d be a lot of lawsuits had he quit.
Yall say Twitter said something and post one random tweet by a nobody da fuq
WOAT verse on KRIT new album
Lil wayne needs to retire. He is One of the worst things to ever happen music. America loves mediocrity and here is the proof.
