LIL WAYNE CONCERT DRAMA EXPLAINED


HERE IS THE STORY FROM DJ IP WHO WAS THERE AS TOLD TO ILLSEED.

I drove 4 hours from V-Tech to VCU in Richmond to see Lil Wayne perform. The show "started" at 7 with a handful of up and coming openers as usual, many were booed. The drama didn't start until 10:45, when the hosts ran out of acts and Wayne was no where to be found. The hosts swore Wayne was in the building, and kept reminding us of his managers promise to land in Richmond at 6. The refund line was packed. Wayne didn't show up until midnight. Weezy comes on stage looking very depressed, with a middle finger salute to his DJ, and tries to attempt a decent show, he then pauses and blames his attitude on someone in his crew, later revealed to be the his childhood friend and DJ Taz Poe. The beef has something to do with someone (Taz Poe?) calling Wayne a junkie, advising him to attend rehab, and his court date that afternoon. Wayne announces that everyone we see with him today, will no longer accompany him...never. Wayne proceeded to disrespectfully cue the DJ - "start the next track BITCH". Wayne later ordered the audience to shout Fuck You to the DJ. Wayne steps off stage after 10 minutes of this on stage circus, taking many breaks between cuts to argue with the DJ.

Wayne comes back a new man after 5 minutes of crowd chanting Weezy! (Jay-Z encore style), and does a great show, as if nothing ever happened. One of the final songs in his show was Go DJ, and he thanked Taz Poe for buying him the guitar used in the leather so soft video, which he used for a couple cuts on stage. I am very confused on if the crew is fired or not, but I don't really care, the show was amazing.- DJ IP
