It's wild to applaud someone for disrespecting your time. Couldn't be me.

Clap if she should suffer

Fr. When my friend and I lived in Ny we trecked all the way to that world fair space needle-ish place in outer queens for a free concert and it had started to sprinkle and then really rain. We waited for 2 hours like idiots and then, she finally came on.

She played two songs shittily, and then left to take a break. We both had to go on antibiotics for sinus infections bc of that. Thankfully we were smart enough to leave after those two songs. Fuck her.

I'm sorry ypu went through that, hoe fucking horrendous 😔

I hate artists like that. Because I'm sure if everyone demanded refunds she'd be singing a different tune (no pun intended).

Like do they (entitled artists) realize the people in front of them are THE ONLY reason they're on that stage to begin with...

1+1=.....

I thought about getting tickets but then I realized she was more trouble than she’s worth. There was just a post on Reddit about someone who took off work, got childcare and Airbnb and drove 4 hours to see her just for her to cancel the whole thing 90 minutes before it was supposed to start.

Fuck you, Lauryn. You’re a narcissist who is lucky to have any fans at all at this point. You’re not the only one who matters.

So annoying!

I was meant to see her 5 years ago in London and I cancelled because of the tardiness. She ended up being 20 minutes late rather than 2 hours in some European shows.

Then I saw her at Glastonbury shortly after and she was...okay. Didnt really connect with the audience and she was late again. I was so disappointed after adoring her album for so many years.

damn she really told morrissey "hold my drink"

[evenstarsfall]

God probably wants you to be on time babe.

There’s a song called On-Time God and everything

Although if I remember the lyrics correctly, he may have also been on that same shit Lauryn Hill is saying lmaooo

[bostongirl2003]

what is the condition that makes people invoke God in things like getting somewhere on time?

[artlover2788]

being religious

[theylezharold]

Narcissism and delusions of curiosity

[aristobrit]

Refusal to take responsibility for their own actions.

[musicnkisses]

If u paying to see Lauryn Hill sing her one album in 2023 then u deserve her treating u the way she does. She is chronically late.

[tralexora]

Yea, she's been pulling this shit for literal decades. You buy a ticket and don't expect this behavior, you're just playing yourself at this point.

[amalgamade]

Thank youuuu. I told my SO that she’s still doing the absolute most to be a one-album wonder, beloved though she may be, and you would think I called his mom out of her name lmao. I love her music but, sans Fugees, even dearly departed Aaliyah has more albums out lol.
