Lauryn Hill recently showed up very late to a concert in Brooklyn, then berated fans who complained by saying, "I personally know I'm worth the wait." Get the deets inside, plus a sneak peek at Nicki Minaj's new video...
Lauryn Hill performed a concert at Brooklyn's Music Hall of Williamsburg last night, but kept her fans waiting all night. The concert was scheduled to start at 8pm, but Ms. Hill didn't grace the stage until after midnight. Can you imagine a four hour wait? Well she told the crowd, "If you're unhappy you'e more than welcome to go back and get a refund. There's a lot that goes into this."
A New York Times writer wrote:
"Two fans in the front row hand-wrote signs: “You Just Lost One,” “This Is Insulting.” One of the keyboard players taped a reply on his kit: “I Was on Time.” When Ms. Hill finally took the stage a little after midnight — a few minutes after arriving at the club and getting carried over piles of snow on the street, one witness reported — she was primed for a fight. “Don’t do that. That’s disrespectful,” she told the fans with the signs, motioning with her finger to the exit at the back of the room, where she suggested they go.
To the crowd she was both thankful and indignantly apologetic. “I spent my entire 20s sacrificing my life to give you love. So when I hear people complain, I don’t know what to tell you,” she said. “I personally know I’m worth the wait.” ... After her first song, a lithe, pretty cover of Bob Marley’s “Forever Loving Jah,” she finally yanked the sign off her keyboard player’s kit, telling him: “You trying to escape the bottles and the cups. Next time you take it, you take it like a man. We in this together, brother.”
Watch the clip:
Lauryn feels because she gave up so much during her 20s...we owe her with our time. Hmph. I guess people less talented have had way more diva moments. But damn.
In other music news, Nicki Minaj is set to drop the video for her single with Drake very soon. In the meantime, here's some pics from the set for you thanks to HipHopConnection:
Looks like her and Drake get very close in the video for "Moment For Life."
Remember when Kanye West and Irv Gotti were comparing Nicki to Lauryn Hill and saying she was going to be the next "greatest?" Well I hope Nicki doesn't go the diva way of Lauryn and start disrespecting her fans. So far...she seems to be enjoying her "moment."
