The Late Lauryn Hill to Concert Goers: “You’re Lucky I Got to Perform on This Blood Ras Stage”

Lauryn Hill is understood for a lot of things. Punctuality will not be one in all them. The singer has developed a repute for showing up late to her performances, which has made her the victim of countless online jokes and fan complaints.

The hip-hop icon addressed her chronic show tardiness in the course of the Los Angeles stop of her twenty fifth anniversary tour on November 4.

Hill was joined on stage by her mother, who held the singer’s hand as she addressed the gang.

“When an album sold so many records and nobody got here along and said, ‘Hey, would you want to make one other one?’ So I traveled all around the world and played the identical album over and another time. Because we survived, and never only did we survive, but we thrived.

The mother of six was applauded by the audience, but some social media users didn’t accept Hill’s explanation.

“If God is a punctual God, why does he always…. Whatever 😂 I love you Ms. Lauryn 💜😩 I’ll mind my own business 😂,” Keairalashe said on The Shade Room’s Instagram page.

IG user @_Journeywithjas_ chimed in, quoting the lyrics to Hill’s hit “Doo Wop That Thing. “
“Little girl, respect is only a minimum.” Time is our best asset. Be on time. You have traveled all around the world due to love people have on your gifts and the sacrifices people made to spend money to see you. Entitlement gives me a tough time; it doesn’t matter who it’s.”

This is not the primary time the multi-talented artist has responded to fan complaints. In 2016, she explained her tardiness on Facebook.

“I’m not late for shows because I don’t care,” HIll wrote. “And I don’t have anything but love and respect for my fans. The challenge is to align my energy with the time, take something that may not easily classified or contained, and check out to make it available to others. I do not have an on/off switch. I feel best when I am open, rested, vulnerable and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible.

The tour also serves as a reunion together with her former Fugees bandmates. The trio will perform several times in North America. More information in regards to the tour might be found on the web site website.
