Black Twitter Goes In On Lauryn Hill After She Shows Up Two Hours Late To Atlanta Show

I will say this... As a Black community we feed off of drama and gossip. We make statements and believe things based off of media headlines without doing the proper research to make judgements. And as Black women... yes Black women we are the main perpetrators of this drama.

The truth is... while Lauryn was late she was 30 minutes late, her set time was 9:30 she showed up at 10:00. The promoters were supposed to hire performances before Lauryn which didn't happen. So Black twitter doing what they usually do rushed to judgement and made statements without realizing the truth. Where as her mic got cut off during the performance due to a sound ordinance.

But as usual some Black women on twitter being emotional made a tweet talking about lauryn was 3 hours late, which the media recycled; along with black twitter without knowing the truth.

Venue closed at 11pm

She got on stage at 10:30

Put the cape away

No she didn't. I was there.

Stop hating on the woman cause she dark skin.

This is not new. I don't know why these folks keep paying to see her. Cha stain don't play that late shit! Nigga I witnessed them straight cut the mic on Erykah Badu during didn't chu know. Niggas let her do the intro and cut her mic on the "ooooh heed you" Lol. Anyway I don't feel bad for these people cause it's not like tweets are going to make Lauryn Hill get to concerts on time.

Saw Lauryn Hill with Outlast back in the early 00s

Best show I've been too and I was a pup

People still letting her live off one album she did 20 years ago. An album where she lied and took credit saying she produced the whole album by the way. Then mf's wonder why she hasn't been able to follow up MELH.

2 albums

Her unplugged one of my favorite joints

Ditto for Jay

Her explanation for the shit wasn't no better. Talking about the time don't align right w/ her energy...

I don't show up late to shows because I don't care. And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn't easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others. I don't have an on/off switch. I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible. For every performance that I've arrived to late, there have been countless others where I've performed in excess of two hours, beyond what I am contracted to do, pouring everything out on the stage.

Because I care so deeply about the artistic process, I scrutinize, have perfectionist tendencies, and want space made for spontaneity, which is not an easy process, with the many moving parts on the road. Some days we are more successful than others re time. However, the vitality that is infused into the performances is always appreciated by the audiences, who may not know exactly what it took to accomplish. What hasn't been touched upon by the media, I'm sure, are the hundreds of people who rushed the stage and stayed in excess of an hour after the show ended last night, just to connect.

Our challenge is to figure out the best way to accommodate the vitality, spontaneity, and spirit that make the performances worthwhile and special to begin with, while also making that experience available and accessible to others. If I didn't Love and respect the art, I wouldn't be doing this. The audience and I should have that in common.

My true audience knows emphatically that I care. It isn't possible to affect people in any deep and meaningful way without putting sacrificial time in.

I have nothing but Love and appreciation for the fans in Atlanta, and regret not being able to give you a full show. We are figuring out a plan to make it up to you, and will announce details as soon as we have them.

Respectfully,

MLH

she a grown ass women and needs to shut that shit the fuck up.
