After appearing in court and being charged with felony drug
and weapons charges, Lil Wayne arrives
three hours late to perform for a sold-out audience in Richmond, Virginia.
According to the Richmond
Times-Dispatch, Wayne’s private
plane had been delayed leaving Arizona and had to be re-routed on its way east.
At 11:50 pm, the rapper got on stage and apologized for his present
attitude.

“I just flew in
10 minutes ago. I just had to deal with a whole lot of [expletive] today, but I
guess you know that,” he said. “Some [stuff] happened today that made
me look at life in a different way. I’m [ticked] off to the highest point right
now and trying to get it together for y’all,” says Lil Wayne to 2/3 of the remaining crowd.
After brief and lukewarm performances of “I’m a D-Boy” and “Duffle
Bag Boy” the rapper unexpectedly walked off stage; again leaving fans agitated
and causing more to leave the venue.
“Virginia Commonwealth
students and Richmond as a whole isn’t going to forget what he did to us today.
It was unacceptable,” says VCU student, Tenzin Sampher.

“I had to step backstage and think about everything for a
second, and all I could think about was ya’ll” a revitalized Lil Wayne tells the remaining crowd as
he returns to perform for the next hour.
