Apparently Lauryn was about three hours late to a show in Atlanta and fans were heated with the R&B singer for showing up so late and only singing three songs before getting shut down by the venue.

Yet, despite her notorious reputation for being tardy, it still didn’t stop thousands of Lauryn Hill fans from copping tickets to see their fav perform her hits at Atlanta’s Chastain Park Friday night. How did it go? About as typical as a Lauryn Hill show usually goes. Per pissed concert-goers, the former Fugees frontwoman showed up nearly three hours late, and was booed to hell because of it. What was even more disappointing was Ms. Hill only performed THREE songs before the venue cut off her mic due of their strict curfew.
“I’ve never been so disappointed in my life after a concert,” Holliwood20 tweeted. “Lauryn Hill had her supporters in ATL waiting almost 3 hours. On her 4th song, the sound went off because there’s a curfew at Chastain Park which has an 11 o’clock cut off. We work too hard for our money.”
The disappointed fan also demanded a refund, tweeting, “It’s not about Lauryn Hill being continuously late, we would love to be fully compensated for the product. Three songs for 30 minutes? Wow!”
So, why the lateness? According to the “Everything Is Everything” singer, it was all her driver’s fault. “My driver got lost. I can’t control that,” Lauryn says in a video of an angry fan confronting her. The fan said he saw Lauryn performing at soundcheck at 4pm and wondered why she didn’t stay, to which she replied, “I’m a perfectionist about what I do.” Except when it comes to time, obviously.
NOT him dragging Lauryn to her face. She deserved it though! pic.twitter.com/zEuYUbnWoE

F-ck that. If you’re bold enough to buy tickets to a Lauryn Hill show knowing damn well her a-s won’t show up on time, I can’t even take your complaints seriously. When I need a Lauryn fix, I just put the album in rotation. I’ll be damned if I give her chronically late a-s any of my coins. Hell naw.
Sigh…I will always be a fan. But I won’t be naive and pretend she doesn’t have issues. I appreciate her for her talent and the wonderful music she has given us. But don’t expect me to go to any of her shows.
Lauryn just being Lauryn.
She treats her fans like sh-t. But they will keep making excuses for her because she’s the respectable black woman they approve of.
If she made it to the soundcheck earlier in the day, she should have made it to the performance on time. There’s no excuse for this mess. Lauryn needs to get it together. Having a classic album doesn’t excuse this behavior.
lmao people still pay for her concerts?
smh
She’s managed to be on time for a few of her shows this year. I just wish she would make that the norm and not the rarity.
I never thought Lauryn would end up like this. It’s sad to me. I thought she would be able to make a few more great albums and really cement herself as an icon. That never happened and it really should have. But that’s the music business for you. Not everyone is cut out for it no matter how talented they are.
LOL. She really tried to blame her driver though.
She’s such a letdown.
She deserved the dragging that man gave her in the video.
Oh Lauryn.
UB pretty please post her response on her FB page!! I just have to vent!!
I will continue to play my old CD. Never will buy her tickets or Katt Williams tickets. They are either a no show or extremely late and belligerent to the crowd when they are called out.
