Lil Wayne Cancels Vancouver & Edmonton Concerts

Tonight’s Lil’ Wayne concert at GM Place has been cancelled at the last minute.

“The Lil’ Wayne show has been cancelled due to circumstances beyond Live Nation’s control,” the promoter said in a news release on Monday afternoon.

The American rapper last performed in Vancouver in January.

His Edmonton show, scheduled for Aug. 18, has also reportedly been cancelled.

Rumours are flying that rapper got caught up at the Canadian border, but this is purely speculation at this point.

This isn’t the first time Lil’ Wayne has had to cancel a concert in Canada. On June 29, 2008, it was announced that his show at Circa in Toronto and a scheduled appearance in Montreal were cancelled “due to unknown circumstances.”

Shouts to GlobalTVBC and there are even rumors now that Canada wouldn’t let Wayne in the country because he was too high :o

    I saw on Tyga’s twitter last night that one of the buses was just held up at the border after the one he was on had practically gotten to the Venue after a 20 hour drive. I also saw that instead of heading to Colorado right away for the next show that is in a couple of days they went to Reno instead to do some gambling and then headed to Colorado.

    I wish people stop crying about lil wayne canceling his shows. The guy got stopped at the border and we as canadians didnt let him in. Now they saying he s sick which is a bunch of bs. He able to play some shows this weekend down in the states. Come on dont lie to us and say your sick when you got stopped at the borders and the officials wouldnt let you in. Canada doesn’t let criminals into the country sorry

    Sorry to say this but up here in Canada we don’t like felons. Don’t think Lil Waynes music is any good. All he teaches kids is hey its ok to kill other if they are up in your face. And hey its okay to call your girl a biatch or a hoe. Yeah thats a winner alright. These rappers just do it to make a quick buck. I d say Ban the rap shit out of Canada we dont want it.

    Canadian Girl you are a idiot your one of those red neck hicks no one cares what you think so keep it to your self lil wayne is all good i was more hyped to see jeezy though
