A Lil Wayne representative has released a statement to SOHH regarding the rapper’s unexpected cancellation of this week’s Canada tour dates and claimed it was due to medical reasons.
According to Wayne’s camp, the tour will continue this Thursday (August 20) in Denver, Colorado.
“Lil Wayne, due to illness, was advised by his doctors to cancel the Young Money Presents: America’s Most Wanted Music Festival tour stops in Western Canada. The tour, headlined by Lil Wayne featuring Young Jeezy, Soulja Boy, Pleasure P and Jeremih, was scheduled to come through Vancouver and Edmonton on August 17th and 18th. Wayne, his band and crew arrived in Canada with full intention of performing but were forced to cancel the dates due to doctor-mandated rest. Young Money Presents America’s Most Wanted Music Festival will continue their tour routing as planned and extends an apology to the fans for the cancellation.”
News of the Vancouver cancellation landed online yesterday (August 17) evening which can be read here.

I told you it was his doctor that said not to do it!!!! god….i wish people listened
August 18th, 2009 at 6:49 pm
He’s lying again… they said he was ill when he cancelled the UK tour dates
August 18th, 2009 at 6:52 pm
hes really ill
August 18th, 2009 at 6:54 pm
Everytime he gets too high or fucks up somehow or even feels ‘tired’, he will just cancel the show and say that he is ill… he did this with the UK dates and was even seen partying the next day… someone please explain
August 18th, 2009 at 6:55 pm
It’s because he got stopped at the border! He would of had a gun or some weed on his bus and wouldn’t let them search it
August 18th, 2009 at 7:07 pm

I bought two tickets for me and my BF and now this shit. Does he respect his fans. I used MY POCKET MONEY! I payed for it and I was begging two days just so my parents would let me! Maybe he is sick I don know but I do know that this isnt first time. Tomorrow he will be seen high as hell partying with bitches. But fans who payed for the concert care about him! I do care but if he continues this canceling because of he is tired I will be very disapointed!
August 18th, 2009 at 7:17 pm
GET BETTER SOON WEEZY F!
August 18th, 2009 at 7:18 pm
canada wouldn’t let wayne in because the tour is called america’s most wanted and not canada’s most wanted lmao
August 18th, 2009 at 7:19 pm
its dat syrup
August 18th, 2009 at 8:22 pm
if wayne could control himself on stage he could just stand with the mic and let the others run around…but he loves the hype…i still think when he cancels a place he should release a vid saying sorry like with the UK dates…cause the fans paying money here…
August 18th, 2009 at 8:33 pm
Look at these foolish “FANS”. If it means weezy being brought out in a casket to entertain them they wouldn’t mind. How the fuck do you know if his doctors said so or not??
If he can’t be there…he CANT.
Didn’t he reschedule the U.K shows? so what’s the bitching about..

Aren’t you getting your cash back? Alright then so SHUT UP. lol wow I don’t get it. Wayne is never seen “high and partying with bitches”. How many fuckin pictures do you see of wayne partying? very few.
He makes “Appearances” which he is PAID for. Just like he said on Dedication 3 mixtape. Those are not parties to enjoy himself you noobs.

It’s that sizzurp
August 18th, 2009 at 8:52 pm
Sounds eerily familiar to the last-minute cancellation of the European tour dates. Sorry to the Canadian fans I know how much it sucks (I had UK tickets).
I actually think “Jamie Foxx’s Penis” (LOL) has the right idea though. I heard on Hot 97 That Nikki Minaj tweeted about something to do with getting the bus searched.
Who knows… All I know is this doesn’t shock me.
I am a big Lil Wayne fan however I absolutely cannot stand these dick-riders who can’t comprehend how another fan would be pissed at Weezy cancelling a show on the day of said show. Of course any human being would be pissed like crazy if it happened to them.
P.s. “dc”, who actually uses the word “noob” other than pathetic little dick-riding, prepubescent, unfortunate looking, world of warcraft addicted white boys with man-crushes on rappers? Oh sorry, didn’t mean to offend ya chuck.

August 18th, 2009 at 9:39 pm
Oh shut da fukk up STephanie you noob. I’m too grown up for stereotypes.
Im black., 6′1, 190 Ibs, muscular and sexxy as FUCK. WHat the fuck is a “chuck”?
you’re DEFFINITELY white.
I sympathize with weezy cuz i know how you can be exhausted from previous stresses. I also see how fans can be inconsiderate leaches sometimes. Nothing I said is indicative of “dickryding”. Matter of fuckin fact, Ive never been to a weezy show and dont intend on going to one.
Swallow that, bitch.
August 18th, 2009 at 9:51 pm
If weezy cant do these shows… i wonder how mj wuda coped
August 18th, 2009 at 10:19 pm
yep lil wayne can’t do these shows anymore. the doctor told him not to
August 18th, 2009 at 10:53 pm
BITCH swallow my words, taste my thought!
August 18th, 2009 at 11:54 pm

August 19th, 2009 at 12:36 am
i saw him sunday night in concord at their hotel and he actually did look tired and kinda worn out but this is definitely not the reason they didn’t go to canada, they knew that night they were probably going to cancel both dates and just go to CO thats straight from a ym artist.
August 19th, 2009 at 2:35 am

@hugu
I think that joke would have been more funny if he didn’t already play in Toronto and Montreal….

So I had bought two tickets to this event, I was really stoked for all the artists (excluding Soulja Boy, like wtf) and when I learned that he cancelled his show like a half an hour before, I was completely choked. I remember checking the website an hour before the show started reading something similiar to “Lil Wayne, tonight @ 6:00 PM” on the main page, and I’m all hyped up, checked on the site again half an hour before the show was going to start at my hotel, and it said it was cancelled. I was like… fuck.
I’m sure many people have the same stories. But if I ever go to see a Lil Wayne concert, it’s probably only going to happen in America, but I would still be really paranoid thinking that he might cancel. Lol.
