Why Did Lil Wayne Cancel Young Money’s Set At Summer Jam 2012?
Yesterday, Lil Wayne sent out a tweet half an hour after Hot 97‘s Summer Jam 2012 had begun at the Met Life Stadium in New Jersey saying that his Young Money crew will not be performing at the show.
“Young Money ain’t doing summer jam.”
The reason behind Weezy cancelling Young Mula‘s set at the concert was because one of Hot 97‘s radio personalities, Peter Rosenberg, called Nicki Minaj‘s “Starships” song wack and not real hip-hop at the start of the show.
“Now hold on, before I get to the real hip-hop shit of the day, cause I see the real hip-hop heads sprinkled in here, I see ’em. I know there are some chicks waiting to see ‘Starships’ later, I’m not talking to y’all right now. Fuck that bullshit, I’m here to talk about real hip-hop shit.”
My personal opinion is that Tune was right to pull his YM artists from performing at the show. If Nicki was the headliner (meaning most people bought tickets to see her) and the Hot 97 DJ’s are calling her tracks wack, then she and Tunechi have every right to feel disrespected and not perform.
Minaj tweeted that she was going to bring out Lil Wayne, Birdman, Tyga, Gudda Gudda, Jae Millz, Foxy Brown, Beenie Man, Nas, 2 Chainz, Cam’ron and Lauryn Hill during her set too, which would of been crazy for both the audience and even Hot 97 themselves. So basically they f’d up!
Jae Millz also went on Twitter and sent out a tweet directed to Peter Rosenberg:
“Radio personality with NO personality… fuck nigga!!! & u ain’t even black… But u still a FUCK NIGGA!!”
So what are your thoughts ❓ Do you agree with Lil Wayne pulling his label from performing at Summer Jam 2012, or not ❓
