Lauryn Hill Disappoints on Recent Tour Stop

The Queen did not impress her Toronto fanbase.

While she’s heralded as an icon, a hip-hop legend, and is in possession of one of the most classic albums of all time, Lauryn Hill isn’t immune to criticism or negative feedback. Turns out, she is human after all.

Celebrating the 20th anniversary of her groundbreaking album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill, Lauryn is currently on a reunion tour, and stopped off in Toronto the other night. However, fans were disappointed with–and quite frankly pissed off at–the “Ex-Factor” rapper due to showing up over an hour late, only performing for 45-minutes, and spending most of her time slandering the live band and tech crew. Not a great look for someone trying to move concert tickets.

Perhaps Lauryn feels she’s above the necessary showmanship expected out of a performer. Perhaps she’s grown jaded over her long tenure. However, when fans pay for a show, they expect to get their money’s worth. And seeing Lauryn Hill isn’t a common occurrence–quite the contrary.

Hill’s next stop is in Florida on July 29th, and finishes in New Orleans on October 3rd. It’s a certainty that despite this, fans will still be in attendance–the jury is out on whether or not she’ll be present.
