Lil Wayne has explained why he was unable to perform at the opening night of his 20 Years of Carter Classics Tour in Maine. The rapper was scheduled to headline the first show of the tour at the Maine Savings Amphitheater in Bangor alongside special guest 2 Chainz. While 2 Chainz completed his performance, fans were left waiting for hours before organizers announced that Lil Wayne would no longer be taking the stage.
In a video shared on social media, the Young Money founder revealed that he experienced a severe migraine before the show. Wayne explained that he has epilepsy and that intense migraines are one of the triggers that can lead to seizures. Although he said he has not had a seizure in years, he decided not to perform to protect his health.
Lil Wayne first revealed his epilepsy diagnosis in 2013 and has spoken openly about living with the condition. His latest update gave fans a better understanding of why he had to cancel the performance at the last minute.
