Lil Wayne has been on the road touring across North America for several months. The rapper embarked on an unlikely tour with veteran post-punk group Blink-182, which has had his fair share of cancellations. The rapper even canceled a St. Louis show after he was escorted out of a Ritz-Carlton hotel by police and had to skip town. More recently, Weezy canceled another performance Saturday night at Las Vegas music festival Life Is Beautiful. According to fans, the crowd lined up to see Lil Wayne’s headling performance but he was a no-show.
After fans had gathered around a stage to see Weezy’s headlining set, a message appeared on screens informing attendees that the rapper would not show. “Unfortunately, Lil Wayne will not be able to perform tonight,” the message read. “Sorry for any inconvenience.”

In other Lil Wayne news, a highly-anticipated album with Drake may very well be on its way. Weezy confirmed that he and Drake often talk about collaborating. “We still text and send songs here and there, change a verse because he killed me or change a verse ‘cause I killed him,” Weezy said. “It’s still the same competition.”
