Lauryn Hill Addresses ‘Nonsense’ Surrounding Her Show Delays: ‘There Seems to Be a Misconception’


Lauryn Hill addressed the "nonsense" about her delayed shows and Essence Fest performance, which the event took the blame for.

With plenty of chatter surrounding her tardiness, the Fugees legend set the record straight with a lengthy statement clearing the air on Tuesday (July 8). The Grammy-winning artist admitted this wasn’t the first time production issues have caused her to delay concerts, and also defended her performance artistry and how much of herself she pours into every aspect of her shows. Lauryn Hill was added to the ESSENCE Festival bill about two days before showtime, and performed deep into the wee hours of Saturday until after 3:35 a.m.
