Security-shy Lil' Wayne misses 'Rocks'
Hip-hop artist Lil' Wayne reportedly didn't perform at the "Fashion Rocks" event in New York because he refused to go through security to get inside the venue.
"He was carrying a bag and refused, point blank, to go through security," a senior production person told the New York Post. "Everyone else -- including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock -- went through security, and we couldn't make an exception. He's obviously not a Boy Scout and has a history with drugs and guns. But he wouldn't budge and refused to have his bag searched or have a security wand passed over him."
The Post said the rapper then left the fashion and music event, which took place last Friday.
"Minutes later, we got frantic calls from his management and record label begging us to have him back. We said, 'OK, we have an opening at 7 p.m.' The next thing you know, Wayne's people are saying: 'Can we do it a bit later? He's not going to be ready," the production team member told the newspaper. "We had a crew of 250 people waiting for him ... Then he calls at, like, 9:30 and says, 'I'm five blocks away,' which is like 500 blocks away in New York traffic, so we just pulled the plug. It was just so disrespectful to the crew and to the 5,000 audience members. Unbelievable."
