On March 12 at approximately 9:30 p.m., rapper Lil Wayne left his performance at NSU’s Shark Jam 30 minutes early after the DJ started to play the wrong song.
Meredith Wogalter, sophomore biology major, works at the Office of Student Events and Activities and said “I was sitting outside the venue, and, all of a sudden, someone came over the headset and said he had left the show. He actually drove away when he was supposed to be performing.”
Approximately 3,000 students and members of the general public attended the concert. Lil Wayne was scheduled to perform until 10 p.m., but students said he performed seven songs before storming off of the stage.
Danielle McCalla, senior communication studies major, also works at the Office of Student Events and Activities and said that Lil Wayne had returned to the stage after finishing a half-hour set and that the DJ started to play the song “CoCo” by O.T. Genasis when he was supposed to play a remix of the song without the lyrics so Lil Wayne could perform. After a few seconds, Lil Wayne threw his microphone at the DJ and left the venue.
Katlyn Magnotta, freshman biology major, attended the concert and was disappointed at the outcome of the concert.
“Everyone was pissed and started walking back. They all wanted their money back,” she said. “It’s not fair to us. We paid all this money, and he just left during the middle of the show.”
