Lil Wayne Postpones Toronto Concert Due to Unforeseen Illness
Lil Wayne


Hip-hop icon Lil Wayne, born Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., was forced to postpone his highly anticipated Toronto concert at Budweiser Stage on August 11, 2025, just an hour before showtime due to an unforeseen illness. The announcement, shared via the venue’s social media and displayed on screens, left fans disappointed after doors had opened at 6 p.m. for the THA CARTER VI TOUR stop, which celebrates his latest album, THA CARTER VI, released in June 2025. The venue assured fans that all previously purchased tickets will be honored for a rescheduled date, yet to be announced, emphasizing Wayne’s commitment to delivering top-tier performances.

The cancellation, part of Lil Wayne’s North American THA CARTER VI TOUR featuring support acts like Tyga and DJ T-Lewis, sparked frustration among attendees, many of whom had traveled long distances or secured babysitters. Posts on X captured the sentiment, with fans expressing disappointment but also well-wishes, referencing Wayne’s past health struggles, including epilepsy. “Lil Wayne telling us ‘Mothaf*cka, I’m Ill!’” one user quipped, alluding to his hit A MILLI. While some speculated about border issues, no official details on the illness were disclosed. With upcoming shows in cities like Detroit and Los Angeles, fans await news of the rescheduled Toronto date to experience Wayne’s electrifying set, including tracks like 3 PEAT and LOLLIPOP from his storied discography.
