Lil Wayne made the choice to cancel all YMCMB performances at Hot 97 Summer Jam after Hot 97 personality Peter Rosenberg had this to say about headliner Nicki Minaj.
“I know there are some chicks here waiting to sing ‘Starships’ later, I’m not talking to y’all right now, f*ck that bullsh*t, I’m here to talk about real Hip-Hop sh*t.”
Personally I agree with the statement, but think it was said in the wrong context and was unprofessional, especially from an employee of the radio station (Hot 97) that hired her as the headliner of one of the biggest concerts of the year. Lil Wayne has every right in my opinion to stand up for his artists and cancel all the performances. You do not get paid for a performance to be dissed by someone in the organization that hired you.
I cannot imagine how mad Hot 97 must be having lost many of their biggest acts, Lil Wayne, Drake, Nicki Minaj, and more YMCMB artists. When you have power you must know when to use it, I would have done the same thing that Lil Wayne did. He just ensured Peter Rosenberg wont be hearing the end of this anytime soon from his "higher-ups".
