Young Money front man Lil Wayne hasn’t had the most pleasant of times during his visits to New York City. He was arrested in 2007 and ultimately jailed for gun possession after a show, and earlier this summer he pulled Nicki Minaj from her scheduled performance at Hot 97’s Summer Jam.
In a recent interview, Wayne was asked to speak on that particular Summer Jam situation and it was then did Weezy revealed his dislike for the Big Apple.
“Lil Wayne has never been shy about expressing his disdain for New York, but that didn’t stop Tunechi from rolling through the Roseland Ballroom to rock the stage with Nicki Minaj. ‘Flat out: I don’t like New York’, Weezy told MTV News on Monday night while in Las Vegas to introduce his new line of sneakers with Supra.”
“Wayne’s distaste for the Big Apple performances is understandable, considering it was his 2007 gun arrest after a NYC show that led to his 2010 incarceration. ‘You’re not supposed to leave it at, ‘Everything happens for a reason,’ Wayne said of how the failed Summer Jam set turned into a blessing in disguise. ‘I believe everything happens for a reason and then you make the most of that reason. I think we made the most of it last week.'”
