Lil Wayne’s absence from the huge Cash Money vs No Limit Records Verzuz battle shocked many fans! This epic rap showdown happened at ComplexCon in Las Vegas on October 25, and everyone eagerly waited for Lil Wayne, especially since he dropped his album The Carter VI in June with the hit track “Hip-Hop.” But why did Lil Wayne skip this legendary event? Rapper B.G. spilled the beans during a chat on The Breakfast Club podcast on October 31. He revealed that Lil Wayne was not feeling well at all. “He told me that he wasn’t feeling good, and that he had to go to the hospital. People be thinking it was whatever, but at the end of the day, we ain’t spring chickens no more,” B.G. said. B.G. also mentioned that Lil Wayne even canceled another show on the same night because of his health. Swizz Beatz, who helped bring back Verzuz battles with Timbaland, was reportedly unhappy with Wayne’s absence, but everyone understood it was all about his well-being. This isn't the first time the rapper canceled shows recently. Lil Wayne missed concerts in Toronto and Oklahoma City earlier this year, showing that his health is taking priority these days. Despite Lil Wayne not being there in person, Cash Money gave fans a powerhouse show during the Verzuz battle. The crowd went wild when they played Wayne’s song “A Milli.” Classics like “Back That Azz Up” and “Make Em’ Say Uhh” from both labels kept the energy sky-high. Fans did miss seeing Lil Wayne live, but the battle certainly did not disappoint! So, the answer is clear: Lil Wayne wasn’t there because he was sick and had to focus on his health. The rap world sends their wishes for his speedy recovery, hoping to see him back on stage soon!
