Lauryn Hill tells fans to be happy she shows up to concerts at all, after complaining about her always being late

Hip-HopVibe.com

Lauryn Hill released one album in her career and she made history with it. "The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill" is considered one of the greatest hip hop albums of all-time. In addition, Lauryn is considered one of the best to ever do it.   Long before it was popular, she could rap and sing. As a result, she was the first female rapper to top Billboard Hot 100 and held the distinction of the only femcee to do so until 2017. In recent years, fans have been disappointed by her being notoriously late to her concerts. She ranted about this before one of her performances, telling fans to be happy she makes the concerts at all.  https://hip-hopvibe.com/news/lauryn-hill-responds-to-criticism-about-being-late-to-her-concerts/
