Last night we were all tuned in to music’s biggest night, the 58th Annual Grammy Awards. We watched to see what artists would win big or to see some of the amazing performances. However, it turns out Rihanna wasn’t the only one who couldn’t make it to the Grammy stage.
It was reported that Lauryn Hill was expected to hit the stage for a surprise performance with The Weeknd, but of course we all know that didn’t happen. Following the performance fans took to social media to express their frustrations for not seeing Ms. Hill hit the stage.
In response to the the social media frenzy, her rep issued a statement that mentioned scheduling issues but also that there was no definite confirmation that she would perform.
The statement read, “The Grammy’s announced a performance by Ms. Lauryn Hill prematurely and without approval. Ms. Hill had concerts all weekend, leaving no time to prepare, and was uncertain she would even be able to make it to LA in time to rehearse for the event. Any performance that could have happened was never confirmed, and should not have been advertised as such, Ms. Hill was invited to do a collaboration with an artist she appreciates. The performance was intended to be a surprise and unfortunately due to its last minute nature, was unable to come to fruition. “
Although The Weeknd did a great job holding down the stage solo, it would have been dope to see these two come together on stage.
