lol maybe she saw how the weeknd really sounded and was like I'm good lol. Or maybe she found out how he doesn't like black women and that was the final push lol. Not difficult being a fan for me, I think just understanding how she is, helps with stuff like this lol. Anyway, have a good evening y'all!
She was prob late though, but all of that probably just ties into her being a perfectionist and wanting to be her best, it not being set in stone/confirmed I think allowed her an out if she didn't feel as though it was good to go. I get it, but if you got too much to do and not enough time to prepare, decline no matter how much you want to be there. Maaannnn, Lauryn lol. We were so ready! I don't see how anyone can appreciate the weeknd; he cannot sing worth a damn.

I see some media websites are posting the statement from Ms. Hill's camp, and still stating she was just a no-show, as well as Rihanna who had bronchitis. Personally, I do know this... their was obvious info about Lauryn performing at the Grammys days before the Grammys, as I provided audio on here of Lauryn singing the Weeknd song. We all then questioned why she was having shows in Boston, when the Grammys advertised that she would be there. If she wasn't gonna show I think she would have nip that in the bud all last week when the Grammys were advertising her appearance. Her crew took a private plane to Los Angeles last night right after the show in Boston. The ones who didn't took regular flights that morning; matter of fact on some social media blogs screen caps of Selah going into a rant was posted about missing her flight to LA that morning, she arrived later doing the Grammys.
I think Lauryn was stated/wanted to perform, and traveled to LA to perform; no one flys private just to travel to LA with a large crew for nothing. After band rehearsals at 8 AM it was decided that the Grammys didn't have room for her band and the Weeknd band at the same time, so she was supposed to still perform just without her band. That pic that was floating around the net with Lauryn and the Weeknd was taken at 8 AM; all day it was still on for Lauryn to perform, just not with her band. She was a no show. Personally, I believe Lauryn was just late, and as with anything the show must go on. I believe if the Weeknd performance was later during the Grammys... Lauryn would have showed. She's right though, her performance was supposed to be a surprise. Thats why when I posted that audio I deleted it within an hour or two, because I did not want to get anyone in trouble. However, when Selim posted that pic which her band member posted to his instagram, then deleted... with the blogs sharing that photo from Selim Instagram I'm sure such also played into her not showing up. I believe after this things with Lauryn and knowing what is going on may enter a stage of lock-down in her camp. Her bandmates were very excited about performing; yet, I don't blame them for posting stuff to social media, it was the fans who took their pics... posted them on their instagram causing a media firestorm...
Which sort of proves the point of their being an interest and need for Lauryn, which it appears she don't see. She hasn't released an album since 1998, yet in 2016 people were expecting, waiting, and wanting what she has to offer yet it appears she still doesn't want to really share.
I believe she was late to the performance, that pic and the media saying she will perform was all over the net and social media all day; her camp didn't make not one statement during the day to say she will NOT perform, her band members were still saying she was performing 3 hours before show time. It was not till after the Weeknd performance that Lauryn camp put out a message. If things were as they described wouldn't they have shut it down before show time? If you watch the Weeknd performance he continues to look back, during the whole performance, as if he's expecting someone to come out... it never happens... He rocked it solo, and was a trending topic all night on twitter... Just another missed opportunity.
At this point Ms. Hill is just a touring act, until she decides otherwise.
I ain't gonna lie, I was really excited, and really thought this time she was gonna show... everything was in order for her too... All the sources were on it... I guess with Ms. Hill you can never know.

I don't think Lauryn was a no-show, I just think she didn't come out on stage lol, although we don't know whether she showed up to the staples center or not so...ask your friend what happened lol. It's gon' be some serious ass lock down in her camp. IDK what happened...yea this would have been huge for her.

Jay posted this on his instagram: "I have no idea what happened. She was supposed to perform with the Weeknd. She did say that if she didn't feel comfortable that she wasn't going to do it. I know a big part of that was that we (her band) wasn't backing her."

If she was not happy that her band wouldn't play then she could've backed out when the decision to exclude them was made. She was only a guest for only 2 minutes of the entire performance, she was treating it like she was the main performer lol

I told y'all the weeknd kept looking back during his performance... He was expecting her to come out. Sorry, but that was extremely unprofessional.

Well who knows..I don't think she's lying but I do think she could be carefully wording the situation, where it's not really lying lol. How much Jay really knows outside of 'she was supposed to perform' may be different than what was taking place behind the 'Grammy's and Lauryn being confirmed or not' IDK, just speculating here. Personally, I think she found out this negro don't deal with Black women lol, that would make me uncomfortable. Who knows, night y'all.

I think its more so based on his image, and commercialization factor. The Weeknd is Ethiopian, if you know anything about Habesha people they do not date or marry out like that. 99% of Habesha men marry Habesha women (Black women). When the time comes I'm more certain he will marry a Black Ethiopian woman, any other marriage will not be accepted. However, I just think circumstances like this will cause more people to NOT want to associate with her; people were already saying she wasn't gonna show when the media said she was supposed to perform. Anyway, oh well... I won't believe anything else unless I hear or see it with my own eyes. lol Goodnight.

He is mixed himself, so I doubt he'll go back to the traditional undertakings of an Ethiopian marriage. The majority of these Black men who are raised overseas date or marry non-Black women. I don't think he will be any different. RUMORS around suggested he didn't want Black women in a club, again rumors, IDK, but he seems like the type to have some self-hatred. Yes, it was disappointing not seeing her, but what can you do lol. Goodnight to you too.

Lauryl Hill at it again, another missed opportunity. The way people were hyping this on social media I even slept late. Very disappointed in her and so unprofessional. I don't like the Weeknd's music but her being at the Grammys was going to be phenomenal. Why is Lauryn Hill always on these self sabotage tirades. Who is really managing her currently. Can we get a petition for Jason Jackson to manage this woman's career once more. I am seriously losing hope.

I remember watching the performance and there were 2 moments when I thought she was gonna come out. After the first song it seems like the weeknd missed a part and then starting ablibing. Another part was at the 2nd song you see someone walking on the stage behind him. I give up on her sadly. I feel bad for the weekend. He loves lauryn. Can u imagine thinking u were gonna perform and she leaves u on stage alone ? Not cool
