Charlamagne called Lil Wayne out for being "corny" by abruptly ending his latest concert in Los Angeles. The Young Money rapper was upset with the audience for not being excited about his artists Lil Twist, Yaj Kader, and Allan Cubas. Charlamagne addressed the viral incident on The Breakfast Club, Monday.
"That's corny," Charlamagne began. "You can't be upset because the crowd not feeling your artist. And I'm sure Wayne has been there before. I'm sure that the was a time he might've brought, even a Drake out way way way back in the day and people weren't paying attention to Drake. Or he might've brought a Nicki out way way way back in the day and people weren't paying attention to Nicki. Or Tyga. All of these people who ended up blowing up. Everybody starts somewhere."
