Charlamagne says it was "corny" for Lil Wayne to stop his concert in L.A. and blame the fans.

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."

As for Wayne's show, he arrived an hour late and only performed for 30 minutes before ending the concert. "We appreciate it, but we ain’t about to be bending over backwards for these folks," he said on stage. "We work too hard for this shit, we work way too hard. This my motherfuckin’ artist Allan, that was Twist, that was Yaj. We are Young Money. We appreciate y’all time."

When Charlamagne's comments were posted on Instagram, many fans agreed with him. "Young money BEEN wack," one fan commented. "Can’t make ppl wait for hours, stop early, then put on ppl no one cares about…" As for those in attendance, they voiced their frustrations all over social media. “I’ll never look at Lil Wayne the same after tonight," one fan shared on Twitter. "He really canceled his concert mid-show bc the audience (I am the audience) sat down while he took a smoke and piss break. Refunds are in order.”
