Lauryn Hill Addresses 'Nonsense' Idea That She's 'Too Important to Care' About Being Late to Shows
Lauryn Hill wants to set the record straight on her history of tardiness. The musician’s most recent late start was at Essence Festival, where she took the stage to a significantly sparse crowd at 2:30 a.m. The festival organizers acknowledged that she arrived on time, and the delays were due to their own production issues. In a lengthy statement on Instagram, Hill commended Essence Fest for taking accountability instead of letting her take the fall — something she doesn’t plan on allowing to happen again.
“Thank you Essence for clarifying that the delays were not my fault,” Hill wrote. “I’m often quiet, knowing full well that God fights my battles. But this is not the first time production delays have delayed my performances. This IS however the first time a promoter has acknowledged the slip up on their end, and this will be the last time I’ll allow production challenges to look like the fault is mine alone, when they aren’t.”

Lauryn Hill slams Essence Festival 'nonsense': 'Delays were not my fault'
Lauryn Hill is slamming the narrative surrounding her 2025 Essence Festival of Culture performance delays over the holiday weekend.
The "Killing Me Softly With His Song" hitmaker took to social media Tuesday, July 8, to address "nonsense" surrounding her Essence Fest set, thanking "Essence for clarifying that the delays were not my fault."
Hill took the stage at 2:30 a.m. local time in New Orleans for the annual festival and celebration of Black culture on Friday, July 4, to a smaller crowd than she would typically attract.
"Family, let me address a few things: I am involved in every aspect of what it takes to put on my shows, because it requires THAT much involvement to protect the integrity of my message and the quality of what I do," Hill added.
