As everyone knows, Lil Wayne was a "no show" this weekend at the Super Star Fall Fest Sunday night. The Dean's List has been doing a little investigating and has found out that this is becoming a pattern with Weezy lately.
I'm listing stories from different publications all saying the same thing - "Weezy - where in the hell are you?"
Grab a chair - this will take awhile:

MediaTakeOut.com just got this EXPLOSIVE report from one of our faithful readers:
Last night the big hip hop radio station (jamn 94.5) in my area (Boston), had a monster jam concert (yearly concert consisting of multiple artists). The line up was Young Berg, Brandy, Neyo, Lil Wayne, And Jay-Z.
Jay was supposta cap off the night. Young Berg, Brandy and Neyo went did their thing ... then announcers were like you ready for Lil Wayne blah blah blah... then a hype man paused everyone for over an hour.
A security guard gave us the word Weezy was too f*cked up to come out ... all of a sudden Jay-Z comes out performing - absolutely kills it! Then he wraps up, and the crowd is going nuts "we want Weezy"...they get on the mic and say he hasn't showed up yet...
Then they were in a frenzy and Jay-Z came back out and did another performance that was unplanned ... Weezy is a junkie, if it wasn't for the real best rapper alive there woulda been a riot...
In the train stations after the concert Weezy didn't have much fans, I heard a buncha foul sh*t talking ... Jamn 945 (radio station that hosted it) covered up by saying "he wasn't cool with going through security " which is a lie...
Air out Weezy! Please!

Lil Wayne left a sour taste in many upstate New York concertgoer's mouths Sunday night when he decided to cancel his performance leaving Ludacris and Nina Sky to fend for themselves.
According to the Democrat and Chronicle, Lil Wayne was to cap off what was billed the biggest Hip Hop weekend to hit Rochester, New York in recent years including two nights of performances from top Hip Hop stars like Ludacris, T-Pain, and Rick Ross.
Canceling his set after being disappointed with the sound system, according to Blue Cross Arena officials, Lil Wayne left Ludacris at the mercy of angry fans who received news that the star would not be performing.
According to concert goers Ludacris did his best to save the show Sunday night but many fans left after hearing news that Lil Wayne would not be performing. While rocking the stage with his latest hits like "What Them Girls Like," Ludacris received chants for "Weezy" throughout the set.

It has to be good when you get to be as big (no pun intended) as Lil Wayne. You got chicks all over the globe, soon to be wives (Nivea), baby Momma numero uno (Toya) and Baby Momma number two (Sarah), a Daddy who drops a mill on you literally in a club, tracks with everyone and their mothers, brothers, neighbors and their pets plus 8,000 fans who show up to see you perform in Rochester, NY to be told that you jumped ship early becasue the sound system was sub par.
I thought it was all about the fans at the end of the day and if your fans are there chanting your name how can you not go out on stage and at least show that you were in the building, or even attempt to make do with what you have...improvisation is key in music. That is of course you were actually in New York.
Word is Weezy wasn't even in the state and therefore had no intention on showing up at the concert anyway.
I feel another law suit with his name on in the works.

After speaking with a rep for the Boston radio station 94.5 FM, SOHH has learned that mega star Lil' Wayne was a no show for a concert last night (October 28) in Bean Town due to security complications.
The self-proclaimed "Greatest Rapper Alive" was scheduled to perform for urban station 94.5's Monster Jam event alongside other guests including Brandy, Yung Berg, Ne-Yo and Jay-Z. Billed to come on prior to the show's closer, Jay-Z, the New Orleans-bred rapper was a no-show as crowd members anxiously chanted his name.
With scattered rumors beginning to circulate, a Monster Jam rep gave SOHH the inside scoop on what went down with Weezy's missed appearance via a statement.
"Lil' Wayne was at the show but refused to perform because he had to go through a metal detector," the rep told SOHH. "He and his crew refused to comply to standard Boston Police Department guidelines and pass through a metal detector, that EVERY OTHER ARTIST, GUEST AND STAFF MEMBER adhered to, including JAY-Z and his guest LEBRON JAMES! Wayne actually cleared through security - TWICE, BUT then turned back and went to his vehicle after his crew refused to go through security."
Another source attending the event also contacted SOHH to detail the audience's reaction to Weezy's no-show.
"They were tryin to get him back, but no dice," a source wrote to SOHH. "Meanwhile, the DJ is stalling onstage, Weezy's set is still up there and fans are like what the f*ck is going on. Then finally at 9:15, 15 minutes before his set was supposed to end (it was supposed to start at 8:45) they start breaking down Weezy's set and buidling Jay's."
While offering no explanation to the audience during the event, Jay was then introduced accompanied by DJ AM and provided a full 90-minute performance with various hits including "99 Problems," "I Just Wanna Love You (Give It to Me)," "Can I Live" and many others, according to the Boston Globe.
Weezy is currently scheduled to headline tonight's sold out Power 105 FM Powerhouse concert alongside Jay, Ne-Yo and D-Block.

Wayne is receiving backlash from fans for missing two high-profile concert appearances in the last two days.
On Sunday October 26, Wayne abruptly no-showed a headline concert featuring Ludacris, T-Pain, and Rick Ross after being dissatisfied with the venue's sound system.
The angry crowd of 8,000 fans were offered full refunds, and many left before the show's conclusion following the announcement. While Ludacris did his best to salvage the show, concert officials report the Atlanta rapper was greeted with loud Wayne chants throughout his set.
Last night (October 27), Wayne again no-showed in Boston for JAMN's 94.5 Monster Jam.
The concert was set to feature Wayne and Jay-Z as co-headliners. However, reports allege the New Orleans native refused to perform once notified his camp would be screened per the venue's security regulations.
Forced to improvise, Jay-Z took the stage early and was supported by additional performances from Ne-Yo, Yung Berg, Brandy, Ray J, and Jadakiss.
At press time, Lil Wayne could not be reached for comment.
