American Music Awards

the AMA's were sunday night. lil wayne was nominated for 2-3 awards. he didn't win any awards. jimmy kimmel made a joke about him not being able to show up. no one has reported this, but i believe wayne had problems at the nokia theatre. he has had problems in the past couple weeks with security wanting to check him and his entourage before they enter the venue. i think that wayne won the awards and they gave them to kanye, or 2nd place b/c wayne wasn't there. it makes no sense for wayne not to win. his cd, "tha carter III" sold 1 million in the first week. he is the biggest rock star alive right now.

Lil Wayne Fans Upset
(Rochester, N.Y.)-About 8,000 people showed up Sunday night to see Lil Wayne and other acts at the Blue Cross Arena, including the rapper Ludacris. But it wasn’t until the middle of the concert that folks found out that Lil Wayne, or Weezie, as fans call him, was a no-show.

Spokespeople say he didn’t like the Blue Cross Arena’s sound system.

Now, fans are waiting to see if they will get their money back, or if Lil Wayne will return to the area to do another concert.

Angela Simpson drove in from Brockport on Wednesday to get her daughter’s money back, was told to check back on Friday.

“It's a waste of time,” Simpson said, “because he did it three times already, including Rochester. So you know, it's not fair to the fans.”

Simpson says her daughter is upset; she attended the concert for her birthday, and wasn’t able to see Lil Wayne.

This is not the first time Lil Wayne has backed out of a show at the last minute. Monday night, the night after he was scheduled to appear in Rochester, Lil Wayne refused to go onstage for about 20,000 fans in Boston.

The Blue Cross Arena says they are holding all of the ticket money until a decision on refunds or another concert is made. They have contacted the attorney general’s office, which is currently monitoring the situation.

The local promoters of the concert say they’re trying to see if the hip hop star will come back and do another show. They may not have an answer on that until the end of the week.

In the meantime, ticket holders are becoming increasingly frustrated.
