Lauryn Hill has been celebrating the 25th anniversary of her debut album The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill with a tour, however, during her latest stop, she addressed the longstanding criticism that she’s never on time for her performances.

On Saturday night (November 4), the legendary singer took the stage in Los Angeles for her concert, which she was slightly late to, and addressed her tardiness.

"Yo, y'all lucky I make it on this blood ras stage every night," the Fugees member told the audience. "I don't do it because they let me do it. I do it because I stand here in the name of God and I do it. God is the one who allows me to do it, who surrounded me with family and community when there was no support."

She continued, "When the album sold so many records, and no one showed up and said, 'Hey, would you like to make another one?' So I went around the world, and I played the same album over and over and over and over again. Because we are survivors, and we're not just survivors, we're thrivers."

This is just the latest example of Lauryn Hill being tardy to a show, nor address such. In 2020, she took to her Facebook page to explain that she wasn’t late due to not caring, rather, it was about her “aligning her energy” with the moment.
