Lauryn Hill‘s chronic lateness saw her hit headlines over the weekend after Atlanta concert-goers booed for turning up over 2 hours after the start time of her concert.

When the news hit social media, the story took on a life of its own – so much so that the former Fugees front-woman was forced to make a statement. Therein she promised to make it up to fans, apologised, but oddly blamed her tardiness on her “energy” needing to be right and how it doesn’t always align with show times.

That didn’t wash with many, including Roots drummer Questlove.

A Lauryn Hill fan has taken a direct approach to voicing his anger with the star following her late arrival to an Atlanta concert last night.

As reported, the Fugees star hit the stage more than two hours later than billed and the show was abruptly cut short – much to the displeasure of those in attendance (as well as those who’ve experienced similar at her shows).

No explanation was given and that was reason enough for said supporter to pop off like a firework when Hill attempted to shake hands with folk in the front row.

“Respect is just a minimum.”

Unfortunately, respect was nowhere to be seen at Chicago‘s ‘House of Blues’ last week, when ‘Zion’ singer Lauryn Hill arrived an hour and twenty minutes to her own show at the venue.

How she apologised for her tardiness? Well…she didn’t, going on to slam her audience for complaining about her late arrival.

Then, as if they hadn’t suffered enough, looked on as she asked the venue’s security to boot one of her fans out of the venue for “doing something I don’t like.”

‘Triparto’ vocalist Sia was one of the many Lauryn Hill supporters to arrive at LA‘s Club Nokia to catch the singer live last night, doing so after the release of her Beyonce-led single ‘Pretty Hurts.’

Unfortunately, like the aforementioned many, the ‘Diamonds’ writer enjoyed nothing but an empty stage well after the show was due to begin, prompting her to share the following message with her Twitter audience below.

It’s a great week to be Glorilla.

As if watching her debut album, the October 11-released ‘Glorious,’ be greeted with swarms of critical acclaim wasn’t enough to boast, the project entered the Billboard 200 with the highest first-week sum captured by any female Rap album released this year.

What’s more, multiple songs from the star-studded LP made noise on singles charts with ‘Whatchu Kno About Me‘ becoming her latest Hot 100 top 40 smash and ‘Rain Down on Me‘ topping the Gospel tally in record fashion.

However, the success of ‘Rain’ isn’t the only way Glo’s made a splash in Billboard history books this weeks.

Lauryn Hill may have developed quite the reputation for being late to everything, but she certainly found time to clock the shocking lawsuit rendered by her Fugees bandmate Pras after news broke on Tuesday (October 1) that he is suing her for fraud and breach of contract.

The Fugees are no strangers to falling out.

And their latest wrangle follows the sudden cancellation of the group’s hotly anticipated reunion tour. As reported, the North American leg of which was scrapped just three days before it was set to kick off.

Fans were none too impressed and, as it turns out, neither was co-founder Pras Michel.

For, the performer has sued Lauryn Hill for fraud and breach of contract.

Lauryn Hill has stunned with her latest performance.

From naming Nicki Minaj as the greatest female rapper of all time to crowning her hit ‘Super Bass‘ as the greatest female Hip-Hop song ever on its ‘500 Best Pop Songs List,’ Billboard is no stranger to making tongues wag and jaws drop over the years for their polarizing “best-ever” tallies.

That trend is one that continued with their latest list, ‘The 100 Best Rap Albums of All Time,’ which was comprised solely of studio albums and ranked its roster based on commercial performance on Billboard as well as subjective criteria like cultural impact, longevity, and more.

And while the list was expectedly male-dominated (with Nas‘ groundbreaking 1994 LP ‘Illmatic‘ printed at #1), its inclusion of females was undoubtedly noteworthy.

Look inside to see what ladies got a nod from the Music Bible.
