The venue also says these procedures are not just for performers, but for anyone entering the club.
Lil Wayne canceled his latest concert in Minneapolis after some of his crew members refused to be searched by the club’s security on June 21.
According to Minneapolis, Minnesota news station Fox 9, fans of Lil Wayne were stood up this week after the rapper’s entourage refused to go through security.
A statement published on the Venue’s Facebook page elaborates on those procedures - an exterior pat-down and metal detection, and presenting an ID for proof-of-age.
While Lil Wayne was cleared to enter, The Venue says several other members of his group refused to take part in the safety check.
Upon his arrival, Lil Wayne was permitted entry into The Venue in order to perform. These safety procedures are explained and provided to each performer in advance of any performance or concert that occurs at The Venue.
The safety of its patrons, its performers, and its staff members is and continues to be the number one priority for The Venue.
Officials for the venue say Wayne’s entourage would not comply with safety procedures.
In January, Lil Wayne sued Cash Money Records for $51 million, claiming the label owes him millions and that CEO Bryan “Birdman” Williams, his ex- mentor, is further delaying the release of his long-delayed album The Carter V.
The Venue said it is arranging refunds for tickets that were purchased online.
Last night, The Venue was honored to welcome world-renowned hip-hop star Lil Wayne to perform on its stage.
