Ms. Lauryn Hill publicly addressed her recent late performance at the Essence Festival, where she began her set nearly two hours behind schedule. In her statement, she expressed gratitude towards festival organizers for recognizing their role in the delay. Hill emphasized her comprehensive involvement in every aspect of her live productions, asserting the importance of maintaining the integrity of her message. She countered misconceptions regarding her lateness, clarifying that she actively prepares for her shows with dedication and passion while balancing family responsibilities.
'I rehearse and arrange the music diligently with my band. I am involved in every aspect of design, preparation, and production of my shows while also being a parent, grandparent and steward to my immediate family and community.'
'Some get to focus on a single discipline or category, my role requires that I have eyes everywhere and contribute to most if not every department and more.'
'There seems to be a misconception out there though that I am somewhere on the Riviera with my feet up, drink in hand, showing up to concerts whenever because I'm too important to care.'
