Lil Wayne did not appear for a scheduled performance at Curacao’s SummerFall Concert Saturday night. There are conflicting reports, however, about exactly why the show didn't go as planned. According to TMZ, organizers from the show cited a seizure as the reason the performance was canceled. However, the celebrity news and gossip outlet was told by Wayne’s camp the performance was canceled for business reasons, and that Wayne is fine.

“The one thing we know—Wayne won't be performing,” TMZ reported. “Wayne's people will only tell TMZ he's not showing up because of a ‘breach of contract.’”

Lil Wayne has suffered multiple seizures since 2012. The most notable of the health scares came in June of 2013 when the rapper was hospitalized. Earlier this year, he reportedly had to land his private jet when suffering from a seizure while traveling.

“I don't know that it happened,” Wayne told Sway Calloway during a 2013 interview with MTV’s RapFix Live. “For me, the actual person, I tell them everyday, ‘Y’all can tell me that y’all was lying.’ I have to believe it. It’s just a regular day. I go to sleep and wake up in the hospital. I don’t feel anything.”

Other artists, such as Fat Joe, took the stage at SummerFall and performed as scheduled without incident. Both Fat Joe and Yo Gotti posted pictures from Saturday’s performance to their Instagram accounts. 

In July, Lil Wayne walked out of a performance at the High Times Cannabis Concentrates Cup Show after approximately 10 minutes.
