Lil Wayne Denies Engagement and Confirms Breakup

The clarification ties a doctor’s travel warning to a canceled show, a rescheduled date, requests to stop harassing an identified woman.

Overview

  • In a livestream posted Sunday, Lil Wayne said he was never engaged to 23-year-old Madi Cannon, that they have split, and that he ended the relationship to avoid being a burden and to protect her from online harassment.
  • Wayne said a severe migraine on the night of the June 30 tour opener raised seizure risk, his doctor advised against flying, and he apologized while rescheduling the Bangor, Maine show for July 28 with refunds available.
  • The tour has continued despite the disruption, with Wayne due to perform in Des Moines on July 16 and facing fan anger after arriving roughly two hours late for a July 3 show in Gilford, New Hampshire.
  • His account notes a long history of seizures, including past in-flight and on-tour incidents, which he cited to explain the medical caution behind skipping the Maine date.
  • The engagement story began with TMZ reports in May and spread on social media, and Wayne used his statement to push back on rumor-driven coverage and to ask that the woman not be harassed.
