Anita Baker cancels her concert 15 MINUTES before start time. 😳

And so, you know, some, you know, the Internet tried to offer, like, alternative activities. Okay. The concerts canceled, but we got all these other things going on in Atlanta this weekend, so. But you came for Anita. You didn't come to party in Atlanta. So my heart goes out to all of those who were on their way there or in line waiting to get inside and learned of this news

And I was sitting in the arena and he was sitting on stage. He had let his. His band go off, and he was sitting there and people were singing along with some of his hits, that he was playing the acoustic guitar and singing just himself on stage. He actually stopped a few times to tell people, I really would appreciate it if you don't sing along. So he had a bad night, too. He just didn't cancel the show

And then when you have everything set up to seek, because for me, I'm taking them to court. Because if she's not sick, then there's no reason why she couldn't have given a concert that I want to be totally reimbursed for my hotel fee, my, if I'm driving, or my plane tickets, however I get there, I want my gas, I want everything back

So it's just like, I think, for me, in my opinion, when it comes to our older artists and stuff like that, I think people should be more mindful of the fact that, okay, there is a higher probability that something may happen to this concert, especially if they're over the age of 50. So I need to have a plan b just in case. Now, you know, you don't have to really worry about that often with the younger artists

Yeah, but I hate it for everybody that, you know, got there on time and had their mamas and, you know, paid all this money, you know, because, like you say, rental cars, accommodations, just the fact that their mom had to pack, get excited, put the clothes in the suitcase. Oh, yeah, I'm aware this

They don't care that you drove 6 hours to get there. They don't care that you paid dollar 200 for tickets or none of that stuff. It's like, it's canceled. I ain't going on. And they don't even issue apologies. Like, I can't even recall the last time I seen an artist issue an apology for having to cancel a show. They don't even apologize anymore. It's like, it's canceled. Sorry

Hey, thank you so much for your response, and I agree. I think that if you really want to make everyone whole, you refund everything. Concert tickets, hotel fees, rental car fees, airfare, whatever expenses went into getting to this venue and being there for this event, I think that everybody should be made whole in that regard. Now, airfare, you may not get that back because you did make it to your destination city, so you may not get that back

What can I do for the future? And I think that's smart. Like, how can I invest my money in a way where when I do retire, my money is still making money for me without me having to get out here and do tours and concerts. So miss Anita just may not be in the position where she can just comfortably retire. Maybe she has to work to pay her bills. And that's unfortunate for a lot of older artists. They really just aren't

But if you say out of your mouth that the energy has to be right and you're taking my money, we have a problem. So as long as she's posting it on social media after the concert is over and done with and shit, you know what? I'll support it. But until you show me a commitment to taking my money and actually showing up at your shows, I can't do it. I don't need that trauma in my life. You know what she say

So I was scrolling on Instagram and I literally had to come back and show this to you because I thought it was so funny. So I scrolled all the way down back to this. Well, just so I could give you this screenshot. I just thought you would find this funny
