During her most recent appearance in Los Angeles on Saturday night, the singer celebrated the 25th anniversary of her debut album, “The Miseducation of Lauryn Hill,” by performing live.
She said that her fans are fortunate that she can attend her shows and entertain them each night.
Even though she acknowledged the lateness, the 48-year-old singer and member of Fugees was also a little late to the Los Angeles performance.
She said, “Yo, y’all lucky I make it on this blood ras stage every night,” Hill told the crowd. “I don’t do it because they let me do it. I do it because I stand here in the name of God, and I do it. God is the one who allows me to do it, who surrounded me with family and community when there was no support.”
She continued, “When the album sold so many records, and no one showed up and said, ‘Hey, would you like to make another one?’ So, I went around the world, and I played the same album over and over and over and over again. Because we are survivors, and we’re not just survivors, we’re thrivers.”

Remember that Hill had previously talked about her habit of keeping supporters waiting back in 2020.
Accordingto reports, she used her Facebook page to clarify that her being late wasn’t caused by a lack of concern for her followers. Rather, she stated that she focuses on “aligning her energy” with the current situation.
“I don’t show up late to shows because I don’t care,” she wrote.
“And I have nothing but Love and respect for my fans. The challenge is aligning my energy with the time, taking something that isn’t easily classified or contained, and trying to make it available for others.
I don’t have an on/off switch. I am at my best when I am open, rested, sensitive and liberated to express myself as truthfully as possible,” she said.
