Drake and Lil Wayne they have been on the music scene for years and have dozens of songs that few people could memorize with perfection. So it was confusing to see fans overreact to the revelation that Drake and Lil Wayne used a teleprompter during a recent concert.
Drake and Lil Wayne joined the stage during a weekend stop in Sunrise, Florida for the Canadian superstar's It's All A Blur tour. The pair performed the track “Right Above It”, which was a single on his 2010 album Tunechi. I'm not human. It was also the theme song for the HBO sports drama Dancers with Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson.
Fans who either attended the show or saw footage noticed that a teleprompter was used to help the two keep up with the song, and it doesn't look like Drizzy or Weezy missed a single beat during their set. That being said, a passionate debate was sparked with many questioning whether the use of teleprompters during a Hip-Hop concert was anything new.
Of course, when you're trying to deliver a perfect set for paying fans, you want to stick the landing, and why wouldn't an artist use every technical advantage to make sure attendees get their money's worth? R&B singers do this all the time, and given the body of work both of these great artists have done, they're certainly not going to remember a song they recorded over 14 years ago.
We've got reactions from fans on X, ex-Twitter, discussing the finer points of using a teleprompter for some strange reason. Pretty silly if you ask us, but hey.
