Controversial artist Lil Nas X took to the stage at the Governors Ball music festival in New Yorkβs Flushing Meadows Corona Park on Sunday (June 11), and told concertgoers that he didnβt want to be there.
The provocative hitmaker walked off the stage βfor about 5 to 10 minutesβ at the showβs beginning due to technical difficulties.
After explaining the tech issues, βhe said he had a bad day and just didnβt want to do it,β the source revealed.
Lil Nas X then performed βvery begrudgingly,β and βit was a total downer.β
The insider added that βother sources who attended the concert told us Lil Nas Xβs dancers practically βhad to carry the showβ for the βOld Town Roadβ singer because of ongoing issues with his mic. Weβre told he was looking forward to performing at the fest, but grew frustrated on Sunday after experiencing the technical snafus.β
A separate source mentioned, βThere were a lot of logistics that were off, and it all accumulated onstage when the mic wasnβt working. There were sound and technical difficulties for many artistsβ¦ it affected Lil Nas because heβs a perfectionist, and this was a first for him.β
Reps for the rapper and the festival did not comment.
