Lil Wayne has officially put an end to speculation about a romantic engagement, revealing in a candid video message that he and 23-year-old Madi Cannon are not betrothed, while also offering a deeply personal apology to fans after a missed concert due to a medical emergency.
The hip-hop icon took to social media from Bangor, Maine, where he had previously canceled a performance, to address both the health crisis that forced the cancellation and the swirling rumors about his relationship status. In the video, obtained by 9MagTV, Wayne, 41, spoke directly to his fans, acknowledging the disappointment and promising to make amends.
“I have epilepsy and I have seizures, right? Thank God I haven’t had a seizure in years, but seizures have triggers. The trigger to my seizures are bad migraines. Had a bad migraine that night,” Wayne explained. He stated that medical professionals advised him not to board a plane for the Bangor show, fearing an in-flight medical event. “It was recommended that I don’t get on the plane because they didn’t want an event to happen while in the air,” he added.
The rapper assured ticketholders that their tickets would be honored at a rescheduled date on July 28th, with direct emails being sent to all attendees. For those demanding full refunds, Wayne vowed to personally ensure they are reimbursed. “I swear to God I will do whatever I can to make sure they get you your refund,” he said, his voice heavy with remorse.
Wayne also addressed a late start at a subsequent show in Guilford, New Hampshire, blaming technical difficulties and a circling pilot unable to land due to airport restrictions. He expressed gratitude to fans who waited, saying, “If you were still waiting for me when I got there, I love you, your mom, your sister, your daughter, your brother … and we rock that.”
Then came the relationship revelation. After a pause, Wayne stated plainly, “I’m not engaged. No. No. I had a beautiful thing going with an amazing person, but obviously due to the validity of the temperature of today’s crazy world and culture, I considered I don’t want to be such a burden on such an amazing person. So, we decided to part. But no, not engaged.”
The denial directly contradicts earlier reports and social media buzz linking Wayne to Madi Cannon, a 23-year-old influencer. While Wayne did not name her in the video, the context aligns with recent paparazzi photos and rumors of a ring. The rapper has not publicly dated Cannon before, and the brief relationship appears to have ended amicably.
Wayne’s health has been a long-standing concern for fans. He has spoken openly about his epilepsy since childhood, including a near-fatal seizure in 2013 and multiple hospitalizations. The rapper’s decision to cancel a show due to a migraine trigger underscores the seriousness of his condition, which he manages with medication and lifestyle adjustments.
Looking ahead, Wayne announced his next tour stop in Des Moines, Iowa, urging fans to attend. “I’m coming up … y’all better come catch me, Moonlight, baby,” he said, referencing his upcoming album. The July 28th Bangor makeup show remains the immediate priority.
The video has already sparked widespread reaction online, with fans expressing relief over Wayne’s health explanation and surprise at the engagement denial. The rapper’s transparent, almost rambling delivery added a raw, unfiltered layer to the announcement, reinforcing his reputation for candid communication with his audience.
As the music world digests this dual update—medical apology and relationship clarification—one thing is clear: Lil Wayne remains committed to his craft and his fans, even as he navigates personal and physical challenges. The July 28th date in Bangor now looms as both a professional obligation and a gesture of goodwill.
For now, the engagement rumors are firmly put to rest. Wayne is single, focused on his health, and determined to keep his tour on track. Fans in Des Moines can expect a full, energized performance. And for those in Bangor, a rain check with a heartfelt apology.
