NEW YORK, Sept. 9 (UPI) -- Hip-hop artist Lil' Wayne reportedly didn't perform at the "Fashion Rocks" event in New York because he refused to go through security to get inside the venue.
"He was carrying a bag and refused, point blank, to go through security," a senior production person told the New York Post. "Everyone else -- including Rihanna, Chris Brown, Beyonce, Justin Timberlake and Kid Rock -- went through security, and we couldn't make an exception. He's obviously not a Boy Scout and has a history with drugs and guns. But he wouldn't budge and refused to have his bag searched or have a security wand passed over him."
