Nas was one of the most anticipated acts set to play the One World Concert at Syracuse University on October 9. Unfortunately, the artist was a no-show.
There was no explanation given for his absense, but there was an abundance of feedback [8] on social media following the show. Fans were not pleased.
This isn't the first instance in which Nas simply failed to show up to a show. He was set to perform at a New Years Eve concert in Angola, this year. His absense resulted in the kidnapping [9] of the concert promotors son and the loss of $315k.
Alas, his poor history with attendance has not prevented Cornell University from booking Nas for a show, set to happen on November 10th.
Hopefully Nas [10] has cleaned up his act and will give Cornell a better show than he gave Syracuse (i.e. any show).
