Summary: After opening for Gwen Stefani earlier in the evening, British rapper Lady Sovereign makes it to Studio B in Brooklyn for a late night set. However, she spends most of it (after each of two songs) explaining that she's depressed, broke, didn't want to do this show, hasn't been able to create any new songs, and that "America F's you up -- F America." Then she says she can't continue and leaves. It looks like this business has taken a major toll on her. All this came after keeping the crowd waiting at least 90 minutes. She arrived on stage at 3:30 a.m. and was gone by 3:55.

Ummm... she was 90 minutes late, and the audience was unimpressed? Presumably an audience that's not entirely from better neighbourhoods either and who had, at least some of them, to save the money for the tickets by not doing other things they would've enjoyed? Who maybe left work early or changed shifts to be at the gig in time?
Sure, being her age and in the business must be difficult, not that I could judge it. Still it's virtually spitting in the face of the people who have paid to see you, respect you for your art, not your personal attitude, and who might aspire to be like you to get out of THEIR chav neighbourhood to show up that late, talk about your problems and refuse to give them a show.
It's service industry (if high profile), people pay to get a performance from you. If she was a fire performer and did something comparable, we'd all be criticising her lack of professional attitude now.
