While the cinematic show in front of 70,000 fans went off without a hitch, some fans hopped online afterward to criticize La Flame\u2019s punctuality.<\/p>\n More from Billboard<\/strong><\/p>\n \u201cTravis Scott finally gets on stage, over an hour late,\u201d one critic wrote on X. Scott himself responded to the disgruntled fan and said the reasons for the delay were out of his control.<\/p>\n \u201cWasn\u2019t a hour late,\u201d he wrote. \u201c[Lightning] delay, brudda. Flame always ready.\u201d Scott wrote, \u201cNever late to a night show.\u201d Billboard reached out to Scott\u2019s reps for additional comment.<\/p>\n Scott was also tweeting right up until he took the stage and clearly couldn\u2019t contain his excitement for the show.<\/p>\n \u201cJOBURGGGGGGGG ITS TIME TO SHOW THE WORLLDDDDDDDDD THE HOW YOU ROCKKKKKK LETS RIDEEEEEE,\u201d Scott wrote in one tweet on Saturday. \u201cU KNOW WHAT I CAME TO SEEEE.\u201d<\/p>\n After the show, he added, \u201cNahhhhhh yall set TONE.\u201d<\/p>\n Still, fans mostly left Saturday\u2019s show overjoyed by Scott, which wasn\u2019t the case during Flame\u2019s performance at the UK\u2019s Leeds Festival in August<\/a>. Scott abruptly ended his headlining set early and left the stage, giving no reason for his departure. One fan theorized Scott may have gotten too close to his pyrotechnics and burned his hand after video showed the rapper shaking his hand before walking off stage<\/a>. Scott never confirmed the reason for his departure but cryptically asked for fans to send him videos after.<\/p>\n \u201cWho got the over head video of the intro of the set at Leeds,\u201d Scott wrote on X. \u201cChampain and dumbo that was maddd wild.\u201d<\/p>\n Billboard\u2019s Live Music Summit will be held in Los Angeles on Nov. 3.
