I feel bad for the arena staff tho bc people are NOT happy.
Fans are also connecting this recent incident with the Lovers and Days concert, which was also canceled moments before the show was supposed to start.
Funny how the Lovers and Friends concert in Las Vegas was canceled last Saturday about 15 minutes before it started, and now the Anita Baker concert tonight in Atlanta was canceled, 15 minutes before it started. Makes you say: pic.twitter.com/m4Oty90waR
