Lauryn Hill performing at Amnesty International’s “Bringing Human Rights Home” Concert in New York in February 2014. Hill took the stage in Pittsburgh, on Tuesday, more than three hours late.

PITTSBURGH >> Only a fraction of the audience had stuck around when singer-rapper Lauryn Hill took the stage in Pittsburgh more than three hours late.

A disc jockey on the bill, DJ Motormane, tells the Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (http://bit.ly/2kVN3X0) that Hill was at Heinz Hall by 5:30 p.m. to rehearse for Tuesday night’s 8 p.m. show, but that her band apparently was delayed by weather.

Motormane played until about 9:30 p.m. followed by musician Paul Beaubrun, before Hill’s DJ took the stage at 10:30 p.m.

The newspaper says Hill didn’t take the stage until 11:20 p.m., playing until about 1 a.m. for those who stayed instead of requesting refunds.

Hill’s spokeswoman didn’t immediately comment Wednesday.

But fans lit up Twitter with comments including, “I will never pay to see her again. Ever.”

    Her whole career history is a ‘disaster,’ in the words of POTUS. She is the music equivalent of Dave Chapelle. Genetic defect? See the commonality?
