其未对此前上海站演唱会事件进行回应。
7月13日23时许，YE上海演唱会主办方@上海星珀文化StellarAmberGroup发布声明，就“侃爷”7月12日的“YE LIVE IN SHANGHAI”演唱会未按原定时间准时开演致歉。
The organizer of YE's rain-soaked Shanghai concert has issued a public apology after the rapper arrived over 40 minutes late and left early without addressing the crowd.
声明中称：“对因天气原因，导致舞台核心视觉元素和烟雾效果无法按标准呈现深表遗憾。但为了17年回归之旅，YE团队坚持艺术完整性优先，经紧急调试后延迟开场时间以确保最佳体验，尽量不让到场的观众失望。”
“对于诸多现场观众所给予的理解与包容，我们备受感动，在此表达衷心的感谢！对于给大家造成的困扰和不便，我们再次表达最衷心的歉意，亦感谢各位的关注与陪伴！”
In a statement released on Sunday, the organizer said the show's "core visual elements and smoke effects" failed to meet performance standards due to the downpour.
It added that YE's team insisted on maintaining "artistic integrity" and delayed the start in hopes of recalibrating the show.
"We deeply regret the situation," the statement read, while thanking fans for their "understanding and tolerance".

“侃爷”在上海的演唱会原定于7月12日晚19:30开场，却迟至20:20左右才开始唱；约22:00，“侃爷”毫无预警草草离场，最终未返场谢幕。
据悉，该演唱会票价在980元-2680元不等，有观众在雨中大喊退票。
The July 12 concert, held at the 72,000-seat Shanghai Stadium, was scheduled for 7:30 pm. Fans, left waiting in the rain, chanted "Refund" as the delay dragged on.
YE launched into the show without apology and exited the stage around 10:00 pm without a goodbye.
Ticket prices for the show ranged from 980 to 2,680 yuan (US$370).
对于这一致歉，不少歌迷并不买账。不少网友纷纷质疑：“好省钱的演出，就是来圈钱的吧”“这个钱太好赚了”。
“天眼查”显示，主办方上海星珀文化于5月22日注册成立，该演唱会于6月12日获演出许可，6月23日官宣，7月2日预售，7月12日演出，从公司成立到演出不足两月。
Public records show that the concert was organized by Shanghai Stellar Amber Group, a company founded on May 22, less than two months before the show, according to business database Tianyancha.
