‘Still Over It’ fans were upset after R&B singer Summer Walker refused to perform all of her songs at a recent concert on Feb.20 in Atlanta.

Reportedly, the singer did not perform all songs from her 2021 album Still Over It, such as “Reciprocate,” “Throw It Away,” and “Session 33”.

Walker stated she refused to perform the songs due to them being fresh wounds.

“I want you to know that, you know, this sh*t is real. I write a lot of my stuff. I write most of my stuff and it’s still a fresh wound,” said the singer while on stage, “My baby, she not even 1 yet and I ain’t got time to be singing that s**t, crying in front of y’all. So, I sang what I could and I hope that y’all still enjoy the show.”

Later in her performance, she surprised fans with SZA to perform their hit single “No Love”. 

However, fans were still upset and took their thoughts to Twitter. One fan wrote “I really tried to give a lil grace to her [because] I understand anxiety. But she really bout the laziest artist I’ve ever seen. She always got excuses.”

Walker, though, took to Instagram to defend herself by promoting her series on the wellness platform, Mindset. 

The caption read “For those struggling with social anxiety or feeling out of place, I just want to say that I hear you. I’ve experienced so much hate and scrutiny for my anxiety, and I hope that talking about my experiences through my Mindset series makes you feel less alone.”

A few of the Walker’s upcoming performances include the Billboard Women In Music Awards,  Broccoli City Fest, Sol Blume Festival and the Roots Picnic.
