The Hot Boys will finally reunite at Lil Wayne’s Lil Weezyana Festival, presented by Live Nation, on November 2.
On stage at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., and Turk will perform classics once again as the legendary Cash Money group. Other acts announced for this year’s Lil Weezyana Fest include a DJ set by Mannie Fresh and fellow New Orleans recording artist Rob49.
Hot Boys’ reunion at Weezyana Fest follows their original scheduled appearance at Essence Fest celebrating Cash Money Records’ 30th anniversary in July. At Essence Fest, Turk was absent and Lil Wayne performed a solo set on the night’s finale after Cash Money’s Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, Birdman, and B.G. took the stage.
Lil’ Weezyana Fest has become a signature event celebrating New Orleans’ rich music culture. Live Nation Urban’s Brandon Pankey highlighted the festival as a testament to the city’s vibrant music scene, expressing pride in its continued partnership and growth.
The Hot Boys, known for their influential albums “Get It How U Live!!,” “Guerrilla Warfare,” and “Let Em’ Burn,” are set to rekindle the magic with hits like “I Need A Hot Girl,” “We On Fire,” and “Respect My Mind.” Earlier this year, Rob49 and Lil Wayne collaborated on the hit song “Wassam Baby.”
After B.G.’s release for prison, Hot Boys reunion album and tour became a popular demand by the fans. B.G. would resign with Cash Money and began releasing new music immediately. Wayne spoke on the possibility of a Hot Boys reunion during his interview with Y.G.
“We’ve spoken about it a few times but, you know, they have situations,” Weezy told YG. “Like B.G. just coming home so he gotta figure out: can he tour? Can he travel? And things like that.”
Lil’ Weezyana Fest 2024 promises to be a memorable event, celebrating the legacy of the Hot Boys and Lil Wayne’s enduring influence on the New Orleans music scene.
