Lil Wayne has revealed the lineup for the 2024 edition of his annual Lil Weezyana Fest, set to take place on November 2 at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. The highlight of the event is the highly anticipated reunion of the legendary rap group Hot Boys, featuring Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G. and Turk.
Other notable acts scheduled to perform include:
Mannie Fresh, who will be doing a special DJ set
Rob49, who recently collaborated with Lil Wayne on the track “Wassam Baby”
The festival will also feature surprise guests to round out the exciting lineup.
Brandon Pankey, Vice President of Business Development & Operations at Live Nation Urban, expressed his enthusiasm for the event, stating:
“Lil Wayne embodies the spirit of New Orleans, and Lil’ Weezyana Fest is a stellar showcase of the city’s dynamic and flourishing music scene. Live Nation Urban celebrates this amazing event and is proud to continue to partner and cultivate the growth of this festival for years to come.”
The Hot Boys, known for their classic albums like Get It How U Live!!, Guerrilla Warfare, and Let Em’ Burn, have faced some challenges in reuniting due to personal issues and legal troubles. However, Lil Wayne previously hinted at the possibility of a reunion, saying:
“I think we spoke about it a few times, but you know they have situations — like B.G. just coming home. So, he gotta work it out: Can he tour? Can he travel? You know what I mean, things like that. You know [Juvenile is] ready and Turk [is] ready, but we really gotta see if Geezy can move around and all that.”
B.G.’s release from a 14-year prison sentence in 2023 paved the way for the Hot Boys to finally come together and perform for their fans once again at Lil Weezyana Fest 2024.
