Lil Wayne plans to hold a proper Hot Boys reunion at his annual music festival later this year.
On Tuesday, September 3, Live Nation Urban announced the lineup for Lil Weezyana Fest 2024. The flyer reads "Lil Wayne presents a Hot Boys Reunion" with Juvenile, B.G. and Turk with a special DJ set by Mannie Fresh plus a performance from fellow New Orleans rapper Rob49. The festival — produced by Young Money, DMANI and Live Nation Urban — is going down on November 2 at the Smoothie King Center, which is across the street from the venue where Hot Boys first attempted to reunite over the summer.
Earlier this year, Birdman announced a Cash Money reunion during Essence Fest. Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G., and Mannie Fresh were booked to perform as part of Cash Money's festivities to honor the iconic record label's 30th anniversary. Fans were excited to see the entire group perform classic hits like "Bling Bling" and Juvenile's "Back That Azz Up" together for the first time in years, but that didn't happen. During the show, Birdman, Juvenile, B.G., and Mannie Fresh performed during their set followed by Lil Wayne, who performed his set separately.
Some fans believe Wayne didn't perform because Turk wasn't involved with the Cash Money reunion. Turk went on his own rant about the situation after B.G. allegedly claimed Turk brought it on himself. Months later, it looks like the Hot Boys brethren worked things out to make a proper reunion happen. It wouldn't be the same without all the founding members no matter their circumstances.
Presale tickets for the show are available now.
