Lil Wayne Starts His Own Festival, Lil Weezyana, Feat. Hot Boys Reunion
This is Lil Wayne's year, we're just living in it, loving it, admiring it, jumping up and down about it. The latest power play came when he won the Fourth of July with the Free Weezy Album, straight auditory fireworks filled with the shocking, stunning, clever lines that made us fall in love with the dude way back when. (Also FWA's stacked with #sickbeats, like the philosopher Taylor Swift once said and then copyrighted.)
Now: Lil WeezyAna! A Lil Wayne-made, Lil Wayne-featuring festival set in Tunechi's hometown of New Orleans. It's going down August 28 at Bold Sphere Music at Champions Square. Manager Cortez Bryant posted the flier (pictured below) on Instagram, saying, "We coming home to give the city the greatest concert ever!"
Which will be true no matter what, but especially once Nicki Minaj and Drake—who's been favored by Wayne appearances at his own annual hometown event, Toronto's OVO Fest, several times—announce that they're coming. Wayne's new Tidal business partner Jay Z are confirmed. (Tyga can come, too, what the hell.)
