Lil Wayne, B.G., Juvenile & Turk to officially reunite as Hot Boys

As a long-time fan of the Hot Boys, I can hardly contain my excitement! It’s been over 15 years since we last saw them together and nearly two decades since their last project. The anticipation has been building ever since Juvenile hinted at a reunion and new LP back in May. While I was disappointed when the Essence Festival reunion didn’t happen, I understand that Lil Wayne had his reasons (probably related to the afterparty, after-party mix-up).


After much anticipation and uncertainty, it’s officially happening – I’m joining forces with my fellow Hot Boys once more! We’ll be rocking the stage together at Lil Wayne’s WeezyAna Festival on November 2, right here in New Orleans’ Smoothie King Center. Can’t wait to bring the heat back to our hometown!

On September 3, Tuesday, Wayne announced via Twitter that the Lil’ Weezyana Fest is returning! He mentioned a Hot Boyz Reunion happening in New Orleans on November 2 at the Smoothie King Center. The pre-sale for tickets begins at 12PM CT and can be accessed at http://LILWEEZYANAFEST.COM.

Apart from Wayne, the Hot Boys group also includes Turk, Juvenile, and B.G., and they haven’t performed live or released any new work since 2003’s “Let ‘Em Burn.” However, excitement among fans soared in May when Juvenile announced that they are currently working on a new album and plan to reunite for the Essence Festival, which took place in July.

However, the planned reunion was cancelled as Wayne decided to perform individually instead of joining Birdman, Mannie Fresh, Juvenile, and B.G. for their joint set. Later, he clarified his absence during an Instagram Live session with a somewhat indirect explanation.

“Funny story,” he began. “I got hit up by somebody, somebody text me. I guess they had been at the show too long or something and they said, ‘You wrong. You know you should have came out. You wrong, Wayne. You had all these f******g fans out here. You didn’t come. You know you should have’ … I’m like, ‘What you talking about? The afterparty or something?'”

The reunion has been confirmed, making it one of the most anticipated events in hip-hop for this year. Mannie Fresh will be there and is set to perform a DJ set. After Wayne announced the reunion, someone tweeted, “All we’re waiting for now is the album…?! That’s a great start!!”. Another person wrote, “I might cry at this concert.”
