Lil Wayne brought the Hot Young men back together at his Lil Weezyana Fest, highlighting himself, B.G., Adolescent, and Turk, at the Smoothie Lord Center in New Orleans, Louisiana on Saturday, November 2. As per Complicated, this noticeable the initial time in more than 15 years that the Cold hard cash legends made that big appearance together. Their exhibition, highlighting Birdman and Mannie New, came after a set from the Large Tymers and solo grandstands from each Hot Kid (except for Tunechi, who joined the visitors for two or three tracks), conveying hits like “Bling,” “I Want A Hot Young lady,” and “Neighborhood Whiz.” This excursion has been a wonderful source of both pain and joy, and fans loved each second en route.

At the Lil Weezyana Fest, Lil Wayne paused for a minute to share his contemplations on not being picked for the Super Bowl halftime show in his old neighborhood one year from now. “At that time, I made a guarantee to myself: I would perform on the Super Bowl stage, directly before my mother. I devoted myself totally to accomplishing that fantasy,” he imparted to the crowd. “It was taken from me.” Yet this amazing second here… they can’t remove that, man. Nobody can remove that from me.

Lil Wayne was respected by New Orleans in a manner that went past a Super Bowl halftime show; it was a sincere recognition loaded up with affection, appreciation, and a heritage that really rises above the occasion. The way in to the city was introduced to him by Chairman LaToya Cantrell. “We revere you,” she said. “You are a basic piece of this city, and your effect resounds through ages — thinking about your past accomplishments, your ongoing endeavors, and the future commitments you will make.” Moreover, that’s what expert P uncovered “Let The Beat Assemble” will have its own committed days in NOLA on February 6 and 7, and he will be one of the debut inductees in the forthcoming New Orleans Stroll Of Acclaim.

In the meantime, former Cash Money stars Juvenile and Mannie Fresh expressed their willingness to participate in Kendrick Lamar’s Super Bowl halftime show in New Orleans next year, should they receive the invitation. Perhaps Lil Wayne might offer a unique perspective given his friendship with Drake, but regardless, there’s a palpable buzz surrounding the Hot Boys and other New Orleans legends finally receiving the recognition they deserve.
