Lil Wayne will reunite with the Hot Boys in 2025 for his Lil Weezyana Tour, coming to Charlotte next month (February 23) to Spectrum Center. The reunion comes off Lil Wayne’s seventh annual Lil Weezyana Fest that took place at the Smoothie King Center in Louisiana on November 2, featuring performances by the Hot Boys (Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G. and Turk), along with Mannie Fresh and Rob49.
The Hot Boys, a New Orleans rap group formed in the ’90s under Cash Money Records, rose to prominence with their debut project, Get It How U Live!, in 1997. They followed it with their platinum-selling sophomore album, Guerrilla Warfare, in 1999, which featured the hits “I Need a Hot Girl” and “We on Fire.”
The Hot Boys disbanded in the early 2000s, but their influence on Southern hip-hop remains undeniable, credited with popularizing the “bling-bling” era of rap and shaping the sound of modern hip-hop with their innovative beats by producer Manny Fresh.
Juvenile last performed in Charlotte with his live band in September and Lil Wayne brought his Welcome to Tha Carter Tour to the Queen City for a memorable 4/20 performance in 2023.
Presale will start on Wednesday, January 22 at 12 p.m. (code: code: HOTBOYS) with tickets going on sale to the general public on Friday, January 24 at 10 a.m.
