Lil Wayne held the Lil Weezyana Fest yesterday (August 29) in his hometown of New Orleans with proceeds going to Tha Carter Fund. He performed “A Milli,” “Steady Mobbin’,” “Georgia Bush,” “Go DJ” and other tracks from his 10-plus-year solo career, Lil Wayne HQ reports.
There was a Hot Boys reunion, as promised. Wayne brought out Juvenile, Turk and Mannie Fresh to perform “Bling Bling,” “I Need a Hot Girl” and Juvenile’s “Back That Azz Up.” B.G.’s mother was in attendance to represent her son who is currently serving a 14 year prison sentence.
Weezy also held a Sqad Up reunion and brought out Gudda Gudda, Dizzy, Kidd Kidd and Fee Banks to perform a few songs.
In addition, Wayne brought out Master P, August Alsina and Drake, among other guests. The Toronto rapper performed “Back to Back,” “HYFR” and “Know Yourself.”
The event was live-streamed on TIDAL except for Drake’s set because of his contract with Apple. PageSix reports that Apple threatened a $20 million lawsuit if the rival streaming service aired Drake’s performance.
The Times-Picayune says the two-hour event concluded in a fireworks show and brass bands signature to the area.

Weezy brought Master P out and left Birdman out in the dark…. Birdie is going to hire a Drive-By for your Tour Bus Mr. Carter
dididnt he already try dat?
major lesson for Meek..fans dont give a fuck when the music is good..they gonna sing that shit loud anyway.
On the contrary bud*major lesson for hip hop fans in general*it’s fukn dead*their’s rules to this shit*rap is the one unique genre where an artist was obligated to write themselves*if it came out that you didn’t then the wrath was felt*game over*people just wanna shake ass & sing along to 3rd grade rhymes* integrity is gone*long live the 80s & 90s*
diddy, dre, snoop and countless other, even french montana dont write their own raps and it wasnt no game over or wrath felt
Really Gorilla Monsoon. …Eazy E didn’t “feel the wrath” and he didn’t write his own shit so stop it. Who really knows who writes their own shit and who does not. Not saying i don’t care, but I sure as fuck won’t be going on any witch hunts to find any of them.
Where was Nicki at? Would have been the ultimate ether if she was on stage during Back to Back.
FREE B.G.
FREE MY NIGGA B.G YA SON TY HOLDING IT DOWN FOR U IT’S A UPT HOOD THING MY NIG.
Birdman’s absence and Master P’s presence is a watershed moment for New Orleans hip hop as well as the prophetical fall of the Cash Money empire. I’m sensing that irreparable damage has been done at this point.
Man, I wanted to see Drizzaveli Da 6 God’s performance. Guarantee his set was the best out of everyone there. #DrakeIsLoveDrakeIsLife
Mmmm OVokid don’t ride that dick to hard now…
