The Hot Boys, including Lil Wayne, have announced that they are extending their comeback a few more shows following a successful reunion late last year.
On Wednesday (January 22), a series of shows billed as “Lil Wayne with special guests Hot Boys” was announced. The three concerts will take place in late February in Tampa, Charlotte, and St. Louis.

Recent Hot Boys reunions have gone a few different ways. The most recent, in November at the LilWeezyana Fest in New Orleans, featured all four members — Turk, B.G., Juvenile and Wayne — onstage together as a full four piece to perform several numbers for the first time since 2000. They were joined by Mannie Fresh and Birdman as well.
They rapped “Get Your Roll On,” “I Need a Hot Girl” and “Neighborhood Superstar,” in addition to versions of their solo material.
Months prior, at the Essence Festival, there was a different setup: Wayne only came onstage once B.G. and Juvenile, joined by Mannie and Birdman, were finished performing. [Turk was missing, saying in the leadup to the show that the “business side of it” was getting in the way.]
At Essence Fest, Weezy performed for 20 minutes without his former bandmates, producer and label head — who then all returned, without Juvenile, for a final song after Wayne left the stage.

During Wayne’s set, the Cash Money logos onscreen were replaced by ones for his label Young Money, and he said he was “here on behalf of Young Money fucking Records.”
There was one more Hot Boys show, in Houston last month. According to a review in the Houston Press, that show had each member performing separately, though all four did come together at the end for a four-song mini set.
