Lil Wayne is getting ready to hit the road again this summer, and he won’t be doing it alone—2 Chainz and The Game are set to join him as special guests.
Last summer, Lil Wayne toured in support of his fourteenth studio album, Tha Carter VI, making stops across the U.S. and Canada, including cities like Toronto, Detroit, Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, and Atlanta. The run featured supporting acts such as Tyga, Belly Gang Kushington, NoCap, and the Hot Boys.
Now, the rap icon is gearing up for another run, this time celebrating the 20th anniversary of his Tha Carter series. According to his Instagram announcement, the tour kicks off on June 30 in Bangor, Maine. From there, he’ll make stops in cities like Chicago, Long Beach, Denver, and Fort Worth before closing things out in October with a final show in Knoxville, Tennessee.
The upcoming tour will give fans a chance to revisit the Grammy winner’s catalog—one that has recently sparked plenty of debate online.
The conversation gained traction after LaRussell appeared on the Truth Hurts podcast in February. During the episode, he shared that there was a point in his journey where he felt much of Lil Wayne’s music lacked depth.
“I had a moment in my journey where I had grew a disdain for Wayne,” he said.
“Just because I started listening to everything [and] I started maturing as a human, and I’m like, ‘Damn, this n***a wasn’t talking about nothing for a long time,'” he continued. “As someone who grew up in these communities and grew up with homies who I seen want to be Bloods ’cause they following Wayne, and want to be gangsters, and want to shoot. All the gun bars. I’ve seen the negative that he contributed to the community. And I have to look like, ‘Man, what are the songs where he really talked about something and gave?'”
