Lil Wayne Breaks Silence After Skipping Cash Money Reunion Show

by

Lil Wayne is the biggest star to come out of Cash Money bar none. Juvenile has classics, and Birdman rode coattails, but Weezy is the main attraction when it comes to the label’s legacy. His absence at the recent Cash Money reunion was deafeningly loud, as a result. The thing that made it worse is that Wayne was already at the Essence Festival, where the reunion took place. He simply refused to celebrated 30 years of Cash Money onstage. Instead, he waited and performed a solo set after the rest of his former label wrapped up their time.

Lil Wayne hopped on Instagram Live on July 7th to give his side of the story. Well, sort of. Instead of issuing an apology, or offering an excuse as to why he didn’t show up, he shared an anecdote. “Funny story,” the rapper explained. “I got hit up by somebody, somebody text me. I guess they had been at the show too long or something and they said, ‘You wrong. You know you should have came out. You’re wrong, Wayne. You had all these f*cking fans out here… didn’t come. You know you should have.’”

Lil Wayne Isn’t Involved With The Hot Boys Album

Weezy didn’t shut down the idea that he should have attended, but he didn’t take it seriously, either. He instead took a playful tone with the person who messaged him. “I’m like, ‘What you talking about?,” the rapper recalled while smiling. “The afterparty or something?’” Lil Wayne clearly did not have an interest in revisiting the past, but that doesn’t mean he has ill will towards the rest of the label. He didn’t mention Juvenile, Mannie Fresh, or B.G. by name but he did a general shout out to “all the artists that performed” at the Essence Festival.

Lil Wayne has always pleaded ignorance with regards to the rumored Hot Boys album. Hot Boys was the Cash Money group consisting of Lil Wayne, Juvenile, B.G. and Turk, and rumors have swirled for a few months that a comeback project is in the works. Let Weezy tell it, though, and he has no clue what’s happening with it. During a June appearance on the Not Just Football podcast, the rapper claimed he wasn’t involved at all. “Sh*t, you just told me,” he quipped. It’s a difficult time to be a Cash Money fan.

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Tease Reunion For 30th Anniversary

by

The pride and joy of Cleveland hip-hop is back. Bone Thugs-n-Harmony, the iconic 1990s group, is celebrating three decades of music. While the specific circumstances under which the celebration will happen is still unclear, Lazyie Bown took to Instagram on May 10 to assure fans that something is going to happen. This is a huge deal, considering the five-man group haven’t put out new music since 2017 or toured since 2022. Apparently, all it took was an anniversary to bring them back together.

Layzie Bone posted a video on his Instagram to confirm that June 23 is a day that Bone Thugs-n-Harmony fans need to clear on their calendars. “We celebrating 30 years now,” he explained. “June 23, 1994, is the day that ‘Thuggish Ruggish Bone’ came out. The celebration of 30 years.” Layzie went on the mention some of the artists that the group has worked with over the years, it’s basically a who’s who of 90s icons. “Now you know you got your Bone and Biggies,” he added. “You got your 2Pacs and your Mariah Careys. And JDs, and Bow Wow. We done mixed and mingled with a lot of people.”

Bone Thugs-n-Harmony Haven’t Toured Since 2022

Then, the bombshell. “Now, on the 30th year anniversary,” the Bone Thugs-n-Harmony rapper stated. “We’re gonna do it again.” It’s about as exciting as an announcement can be while still being vague. Layzie doesn’t clarify whether the group is getting back together to record a new song, new album, or perform a show together. It’s worth noting that the last time Bone Thugs were doing shows, they were pitching it as their “farewell tour.” The group has been through turmoil and inner-conflict over the years, with members coming and going.

Part of the appeal of the so-called “farewell tour” was that all five members agreed to come back and dazzle fans with their flows. Layzie, Krayzie, Wish, Flesh and Bizzy Bone set their differences aside to go out on a high note. It’ll be interesting to see whether this 30th anniversary celebration will follow suit, or if it will see key members sitting out.
