Lil Wayne’s annual festival took place at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans, LA on Saturday (November 2).

The group appeared as a full four piece for the first time since 2000, and performed “Get Your Roll On,” “I Need a Hot Girl” and “Neighborhood Superstar,” in addition to versions of their solo material.

During the show, Cash Money founder Birdman and legendary producer Mannie Fresh joined for the performance of “I Need a Hot Girl,” which you can check out below.

Though Weezy and his team took over the New Orleans arena for the festival, the rap superstar won’t be performing at the city’s biggest upcoming event, Super Bowl LIX.

Kendrick Lamar was recently announced as the musical act for Super Bowl LIX, but the decision proved to be polarizing, with even Wayne himself expressing disappointment over it.

LL Cool J even offered Wayne some words of wisdom after he was left devastated by not being selected for the show.

Sitting down for an interview with Fat Joe for his new talk show on STARZ, LL attempted to uplift Weezy’s spirits while gently reminding him that this is Kendrick’s moment.

“Lil Wayne is one of the most talented dudes on the planet, period. He’s one of our great artists, he’s an unbelievable writer,” he said. “He’ll have his day — let Kendrick get that. Let’s keep it moving. I never did the Super Bowl!”

While the Chicago rapper has announced public listening events, titled Writings on the Wall, across the U.S., Juvie got his own special preview of the highly-anticipated project in his hometown of New Orleans.

The Cash Money legend was impressed by both the music itself and the audio-visual experience of the listening event, calling them “amazing.”

In a video posted on Chance’s Instagram, he gushed: “This shit is one of the greatest experiences. First of all, the music is so touching, right? But this technology is so great. You can feel that shit in your body.

“Then you’re seeing the words and you got the headphones [on] listening to the music. It’s like a sing-a-long song, right? When you get to the next hook, you should know the words. This shit is amazing.”

Another clip shows Juvenile listening to Star Line with glow-in-the-dark headphones on and saying: “Wow… Chance, this is fucking amazing” while applauding.

Chano added in the caption:”Had to give my guy @juviethegreat a lil private listening between the NOLA #writingsonthewall sessions.

“I wanna thank the good folks over there at @studio_be_ especially @bmike2c for collaborating in such a meaningful way and bringing Juvie and @pjmorton thru. Cant wait for the next one y’all.”

What Has B.G. Been Doing Since Being Released From Prison?

On Tuesday (Sept. 5), XXL confirmed that B.G. had been released from prison after being incarcerated for almost a decade. In 2012, Baby Gangsta, popularly known as B.G., was sentenced to 14 years in federal prison for gun possession and witness tampering. Once B.G. became a free man, Birdman hopped on Instagram Live and recorded himself greeting B.G. at what seems to be an airport, which can be seen below. Additionally, Birdman gifted the New Orleans rapper with an icy pendant.

With his newfound freedom, B.G. has also gotten a chance to catch up with Maino, The Game, Wack 100 and Bun B on FaceTime. The footage can be seen below.

On Sept. 5, Bun B went on Instagram and posted a picture of himself on FaceTime with B.G. and Birdman. Underneath the post, the legendary rapper stated that a Hot Boy Reunion was in the works.

“The call we been waiting for!” Bun B typed in the caption of the post below. “@birdman hit me up to show me @new_bghollyhood is a free man! This put a smile on my face! God is great! Hot Boys reunion coming soon!”

Bun B, B.G. and other members from Hot Boys collaborated on the 1997 track, “I’m Com’n.”

B.G. has also been working on new music. On Wednesday (Sept. 6), the rapper went on Instagram and uploaded a snippet of his upcoming single. In the caption for the post, B.G. hinted at dropping a new record soon.

“The rebirth of the #ComeBackKid #RealN***a Season #OTW,” B.G. typed in the caption of the post below. “The love and support is overwhelming [praying hands emoji].
Thank you for holding a real n***a down. #IAppreciateYOU [100 emoji]. I will not disappoint you #WorthTheWait [music note emoji]. #BGFREE #LivingLegend.”

Additionally, he’s been sharing dozens of messages from fans on Instagram and reposting them on his Instagram stories.
