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!”
