At Lil Wayne’s Lil WeezyAna festival, the legendary Hot Boys—Weezy, Juvenile, Turk, and B.G.—came together for a reunion after more than two decades. Initially fraught with tension, the event was a testament to both nostalgia and professionalism among the members.
Turk shared insights into the reunion, admitting the initial tension was not due to egos but simply because they hadn’t performed together in so long. He described walking into a room filled with warm welcomes, with Mannie Fresh and others organizing the event smoothly. Despite a few changes, the professional atmosphere made it feel like old times.
As soon as Lil Wayne entered the room, the group got down to business, exchanging greetings and diving into their set. Turk emphasized the tension wasn’t out of animosity but more a case of everyone being extra cautious and respectful—it’s been a long time since they were all in the same space.
By the time they hit “Back That Azz Up,” any initial tension had melted away. The nostalgia was palpable, and Turk mentioned that they felt the same energy the fans did. “And it was just—we back,” he remarked confidently.
The group performed several hits, including “Get Your Roll On,” “I Need a Hot Girl,” and “Neighborhood Superstar.” Birdman and Mannie Fresh joined them for numbers like “Project Bitch,” adding to the reunion’s mix of nostalgia and excitement.
This reunion, long hinted at across social media, was not without its previous challenges. Earlier this year, Turk and B.G. had a falling out at the Essence Festival. B.G. openly criticized Turk for not being part of the Cash Money reunion set. He stated that Turk’s past behavior was to blame. In response, Turk shot back, saying he wouldn’t participate in any reunion if such attitudes persisted.
Despite the rift, Juvenile weighed into the situation, expressing optimism for the reunion. He highlighted the need for the group to come together and talk it out to resolve lingering issues. His confident outlook seemed to pave the way for the successful reunion fans witnessed at Lil WeezyAna.
In the end, the Hot Boys reunion served as a reminder of the enduring power of shared history and music. It wasn’t just a performance; it was a rekindling of old bonds, marked by mutual respect and an appreciation for what their collective efforts mean to their fans.
