Lil Wayne is a legend in the rap game… but he’s also legendary for being terrible live and usually showing up late and leaving early. Buy tickets at your own risk.

Okayyyyy.
More diverse genres at the grandstand is a good thing. There’s been a tendency to over represent country in my opinion. But maybe some more contemporary hip hop would be good.

Keith Urban, Motely Crue, Lil Wayne, Jonas brothers, The Smashing Pumpkins, Miranda Lambert etc. that’s a strong lineup that seems like will attract fans of multiple different genres.

Treefiddy is spot on. Lil Wayne has a reputation for showing up late and walking out early–he’s somewhat the equivalent of Warren Zevon when it comes to performing live. Hopefully, the state took this into account when signing the deal and won’t have to pay until all provisions are satisfied.

I am loving the broad lineup this year. I love country as much as the next person, but glad to have more representation across genres.

Who’s we? Do you have multiple personalities?
Also, President Trump pardoned him. “We” thought you woulda liked that https://www.rollingstone.com/music/music-news/donald-trump-lil-wayne-kodak-black-1116097/
A simple Google search woulda found that, but then you couldn’t troll here.

One of my friend’s Sons is a backup musician for Lil’ Wayne…for the tangential connection.

If only the we(s) actually knew what they thought they knew.

holdingback and Barabbas showing their ignorance, confusing Lil Jon and Lil Wayne/Weezy F.

Man, remember at the hysteria over confederate railroad and their use of the rebel flag? So glad they were cancelled over imagery. Lil Wayne? Come on over! Littered with “no homo” lyrics and misogyny. This is the first of many, many Google hits on the performer.

The Gov has set precedent that we proudly ignore now.
This is not a kids show.
