Lil Wayne, Drake headlining Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam
Young Money, Chris Brown and more heading to the Meadowlands
Lil Wayne
Fresh off of a weekend headlining the New Jersey Bamboozle music festival, Lil Wayne has made it apparent he wants back into the state for another go.
The rapper will be joined by his Young Money crew, Birdman, Drake and others for Hot 97’s annual Summer Jam, to be held June 5 again at the Meadowlands Stadium.
Wiz Khalifa, Waka Flocka Flame, Fabolous, Dipset, Rick Ross, Chris Brown and Lloyd Banks are also officially on the marquee, in addition to the promise of “special guests.”
You know who’s part of the Young Money crew that’s not on this list? Nicki Minaj? And you know who has early June open up, despite her opening slot on Britney Spears’ tour? And played the fest only a year ago? Nicki Minaj. Just sayin’.
Lil Wayne just finished up a short tour and is preparing his newest “Tha Carter IV” for a June release.

May 4, 2011 at 6:39PM EST Reply to CommentLil Wayne keeps headlining show after show, he with his other Young Money crew members like Drake and Nicki Minja all had number 1 albums on the billboards. Lil Wayne is just showing why he is still the best rapper alive. With his new album coming out called "Tha Carter 4" will proly sell about 1.2 or more million in the first week. Lil Wayne I hope you or one of your other Young Money memebers comes across this, so maybe one day I could meet you and Young Money. But for Lil Wayne keep makin that Cash Money.
