Lil Wayne is wasting no time in getting some show money to line his pockets while he completes work on his highly anticipated, 'Tha Carter IV' album.
In what can only be considered a shrewd business move, Weezy is capitalizing on his fans hunger to see him perform live for the 1st time since since his release from prison. After his new album drops, he will more than likely hit the road again, to perform at some of the very same venues just months apart.
Joining Wayne on the 25-city “I Am Music II” tour will be Blink 182 drummer Travis Barker, DJ Mixmaster Mike, Nicki Minaj and Rick ross.
This tour is a sequel to his 2008-2009 “I Am Music” tour which pulled in $42 million dollars and 800,000 fans according to Billboard.
As promised in his recent interview with Rolling Stone, there is no New York City date. The Young Money rapper has promised to never go back there after catching the gun case that landed him in Rikers.
Tickets for the tour go on sale the weekend of February 4, through Live Nation.
