Drake Recruits Lil Wayne & Lil Durk for Pair of New Jersey Shows to Close Out Big as the What? Tour
Young Angel and Young Lion are set to reunite at several shows to close out the trek.
Lil Wayne and Drake perform at Lil Weezyana Festival at Champions Square on Aug. 28, 2015 in New Orleans, Louisiana.
The Young Money militia is invading New Jersey in April. Live Nation announced on Tuesday (March 5) that Drake has added a pair of dates to his Big as the What? Tour, where he’ll be reuniting with Lil Wayne for two shows at Newark’s Prudential Center.
In addition to Lil Durk, Drake has recruited Weezy for the two shows slated for April 5 and April 6. Pre-sale tickets will be available on Drake’s website starting on Wednesday (March 6) to Cash App card members, while the general public gets their chance on Friday (March 8).
The added shows will serve as the new closers for the Big as the What? Tour leg, but won’t feature J. Cole.
For those in the tri-state area, Drake already has a couple of other shows locked in at the UBS Arena on Long Island, N.Y., on March 28 and March 29. Per the venue’s X account, Lil Wayne has been added to the bill for those concerts as well.
Those may not be the only shows Weezy will be coming to on the trek. Per Associated Press reporter Colby Guy, Wayne will be joining Drake for the pair of Florida shows at Amerant Bank Arena. Penn State’s official Bryce Jordan Center account also revealed on X that the New Orleans rapper will be at the Big as the What? Tour stop on campus on March 31.
Drake’s been on the road since the first leg of the It’s All A Blur Tour kicked off last year with 21 Savage. Plenty of fans have reaped the benefits of Drake’s deep pockets and big heart, as he recently offered to pay off the six-figure mortgage for a fan left by their late mother.
