The Young Money Reunion show, which was recently postponed due to Drake’s positive COVID test, featured performances from Lil Wayne alongside his uber-successful proteges, Drake and Nicki Minaj. The three of them worked through some of their biggest collaborations while on stage, including “The Motto”, “Moment 4 Life” and “HYFR”.
Lil Wayne has been hyping up the release of this new album since 2020. In that year, he also released new music and major collaborations with artists like 2 Chainz, Chance the Rapper and Ludacris.
