Lil Wayne Taps Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross for 'I Am Music II' Tour
He’s back! With the success of “6 Foot 7 Foot” and Tha Carter IV on the way, Lil Wayne is ready to return to the touring circuit with the announcement of his “I Am Music II” tour, a 29-date jaunt around the country with some famous friends coming along for the ride.
The North American trek sees Nicki Minaj, Rick Ross, Travis Barker, and Mixmaster Mike opening for the rap martian, with the kickoff scheduled for March 16 at Providence, Rhode Island’s Dunkin’ Donuts Center. Throughout the six-week tour, Weezy and the gang will make pit stops at Los Angeles’ Staples Center, Chicago’s United Center, and his native New Orleans Arena, before wrapping in Calgary, Canada at Scotiabank Saddledome on April 29.
“I Am Music II” is the sequel to the 2008/09 tour that took Wayne, Gym Class Heroes, Keri Hilson, T-Pain, Keyshia Cole, and Young Money everywhere from Miami to Hawaii over a four-month period. Check below to see when Weezy and crew are invading a city near you.
