After a false start at this year’s Essence Fest, the long-rumored Hot Boys reunion is finally happening (hopefully).

On Tuesday (Sept. 3), Lil Wayne announced on his X account that the reunion will take place at his annual Lil’ WeezyAna Fest later this year. The festival will take place Saturday, Nov. 2, at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans and presale tickets are already available . The Hot Boys, Mannie Fresh and Rob49 are the only listed acts, with fans in attendance to expect some surprise guests.

The reunion rumors started heating up when Juvenile revealed in May that the former group consisting of himself, Lil Wayne, B.G. and Young Turk were going to perform at Essence Fest and were working on a new album. “Hot Boys is back together, man. What you talkin’ about put the Hot Boys back together? Show y’all ain’t keeping up with sh–,” he said on Instagram Live. “Turk gonna be with me tonight, I’m gonna be with B.G. next week. Me, Wayne, Turk and B.G. , all of us gonna be on stage in New Orleans with Mannie Fresh and Birdman. And we already done started working on a Hot Boys album. Any other f—ing questions? Keep on askin’ put the Hot Boys together. Have some f—in’ patience.”

However, fans were disappointed when the reunion at Essence Fest never happened. While Birdman , Mannie Fresh, Juvenile and B.G. hit the stage together, Wayne decided to perform his own solo set after they left the stage and Turk was nowhere to be found.

The Hot Boys haven’t dropped an album since 2003’s Let ‘Em Burn .
