Five-time GRAMMY-winning rap legend Lil Wayne made history with his first-ever headlining performance at New York City’s iconic Madison Square Garden, delivering an electrifying show that celebrated both his legacy and his future.
The performance by Lil Wayne marked a milestone moment as it coincided with the arrival of Tha Carter VI, the latest installment in Wayne’s storied album series. Fans in attendance were treated to the live debut of brand-new tracks like “King Carter,” “Welcome To Tha Carter,” “Sharks,” “Hip-Hop,” and “Banned from NO,” kicking off with a choral-led, anthemic opener that set the tone for the night.
Backed by high-energy visuals and impeccable delivery, Lil Wayne served up a career-spanning setlist that included fan favorites such as “Hustler Musik,” “John,” “A Milli,” “Drop The World,” and the explosive “6 Foot 7 Foot.” The show also featured a surprise appearance by LL Cool J, adding an extra dose of star power to an already unforgettable night.
Just ahead of the performance, Lil Wayne officially announced his Tha Carter VI Tour — a North American run dedicated to celebrating the album and his over 20-year reign with the Tha Carter series. The tour kicks off July 30 in Bristow, VA, and spans major cities including Toronto, Detroit, Los Angeles, and more before wrapping up October 2 in West Palm Beach, FL.
