Rapper Lil Wayne is letting his music do the talking as he heads back to his hometown of New Orleans on the 10 year anniversary of Hurricane Katrina.
According to Billboard, the first annual Lil Weezyana Fest, which took place at the Bold Sphere Music at Champions Square in front of a sold-out crowd.
Weezy announced the festival back in July and kept details to a minimum in order to surprises fans in attendance, but did announce that he would be giving back to his city and victims of Hurricane Katrina by donating the proceeds from the festival to various charities through the Greater New Orleans Foundation and the The Carter Fund, which according to its website, supports after-school programs in Louisiana.
Fans still erupted into applause although the rapper took the stage nearly an hour after his 8 p.m. start time, when the famous interview of Weezy talking about Hurricane Katrina with reporter Katie Couric hit the big screen, and the rapper hit the stage with his song “Mr. Carter.”
Wayne’s set ended after nearly three hours of performances, and his send off was emotion filled. “Way before I even met Cash Money, this was a dream I had,” he said. “I had a dream to one day stand on this motherf-----n’ stage and be able to bring out all the New Orleans legends and still be the one standing at the end of the night. A lot of people asked me how do I feel about what’s going on, and I say… “Cue ‘No Worries.’”
