Nearly three months after being released from prison, Lil Wayne today (Jan. 24) announced an I Am Music II spring tour, a 24-date trek across North America that kicks off Mar. 18 in Buffalo, N.Y., and wraps May 1 in East Rutherford, N.J., with a headlining set at Bamboozle.
Weezy will be joined on the arena tour by Young Money protege Nicki Minaj, Miami rapper Rick Ross, and blink-182 drummer Travis Barker, who will perform a DJ/drummer set with Mixmaster Mike.
The I Am Music II tour is a sequel to Lil Wayne's 2008-2009 I Am Music tour, which grossed approximately $42 million and drew nearly 804,000 fans. The rapper has played a handful of shows since his Nov. 4 prison release, including an appearance on "Saturday Night Live" alongside Eminem on Dec. 18.
According to a press release for the tour, "Tha Carter IV," Lil Wayne's highly anticipated sequel to 2008's "Tha Carter III," is still scheduled for a spring release. "6 Foot 7 Foot," the first single from the album, currently sits at No. 11 on the Hot 100.
