Lil Wayne’s record-breaking streak of Hot 100 hits continues thanks to a recent feature on Tyler, the Creator’s new album Chromokopia.
With the debut of Tyler, the Creator’s song “Sticky” on the Billboard Hot 100 (that also features GloRilla and Sexyy Red, Lil Wayne’s now had appearances on the chart every year since 2004.
This gives him the longest active streak on Billboard’s biggest chart — beating out other longstanding artists like Chris Brown who has 20 years on it.
Lil Wayne’s appearance on “Sticky” gives him a total 187 hit songs on the chart.
Lil Wayne’s latest success comes just days after the rapper reunited with the Hot Boys on stage at his Lil WeezyAna Fest. At the rapper’s festival, where Big Tymers and Hot Boys Members Turk, B.G., and Juvenile hit the stage for solo sets, Lil Wayne joined the other members on stage to perform their biggest songs like “Neighborhood Superstar,” “I Need A Hot Girl,” and “Bling Bling.”
Following the performance, Lil Wayne also gave an emotional speech addressing that he won’t be performing at the Super Bowl — even though he wanted to do so after getting his family a private suite to watch the New Orleans Saints play at the big game at an early point in his career.
“That moment I said to myself I want to be onstage for the Super Bowl for my mom,” he said. “And I worked my ass off to get that fucking position and it was ripped away from me, but this motherfucking moment right here, they can’t take that.”
Bringing the festival back to a positive note, New Orleans’ mayor LaToya Cantrell presented LIl Wayne with a key to the city on stage. We love you," Cantrell said. "This is your city and you matter for generations for what you’ve done, what you’re doing, and what you will do.”
Master P also came on stage to announce that Feb. 6 and 7 will be Lil Wayne days in the city — also that he would also be one of the first honors for New Orleans’ planned Walk of Fame.
