Although fans were excited to see the smooth reunion of the Hot Boys on stage at Lil Wayne’s Lil WeezyAna Fest, Turk has revealed that it was actually pretty tense.
The rapper spoke about the show in an interview with B High ATL recently, explaining what made the set difficult — and it wasn’t because of any pre existing issues that the members had with each other.
“When I walked in, it was a warm welcome and [Mannie] Fresh and them was getting the DJs and getting the list together,” he said. “We’d had the list prior to it but of course it changed up a little bit. But everything went smooth because we so professional. It’s like man, we been here before.”
Turk continued on, explaining what happened when they started practicing. “Then when Wayne came in the room, we got straight to it. Came in, dapped everybody, hugs and it just was straight to the business,” Turk explained. “We sung the songs and it was tense. It was tense. I gotta give y’all the real rundown and not on no stuck up shit, but it was just a ‘man we ain’t do this shit in a long time’ type tense.”
“Everybody just being extra careful, being respectful to each other and shit because like I said, we haven’t all been in the room with each other,” Turk added. “But by the time it got to ‘Back That Azz Up,’ it was the nostalgia and we felt what the fans felt! And it was just – we back.”
The reunion of the Hot Boys was one of the highlights of Lil Wayne’s yearly festival. The group, who hadn’t been onstage together in more than 15 years, came together to perform songs like “Neighborhood Superstar,” “I Need A Hot Girl,” and “Bling Bling.”
Lil Wayne also received the key to the city at the festival, soon after explaining his disappointment that he wouldn’t be performing at the Super Bowl. Mayor LaToya Cantrell presented him with the key, telling him, “We love you. This is your city and you matter for generations for what you’ve done, what you’re doing, and what you will do.”
