Last summer, Lil Wayne went on tour to promote his fourteenth studio album, Tha Carter VI. During the run, he performed in numerous cities across both the United States and Canada, making stops in places such as Toronto, Detroit, Seattle, Los Angeles, Dallas, Atlanta, and others. Artists including Tyga, Belly Gang Kushington, NoCap, and Hot Boys joined the tour as opening performers.

At this point, the rap icon is getting ready to return to the stage once again to celebrate the 20 year milestone of his Tha Carter series. For this upcoming run, he will be accompanied by guest performers 2 Chainz and The Game. According to the announcement shared on Instagram, the tour will begin on June 30 in Bangor, Maine. From there he is expected to visit cities like Chicago, Long Beach, Denver, and Fort Worth before finishing the tour in October with a final performance in Knoxville, Tennessee.

The upcoming shows will also give fans a chance to revisit Lil Wayne’s catalog, which recently became a hot topic of discussion online.

LaRussell Lil Wayne Controversy

The conversation began after LaRussell appeared on the Truth Hurts podcast in February. During the interview, he shared that there was a time when he started questioning the depth of Lil Wayne’s music.

"I had a moment in my journey where I had grew a disdain for Wayne," he said.

"Just because I started listening to everything [and] I started maturing as a human, and I'm like, 'Damn, this n***a wasn't talking about nothing for a long time,'" he continued. "As someone who grew up in these communities and grew up with homies who I seen want to be Bloods 'cause they following Wayne, and want to be gangsters, and want to shoot. All the gun bars. I've seen the negative that he contributed to the community. And I have to look like, 'Man, what are the songs where he really talked about something and gave?'"

Shakira Reveals When And Where Her Spain Residency Will Take Place

Shakira is set to bring her record breaking global tour to Madrid this fall with a unique concept. The Colombian pop icon will present a three night residency inside the Shakira Stadium, a custom built 4.2 acre space that will combine film, food, literature and curated exhibitions personally selected by the singer under the theme Es Latina.

The shows are scheduled for September 25 through September 27 at the Iberdrola Music venue located in the Villaverde area south of Madrid, according to an announcement made by Live Nation on Friday March 20. The temporary venue is designed to create a fully immersive environment, similar to recent European concert concepts such as Adele’s Munich residency in 2024, which focused on enhancing both production quality and fan experience.

This news arrives shortly after Shakira confirmed she would be bringing her Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour to Spain with a specially designed production. “I’m going to go all out because Live Nation is preparing a stadium for these concerts. It will be called Estadio Shakira,” the singer said in a preview clip from her interview on RTVE’s Al Cielo Con Ella released March 15. “It’s going to be something out of this world, a production that I don’t think has been seen before in Spain.”

The announcement also comes following her recent Rock & Roll Hall of Fame nomination.

Since launching on February 11, 2025, Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran World Tour has continued through this year and has already made history. According to Billboard Boxscore, the tour became the highest grossing tour ever by a Hispanic artist, earning 421.6 million dollars and selling 3.3 million tickets across 86 concerts.

That success was also reflected in Mexico City, where Shakira set new attendance records at GNP Seguros Stadium with 13 sold out concerts that together sold more than 800,000 tickets. She later closed her time in Mexico with a massive free concert at the Zócalo on March 1 that attracted 400,000 attendees. Tickets for the Madrid residency will become available starting March 27.

Before heading to Spain, Shakira is also scheduled to perform on May 2 at another globally recognized venue, Copacabana Beach in Brazil. Event organizers are expecting a crowd of at least one million people, similar to the massive audiences that gathered for Madonna in 2024 and Lady Gaga in 2025.
