Nicki Minaj will be promoting her mix tape, Beam Me Up Scotty and says she is looking forward to getting back on the road with her Young Money family. Drake was expected to give a sneak peek of a few of his tracks from his anticipated debut album, Thank Me Later, but that may be put on hold due to a recent knee injury. He hopes that the intensive acupuncture treatments he has been getting and with the help of a knee brace, he may be able to get on stage at least a few times during the tour. Drake felt that even if he travels with the tour, he can at least show that he is there for the rest of them for support. He was to perform a 30 minute set of his own as part of the show but he feels he may have to cut his stage time.
According to reports from the opening night in Scranton the tour kicked off with a bang leaving the fans in the PA town ready for and wanting more. Jeremih and Pleasure P started off the show with their sexy sultry tunes followed up by Soulja Boy with loads of energy setting the mood for the remainder of the night. The ladies in the crowd raised their voices to sing along when Kiss Me through the Phone began to play, but the ultimate show stopper for Soulja Boy was during Turn My Swag On , when he began tossing $100 bills to the fans in the audience!
Young Jeezy kept up the crowds’ enthusiasm and his street team handed out items like towels and stickers to promote his upcoming LP. Then it was time for the headliner, Lil Wayne to come alive on stage, and that he did. The fans stood on seats and armrests of their chairs to have the best view possible when Lil Wayne appeared on stage. A large compliment of singers performed that evening and the entire family was onstage for the final song, My Girl with the audience singing along.
This sounds like a concert that fans will not want to miss; so be sure to check you favorite ticket distributor and get the dates that they will be in the city near you. The show promises not to disappoint and will leave you wanting more and more and more!
