Lil Wayne to Headline MSG for the First Time

Lil Wayne's June Madison Square Garden concert will be his first headlining show at the New York institution.

The May Rolling Stone cover boy announced his first-ever headlining show at Madison Square Garden on Friday, June 6, the same day the sixth entry in his Carter series will be released. In March 2010, he made a surprise appearance at a Jay-Z and Jeezy concert, performing just a day before he turned himself in to Rikers Island to do an eight-month sentence for gun possession. He also told MTV News in 2011, “Flat out, I don’t like New York.” But he’s been back multiple times since then, most recently to perform at the SNL 50 spectacular (and conclude a lengthy interview process for his May cover story).
