The tour announcement comes just ahead of The Recording Academy’s Black Music Collective pre-Grammy event, where Lil Wayne will receive the prestigious Global Impact Award for his iconic personal and professional achievements in the industry. The award is well deserved as Wayne has reached many milestones. The Young Money Entertainment founder has cemented his legacy as “one of the best-selling artists of all time,” with sales in excess of 100 million records worldwide, 25 million albums and 90 million digital tracks sold in the United States alone. Just last year, Wayne earned his first Diamond certification from the RIAA with his hit “Lollipop” feat. Static Major. Wayne is also “the first artist to surpass Elvis Presley with the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100″ and has earned 183 entries – the third most of all time.

If we’re talking hits, Wayne has more than his fair share. Having accumulated five career-spanning No. 1 debuts beginning with 2008′s 8x platinum, 3x Grammy award-winning album “Tha Carter III” and its 6x platinum, 2011 successor “Tha Carter IV,” he released the latest version of the series – “Tha Carter V” in 2018. That album clinched No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and was “the second-largest streaming week for an album in history,” according to a press release.

Presale tickets will be available Tuesday, Jan. 31 at noon with general public tickets going on sale Friday, Feb. 3 at 10 a.m.
