Cash Money Tour Firms Up
Joining Nelly and the crew from Cash Money – Juvenile, Lil’ Wayne, Hot Boyz, B.G., and Big Tymers – are Lil’ Kim, Profyle, Joe, Lil’ Cease and Junior M.A.F.I.A., Trick Daddy, and Trina. The caravan has also picked up a sponsor in “Direct Effect,” MTV’s daily hip-hop show.
The itinerary and the lineup have changed during the last few weeks. The tour is now set to launch November 10 in Miami and the artist roster no longer includes LL Cool J and Field Mob.
The trek so far has 29 dates penciled in through December 22, though the phrase “subject to change” has been all too true regarding past Cash Money outings.
The last time the hardcore collective toured (with Ruff Ryders), several shows were canceled or cut short because of crowd problems including fighting and weapons-related violence. Five people where stabbed during a performance at Boston’s FleetCenter on April 3 and of the 10 dates remaining on the tour, half were canceled.
Performers on the ill-fated caravan included DMX, Juvenile, Lil’ Wayne, Drag-On, Eve, The Lox, Big Tymers, and B.G.
