Lil Wayne has poured cold water on the idea of a Hot Boys reunion album, claiming he knows nothing about the potential project.
Rumors of a Hot Boys reunion have swirled since B.G. was released from jail late last year, with the various members appearing on board. But Weezy says he is out of the loop when it comes to a new album.

Speaking on NFL star Cam Heywood’s Not Just Football podcast, the New Orleans rap legend was asked about the much-rumored reunion, to which he replied with surprise: “Shit, you just told me!”
He later pushed back against Juvenile‘s claims that the a Hot Boys album being worked on: “That’s what he [said]? I ain’t been to the kitchen yet. I would not lie to you, I have not been in that kitchen yet.
“I have no problem with going to that kitchen, but I ain’t smell it, it ain’t come through the window yet. I ain’t smell the food […] They ain’t told me nothing yet.”
Juvenile previously said a reunion album was in the works, commenting on Instagram Live: “Hot Boys is back together, man. Turk gonna be with me tonight, I’m gonna be with B.G. next week. Me, Wayne, Turk and B.G., all of us gonna be on stage in New Orleans with Mannie Fresh and Birdman. And we already started working on the Hot Boys album.”
While Lil Wayne is apparently unaware of any album plan, he seems more on board with the idea of a Hot Boys reunion tour.

The “A Milli” hitmaker previously said the only hold-up was B.G.’s legal problems since his release from prison, which may restrict his movement on the road.
“We’ve spoken about it a few times but, you know, they have situations. Like B.G. just coming home so he gotta figure out: can he tour? Can he travel? And things like that,” he said on YG‘s 4Hunnid podcast.
He added: “Juvie ready and Turk ready, but really we gotta see if Geezy can move around.”
When asked if that’s the “only piece” of the puzzle left to solve, Wayne replied: “Yeah.”

“‘Cause everybody got their own thing. Everybody got their own record label, their own situation. Nobody ain’t tied down to nothing. So when we asked everybody, they were like, ‘Yeah, we can jump on whenever.’ We just gotta get Geezy right.”
