Juvenile is making it clear that his loyalty to his longtime Hot Boys groupmate Turk hasn’t wavered — even in the face of rising tensions that led to Turk’s abrupt removal from the Cash Money Records 30th anniversary tour.
TMZ Hip Hop recently caught up with the New Orleans rap legend, who revealed he was blindsided by the decision to boot Turk from the tour. According to Juvenile, the call was made by upper management and left him — and fans — confused and disappointed. The fallout reportedly stemmed from an escalating beef between Turk and fellow Hot Boys member B.G., who didn’t hold back after the group’s reunion performance last year. With Lil Weezyana Fest set to return to New Orleans on September 22 — and all four Hot Boys, including the Big Tymers, currently announced to hit the stage — many are watching to see if fences can be mended in time for a full-circle reunion.
In the meantime, Juvie remains focused on the future. He’s prepping the release of his new studio album The Boiling Point, a title that may feel all too fitting given the current state of affairs within the Hot Boys camp. Still, the 400 Degreez icon seems hopeful that cooler heads will eventually prevail.
While the past few months have highlighted rifts that time has yet to heal, Juvenile’s stance underscores a deeper desire — one rooted in decades of brotherhood and shared history — to see the Hot Boys move forward together rather than fall apart.
