The AVN Awards, which for those of you unaware are like the Oscars for the Porn industry, have typically called on hip-hop acts to perform at their annual award show over the past couple years, and it looks like they’re keeping it the same in 2018. After Tyga ripped that stage in 2013, and Wake Flocka & Flo Rida performed these past couple of years, next up in 2018 will be non-other than Lil Wayne. TMZ reports that Young Money CEO Lil Wayne will be taking the stage at next year’s AVN Awards.
The event will take place inside the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Las Vegas, and is scheduled to go down January, 29th. The Award show will be hosted by Porn stars Angela White and Harli Lotts.
AVN president Tony Rios made today’s announcement. “We are extremely pleased to have Lil Wayne performing at the 2018 AVN Awards,” Rios said. “Like many of the talent within the adult industry, he is also a successful entrepreneur, having opened his own company, Young Money Records. He’s an amazing addition to this year’s show and we look forward to having him.”
“This is one of those bucket-list moments for me,” Lil Wayne said. “I’m super stoked to be a part of the awards show this year.”
The performance will come in support of Weezy’s highly anticipated Dedication 6 mixtape, which is set to arrive Christmas Day.
