While some fans are disappointed that J. Cole won't make the last "Big As The What?" shows, they sure got one heck of a replacement.

When Drake and J. Cole announced their Big As The What? tour, some fans were disappointed that the latter wouldn't make it for some shows. However, those who can relate got a pretty killer replacement to make up for this loss for the trek's newly announced and final two stops in New Jersey. Moreover, in addition to Lil Durk, the one and only Lil Wayne will hit Newark's Prudential Center with his Young Money partner to close out the journey for two nights in a row on April 4 and 5. Many die-hards in Jersey reacted with much excitement, whereas others outside the area lamented missing out on this opportunity.

Furthermore, presale tickets go on sale tomorrow (Wednesday, March 6) on Drake's website for Cash App card members, whereas the general sale begins on Friday (March 8). However, it seems like Lil Wayne might pop out for other concerts with his desired (and purely hypothetical) Super Bowl halftime show co-performer, too. For example, the UBS Arena in Long Island posited via X that he will also perform at the March 28 and 29 tour stops there. Also, AP reporter Colby Guy suggested that Weezy will also guest on the Florida, and Penn State's Bryce Jordan Center stated that he'll also stop in their state for a Big As The What? show.

No matter how you slice it, this is all very exciting news for fans. It will be great to see Lil Wayne and Drake reunite, as the two continue to speak on and support each other in their careers. "He light-skinned," the New Orleans rapper recently said on Undisputed of why Drizzy gets so much hate. "That’s just American history. How I know is because I’m not light-skinned. I hated on all light-skinned dudes in school. So yeah, it’s American history, man."

Meanwhile, are you copping a ticket to try to see this "Miss Me" reunion in person? Would you be first in line for the Young Money reunion tour, if it ever happens?
