Lil Wayne Brings The Carter VI Tour to Houston: A Nostalgic Night to Remember
From the moment I walked into The Cynthia Woods Mitchell Pavilion, I knew the night was going to be different. The air was thick with excitement. People were laughing, taking selfies, grabbing drinks just buzzing with the same thought I had: Lil Wayne was about to take over.
The show started with Tyga and NoCap. Both had solid sets, and the crowd was into it, but let’s be real everyone was waiting for Wayne. You could feel the shift when the lights finally went dark. The screen lit up with old Carter visuals, and then, just like that, he came out. The roar from the crowd was so loud, it felt like the whole pavilion shook.
This wasn’t just a tour stop. He was celebrating 20 years of Tha Carter classics, and you could feel the weight of that history in every track.
Wayne didn’t waste a second. He jumped straight into “Uproar,” and suddenly everyone was on their feet. The bass rattled through the seats, lights were flashing, and people were rapping every line like they’d been practicing for this exact moment. It was one of those times where the whole crowd felt like one big family.
Hearing “A Milli” live hit me hard. That beat dropped, and it was like time stopped for a second. Then he hit us with “6 Foot 7 Foot,” and somehow, the energy went even higher. When “Lollipop” came on, the vibe switched phones lit up, couples swayed, and the crowd turned into one big sing-along.
What I loved most was how much energy Wayne had. He’s been in the game for decades, but he performed like he was just getting started. His voice was strong, his flow was sharp, and every word carried weight. Between songs, he kept thanking Houston for the love and it didn’t feel like he was just saying it. It felt real. He showed his fans the utmost respect and thanked them for being the most loyal and loving supporters.
By the time he closed with “Mr. Carter,” I was completely drained but in the best way. My throat was shot from yelling, my feet hurt from standing, but I couldn’t stop smiling. Walking out, people were still chanting his name, like none of us were ready to let the night end.
It wasn’t just a concert. It was a reminder of why Wayne is a legend—and why live music hits different every single time.
