- After calling out the Essence Festival for not showing love to hip-hop, Juvenile will now be on stage at Essence Festival.
- The campaign for Juvie started when he called out organizers for being overlooked to perform during the Hip-Hop 50 set of the show, which Jermaine Dupri is curating.
- "How is Essence" doing 50 years of hip-hop in New Orleans without me," asked Juvie in a tweet. After being snubbed, he even began promoting another festival with his partner Mannie Fresh.
- It seems things are all go now, and he will be on stage for the tribute to hip-hop along with Gucci Mane, Big Boi, Lil Jon, Ludacris, T.I., and more.
