The sold-out crowd packed the arena from wall to wall as fans came ready to relive the soundtrack of an era that helped shape hip hop and R&B.
From the moment Bow Wow hit the stage, the energy inside the building was electric. Fans screamed every lyric as he ran through a catalog of timeless records that instantly took the audience back to the golden era of BET’s 106 & Park and the Scream Tour days. Bow Wow controlled the stage effortlessly, proving once again why he remains one of the most recognizable entertainers of his generation.
B2K brought the nostalgia to another level as the group reunited on stage performing fan favorites with synchronized choreography and emotional crowd interactions.

Waka Flocka Flame delivered one of the most explosive sets of the night, turning the arena into a full party from beginning to end. Amerie added smooth R&B vibes to the lineup, giving fans a balance of high-energy anthems and nostalgic slow jams.

After two decades, one of the most iconic R&B groups, B2K, who are celebrating their 25th
anniversary, officially reunite for the “Boys 4 Life” Tour. The tour also marks more than 20 years since

cultural milestone that helped define a generation. Powered by Black Promoters Collective (BPC), the
28-city tour kicks off Thursday, February 12, in Columbia, SC, includes a stop at the award-winning
State Farm Arena in Atlanta on Friday, February 13 and wraps Sunday, April 19, in Hampton, VA.

The buzz ignited earlier this year when B2K surprised fans with an explosive reunion moment at the 2025
BET Awards, instantly setting social media ablaze. The viral clip captured Omarion, Raz-B, J-Boog, and
Lil Fizz back on stage together, reminding the world why their chemistry, music, and movement defined
an era. Their return is a moment that will be etched in history.
“There was a certain level of authenticity that we all had. So in a way, we’re completing it,” Omarion
teases in a now-viral Instagram clip, fueling excitement for what fans can expect from this long-
awaited reunion.
With four Billboard Top 10 singles, a No. 1 album on the Billboard 200, and sold-out tours worldwide,
B2K remains one of the most influential R&B groups. Known for hits like “Bump, Bump, Bump,” “Gots Ta
Be,” “Uh Huh,” and “Why I Love You,” the group not only dominated the charts but also redefined
performance, fashion, and fan culture for a generation of young music lovers, earning BET Awards,
Billboard nominations, and millions of devoted fans worldwide. The “Boys 4 Life” title pays homage to
that brotherhood and the timeless influence of Black music on global pop culture.
Co-headling is multi-platinum recording artist, actor, and entrepreneur Bow Wow, celebrating his 25th
anniversary as one of hip-hop’s longest-standing stars. With over 10 million albums sold, seven No. 1
hits, and major film credits from Like Mike to Lottery Ticket, Bow Wow helped redefine youth stardom
in hip-hop and opened doors for an entire generation of young male artists. His crossover
anthems—“Like You,” “Let Me Hold You,” and “Shortie Like Mine”—cemented his place as a cultural
force, and earlier this year at the Breezy Bowl, Chris Brown brought him onstage and credited him with
starting the modern era of popular music, a powerful acknowledgment of his lasting influence. Fresh
off co-headlining BPC’s successful Millennium Tour 2025, Bow Wow’s impact and star power remain
unmatched.
“With my 25-year anniversary in the music industry, I’m excited to finally bring this tour to life and
give the fans what they’ve been waiting for” states Bow Wow.

recording and performing at full scale.
