Lil Wayne, Hip-Hops best-selling artist of 2008, is set to celebrate his 26th birthday with a landmark concert in the Bahamas.

The September 26 “Poppin Bottles show will be co-headlined by international reggae legend Buju Banton and will feature a host of Bahamian talent, such as Daddy Whites, Golden Child, and Bobo Ken.

The event is the brainchild of Lisa “Red Tootle of Red City Entertainment, who promises to showcase a melting pot of the best in Hip-Hop, dancehall, and reggae talent in the U.S. and the Caribbean.

“This concert is quite a fusion. You have one of the leading phenomena of reggae in Buju Banton, who is a legend in his own right, and then youre taking the number one Hip-Hop artist in the world right now and youre putting them on the same stage, Tootle told the Nassau Guardian. “I think that in itself puts our concert above all others, and I say that with authority because Ive been in and out of the Bahamas for the past 8 to 10 years and Ive been to many, many concerts. The concert is planned to be an all night celebration, with Wayne not taking the stage until well past midnight. “Wayne is expected to be on stage by 1 or 2A M and from what I understand Buju is just so excited about being a part of this show that he is expected to come out with a crazy performance, Tootle explained. “So it will be quite a night.

Waynes pre-party will be held September 25 at Club Erupt on Elizabeth Avenue. The “Poppin Bottles concert starts Friday September 26 at 10 PM, located at the Bristol Wines and Spirits Grounds.

A separate “birthday bash for the New Orleans superstar is set for September 27 at the Marley Resort in Cable Beach.
