Overview

  • The backstage meet-and-greet took place August 24 at the Credit Union 1 Amphitheatre in Tinley Park, Illinois after Lil Wayne’s concert.
  • Wayne spent time with Sade Stephens and her mother, Andrea Carson, posed for photos, and removed his cross pendant and chain to give to Sade.
  • TMZ published photos documenting the encounter, with additional coverage from LilWayneHQ and HotNewHipHop.
  • Stephens has remained a devoted fan since suffering cardiac arrest in 2008, a crisis that halted her plans to see Wayne in concert at the time.
  • Carson says a contact reached Young Money executive Mack Maine to help arrange the meeting, and Wayne’s Tha Carter VI Tour continues through October with Lil WeezyAna Fest slated for November.
