Lil Wayne to perform at Cambridge Strawberries and Creem festival

(BBC) American rapper Lil Wayne will play his first UK show in several years at the Strawberries and Creem festival.

The 39-year-old musician has sold more than 20 million albums worldwide and won five Grammy awards.

He was forced to cancel a UK tour in 2011 after his visa application was reportedly rejected by UK border authorities due to prior convictions.

His performance at the Cambridge event will be his only European show in 2022, festival organisers said.

Strawberries and Creem, which has been running since 2014, has also continued its pledge from last year to feature more female acts.

Artists such as Mabel, Ella Mai and Tems will be part of the line-up.
