Lil Wayne greets hundreds of fans at Metairie appearance: recap

Lil Wayne is scheduled to appear at 3:30 p.m. today (Feb. 1) at Macy's Lakeside, 3301 Veteran's Memorial Blvd. in Metairie, to promote TRUKFIT, the apparel brand he launched in 2012. Wayne is expected to present autographed pictures to the first 100 fans who purchased at least $100 of his branded merchandise at the event. TRUKFIT is an acronym for The Reason You Kill For It, and reflects Waynes gritty, skateboard-meets-hip-hop approach to fashion.

Music writer Alison Fensterstock and reporter Doug MacCash are on the scene. Check back for photos and video from the scene throughout the afternoon.
