Lil Wayne and Vice President Kamala Harris made surprise appearances at Essence's tribute to 30 years of Cash Money Records.
Why it matters: Essence Fest is celebrating its 30th anniversary this weekend in New Orleans.
The big picture: Lil Wayne is the most prominent member of Cash Money Millionaires, who helped put New Orleans rap on the national stage.
He wasn't on the schedule but he made a surprise appearance at the Caesars Superdome for a second year in a row.
Birdman, Juvenile, Mannie Fresh and B.G. also performed, along with The Roots, Busta Rhymes, Raphael Saadiq, T-Pain, Ari Lennox and Mickey Guyton.
