Bad Boy Family Reunion Concert Tickets On Sale March 31: Jay-Z, Puff Daddy, Lil Kim, Mary J. Blige, And More
There’s a big Bad Boy Family Reunion concert that’s happening, according to Ticketmaster and other websites. The super-concert is taking place at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn, New York, with a plethora of names listed as participating in the Bad Boy Family Reunion concert on Friday, May 20 at 8 p.m. ET.
The famous names in the concert’s line-up are bringing attention to the show. With names like Puff Daddy, Lil Kim, Mase, Faith Evans, Mario Winans, 112, Total, The Lox, French Montana, Jay-Z, and Mary J. Blige set to appear, these concert tickets will likely sell out quickly. According to Ticketmaster, the pre-sale tickets start in less than a day — as of this writing — with a countdown clock that displays the hours left.
Mase (or Ma$e, as it were) became famous for giving up his rap career for a time after detailing his salvation journey to Jesus in the book Revelations: There’s a Light After the Lime by Pastor Mason Betha. Therefore, it will be interesting for Bad Boy Family fans to see the pastor in concert along with all of the other famous Bad Boy names, some of whom haven’t been in the limelight for a period of time.

According to Complex, Hill already said she has a duets Biggie album with previously unheard songs that’s set for an autumn release date. Fans should be able to hear Faith’s first single during the summer. Puffy called the concert something more than a concert. Puff noted that while he is currently creating a No Way Out 2 album, the Bad Boy Reunion concert will make hip-hop history. There’s no word on whether the Bad Bay reunion concert will feature Faith’s new songs or Puff’s new songs.
Sean “Diddy” Combs aka Puff Daddy made sure to note how important he viewed the upcoming concert.
“This isn’t just another concert — This is hip-hop history. The Bad Boy Family includes some of the biggest names in music and songs that helped define a whole generation of music. Also, we are celebrating one of the greatest of all time – Notorious B.I.G. This will be a night to remember. I can’t wait to see you all there.”
While the pre-sale tickets can be had as early as Thursday, Ticketmaster explained how American Express members or others can get ahold of tickets for the concert earlier.
