It looks like Juvenile will be doing a Tiny Desk concert and Twitter users are the reason why. The news comes on the heels of Trina's Tiny Desk performance last week. The "Here We Go" rapper put on a memorable show. Additionally, her performance included a tribute to her late mother. Apparently, the Miami rapper's performance got some fans thinking if other stars from the era would also make an appearance.
Subsequently, a humorous exchange took place between Twitter users and Juvenile. The back and forth started with a simple request from one fan. “Can we please get a Juvenile Tiny Desk?” the fan asked. Additionally, the fan tagged Juvenile as as well as NPR music. However, the "Slow Motion" rapper appeared to be dumbfounded by the request. "WTF is a Tiny Desk and no," he responded. The humorous tweet quickly went viral.

As the tweet blew up, the rapper appeared to have a change of heart. As a result, Juvie went on to say he was open to the idea based on one very specific stipulation. "All Things Considered, 10k retweets, and I will reconsider doing @NPR Tiny Desk while drinking an ice cold #JuvieJuice from@UrbanSouthBeer!!!” he said. Ever the businessman, the New Orleans native took the time to plug his hard iced tea brand Juvie Juice in the tweet. Subsequently. the tweet did garner the promised 10k likes. Juvenile went on to prove he is a man of his word by confirming he will be doing a concert after all.
Meanwhile, the rapper didn't share any details on when the performance may take place. However, it is likely that he will pull out all the stops. The attention the tweet storm garnered means he will have to kill it when the performance does happen. Moreover, there is obviously still an audience for Juvenile's music. Elsewhere, Juvenile is still making new music. The rapper teamed up late last year with fellow Cash Money legend Birdman. The pair made a single titled "Ali" that pays homage to boxing legend Muhammad Ali. It's clear that even more than two decades into his career, there is still a place for Juvenile in hip-hop.
