Birdman and Mannie Fresh have reunited as the Big Tymers — but only for one night to celebrate a very special birthday.
Fresh wasted no time in posting videos from the event that took place on Saturday (March 23), revealing that Juvenile joined in on the fun for a few songs at the Metropolitan Nightclub. The show was the crown jewel of a weekend-long birthday celebration for Mannie.
“@birdman @juviethegreat we do this!! Who is ready?,” he wrote on one post. On another, he wrote, “When the band is back together we creat [sic] history!”
Check out all the videos below.
The DJ, producer, and rapper turned 55 years old on March 20.
The Big Tymers show was far from the only party in town that Mannie was seen at recently. He headlined multiple events at New Orleans’ Wreckless Weekend, including a day party and a show with Bun B. But the biggest one by far was him and Birdman performing as the Big Tymers.
The duo of Mannie and the Cash Money label head haven’t released an album since 2003, and haven’t put out new music since a one-off track in 2018.
Tickets for their reunion show started at $30 and went up to a staggering $2,500 (plus fees, tax, tip, and mandatory bottles) VIP package for 15 people — platinum football field not included.
“We gonna shut the town down,” Baby promised while sat next to his longtime collaborator in a video announcement for the concert.
The Big Tymers may not be the only Cash Money group getting back together. The Hot Boys have been teasing a similar reunion in 2024.

While no shows have been announced yet, one member of the quartet, Juvenile, is convinced the reunion will happen.
The “Back That Azz Up” rapper talked to TMZ earlier this month to share the scoop about the status of the long-awaited reunion, now that group member B.G. is out of prison.
“No negativity from me, man,” he said. “You know, with me, I’m always like, ‘It’s gon’ happen.’ It’s gonna happen. We gotta let them simmer down a little bit. But trust me though, it’s happening.”
Juvie’s comment about simmering down was a nod to the feud between B.G. and Lil Wayne.
