The event is set for December 2 at FNB Stadium in Johannesburg. The rapper revealed the date during an interview with US hip-hop radio personality, DJ Charlamagne. 

"We doing FNB Stadium, we hoping for over 75 000 people. It's probably going to be the biggest hip- hop concert in the world. We still working on the lineup. Maybe you should come out and MC [he said to Charlamagne]. It's going to be an amazing night," he said.

Although the rapper did not want to divulge too many details about the event, he said that his theme would be more African this time around.
