Lil Wayne has confirmed that Eminem will join him on his international tour.

The star has already scheduled shows with Slim Shady in Australia.

He made the announcement on his official Facebook fan page.

"Headed to Fiji,Australia,then S. Africa...on tour with Slim Shady...a blessing...thx to those who supported C4! 2x platinum! Love y'all," he wrote.

It is so far unknown whether Eminem will be a regular fixture on his tour or he is making a special appearance.

The pair have previously worked together on Lil Wayne's 2009 single Drop the World. They also performed a medley of songs together on Saturday Night Live in 2010.

The news comes after Lil Wayne's ninth album Tha Carter IV was certified double platinum in the US.

The album was released at the end of August and debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with 964,000 copies sold in its first week, making it Lil Wayne's third chart topping album of his career.

The album was leaked on the web shortly before it was scheduled for release.

However, the rapper remained positive and was pleased people were so desperate to listen to his new material.

"It just means people want to hear it. I mean, 'cause there're people's albums that come out that can be leaked and don't leak, so I'm glad mines leaked," he told MTV News at the time.
