AceShowbiz - Legendary rapper Lil Wayne has announced the release of "Tha Carter VI", the highly anticipated sixth installment in his iconic "Carter" series. The announcement came via a surprise twist at the end of a Super Bowl ad for Cetaphil.
Republic Records and Young Money have since confirmed the album's release date of June 6. This marks the next chapter in an album series that began in 2004 and has consistently topped the Billboard 200.
Despite starring in a Super Bowl ad sparked online chatter, the rapper won't be attending the NFL event in his hometown of New Orleans after he was not picked for Halftime Show despite his strong ties to the city. The organizers opted for Kendrick Lamar instead.
Meanwhile, "Tha Carter VI" comes seven years after the release of "Tha Carter V", which featured hit singles like "Uproar" and "Don't Cry." Wayne has remained active since then, releasing projects like "Funeral" in 2020 and collaborating with a number of artists like Tyler, The Creator, Tyga, and Nicki Minaj.
With "Tha Carter VI" set for June 6, fans can anticipate more details, including the tracklist and potential collaborations, in the coming months. The album promises to continue Wayne's legacy as one of hip-hop's heavyweights.
