Lil Wayne had been teasing a big announcement, and now we finally know what it is. Tha Carter VI is officially dropping on June 6, 2025. For fans who have been eagerly awaiting the next chapter in the legendary Carter series, this is the moment they’ve been hoping for since Tha Carter V hit in 2018. Given that the last installment faced its fair share of delays, the news of C6 coming this summer feels like a victory lap.
While details surrounding the album remain under wraps, the announcement alone has already sent surprises through the hip-hop world. Wayne picked a particularly interesting time to make the reveal, as he also used the moment to confirm he’d be skipping the Super Bowl this year. If you’ve been following the chatter, you know there was a lot of speculation about whether Weezy or Kendrick Lamar would land the coveted halftime performance. But Wayne made it clear that there’s no bad blood—just mutual respect.
Lil Wayne Is Coming For The Throne
Thus, the rollout for Tha Carter VI is already in motion, and Wayne is making sure fans have plenty to talk about leading up to June 6. Case in point: his remix of LiAngelo Ball’s viral hit “Tweaker” dropped today. The original track, with its nostalgic 2000s bounce, has been dominating social media, and now Weezy is about to put his signature spin on it. If history has taught us anything, it’s that Lil Wayne thrives when he’s got something to prove. Moreover, this remix could give us an early glimpse of what C6 might sound like.
For now, all we can do is wait. But one thing’s for sure: Lil Wayne is gearing up for a major year, and Tha Carter VI is shaping up to be one of 2025’s biggest hip-hop releases.
