For the past six years, Lil Wayne has been writing and crafting his massively anticipated sixth installment of his legendary Tha Carter series. The album includes features from Andrea Bocelli, Bono, Jelly Roll, Big Sean, 2 Chainz, MGK, Wyclef Jean, Kodak Black, along with his sons Kameron Carter and Lil Novi.
Reflecting upon THA CARTER VI, Wayne says, “Real art can’t be rushed — and y’all know I ain’t never been on nobody’s clock but mine. Been silent but not still. To the fans who’ve been waiting, I love you. This album is for the ones who’ve been riding with me through all Tha Carters. We takin’ it further than ever before with this one. Tunechi back. C6 is here. I’m just bein myself. Sorry for the wait.”
The first public glimpse of the album debuted during last night’s 2025 NBA Final Game 2 between the Oklahoma City Thunder and Indiana Pacers, where “The Days” feat. Bono appeared in marketing and creative promotions and will continue throughout the series and extend into broadcasts.
To celebrate the release, Wayne will hold his first-ever headlining show at Madison Square Garden tonight, June 6, giving fans an exclusive first listen to the new music live in New York City.
Additionally, tickets for his recently announced ‘Tha Carter VI’ tour will be available starting at 10am local today, and will be a special North American run following the release of the new record and celebrating over 20 years of his iconic Tha Carter album series. The tour will feature special guests Tyga and Belly Gang Kushington across all dates and NoCap on select dates. Tickets are available at LiveNation.com. Full routing is below.
Aside from this tour he is also planning something special for his hometown at this year’s Weezyana fest in New Orleans, to be announced at a later date.

ABOUT LIL WAYNE & YOUNG MONEY ENTERTAINMENT:
Lil Wayne rewrote the entire game in his image. The five-time GRAMMY® Award-winning multi-platinum rap icon, Young Money Entertainment founder, acclaimed author, pro skater, philanthropist, and history-making superstar left an indelible tattoo on the culture. By 2020, he cemented his legacy forever as “one of the best-selling artists of all time,” tallying sales in excess of 100 million records worldwide with 25 million albums and 90 million digital tracks sold in the United States alone. In 2022, Wayne earned his first Diamond certification from the RIAA with his generational smash hit “Lollipop” feat. Static Major. Not to mention, he garnered 11 BET Awards, four Billboard Music Awards, two MTV VMAs, and eight NAACP Image Awards. Among many milestones, he emerged as “the first male artist to surpass Elvis Presley with the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100,” logging a staggering 183 entries – the 3rd most of all time.
With a discography highlighted by five career spanning #1 debuts beginning with 2008’s 6x platinum, 3x GRAMMY® Award-winning opus Tha Carter III and its 5x platinum, 2011 successor Tha Carter IV, he released the latest version of the series – Tha Carter V – in 2018. Not only did it clinch #1 on the Billboard 200, but it also achieved “the second-largest streaming week for an album in history.” Every song on the tracklisting charted on the Billboard Hot 100 as he became “the first artist to debut two songs in the top 5.” It all bulldozed the way for his thirteenth full-length, Funeral, a year later. Simultaneously, Wayne owns and operates Young Money Entertainment as C.E.O. The company ignited the careers of two of the most successful artists ever—Drake and Nicki Minaj. The committed philanthropist founded The One Family Foundation too.
