Lil Wayne Confirms Completion of ‘Tha Carter VI’ and Teases Future Projects

Lil Wayne confirmed on Wednesday, September 4, 2024, that his highly anticipated album Tha Carter VI is complete. During a live session on Instagram, he greeted fans and shared updates on his recent work, stating, “Just finished working on a couple of features. I would tell y’all who it is, but you know I wouldn’t do that and f**k it up. Shout out to those artists [and my] family.”

In a playful twist, he added, “I’m working on Tha Carter VI. I just wanted you to know that. Honestly, I’m finished. I was lying. We’re working on Tha Carter 26. I think you already know that.”

In 2023, Lil Wayne released Tha Fix Before Tha VI (Bonus), a project featuring 11 tracks, including collaborations with the late DMX on “Kant Nobody” and other artists like Jon Batiste and Fousheé. The standout tracks included “Kat Food” and “To The Bank.” This project served as a follow-up to 2018’s Tha Carter V, which featured hits like “Mona Lisa” with Kendrick Lamar and “Don’t Cry” with XXXTentacion.

While Lil Wayne did not confirm any new music for 2024, he announced the seventh annual Lil’ Weezyana Fest, set to feature a reunion with the Hot Boys and other surprise guests. “Lil Wayne embodies the spirit of New Orleans, and Lil Weezyana Fest is a stellar showcase of the city’s dynamic and flourishing music scene,” stated Brandon Pankey from Live Nation Urban, highlighting the festival’s significance to the local culture.
