Lil Wayne Confirms ‘Tha Carter VI’ Will Drop Before the End of 2025

The Young Money legend promises fans they won’t have to wait much longer.

Lil Wayne has officially reassured fans that Tha Carter VI will be delivered before the end of 2025. 

The rap icon confirmed the news during a chat with AT&T at the College Football Playoff National Championship in Atlanta on Monday (January 20). When asked if fans could expect the highly anticipated album this year, he gave a confident one-word answer: “Guaranteed.”

This marks the most promising update yet on the highly anticipated project and Wayne’s first solo album since 2020’s “Funeral.” 

Over the years, the Young Money boss has dropped hints about the project, and it’s clear he’s been assembling a roster of unexpected collaborators.

Last year, Warren G spilled the beans about his contribution, sharing on SiriusXM: “I got a record called ‘All Alone’ with Lil Wayne. It’s gonna be on ‘Tha Carter VI.’. That muthaf–ka’s so vicious. When they hear that, they gon’ be like, ‘Wow!’ […] This is a banger.”

Meanwhile, NBA superstar Kevin Durant accidentally revealed his involvement in the project, much to Weezy’s annoyance. “Why would KD do that? That was on the wrap,” Wayne laughed in a conversation with Taylor Rooks. “See KD, you messed up.” While the song’s fate on “Tha Carter VI” remains unclear, Wayne hinted it might land on another project instead.

With promises of fresh sounds and collaborations, Weezy’s guarantee has set the stage for what’s shaping up to be a monumental return.
