Lil Wayne has revealed the exciting announcement he teased in anticipation of the upcoming Super Bowl LIX—and it does indeed correlate to his forthcoming album.
On February 6th, the New Orleans native shared an Instagram post featuring an early Super Bowl ad for moisturizing company Cetaphil in which he stars alongside actor and alternative artist Bookem Woodbine. In a move which appears to both troll and leverage his “sensitive” reaction to Kendrick Lamar being named as the headliner of the halftime show in his hometown, Wayne announced his album the Carter VI will arrive in early June.
While Lil Wayne didn’t provide any other additional details on the project, other than the June 6 release date, he did issue a “do not disturb” message to fans further pointing to the aforementioned calendared arrival. However, the verbiage of the announcement could also be a reference to his response to Kendrick Lamar over the bars the West Coast MC name-dropped him in on his GNX album track “wacced out murals,” which also indirectly quotes Wayne’s statement about not being selected to perform at the Super Bowl.
