Lil Wayne is ready to reclaim his throne in the rap game with the announcement of Tha Carter VI, set for release in 2025. After a tumultuous year filled with drama, including a public feud with Kendrick Lamar over the Super Bowl Halftime Show, Wayne is shifting gears and focusing on his music. Despite facing setbacks, the New Orleans legend assures fans that this next installment in his iconic series is “guaranteed” to drop next year.
During a recent interview, Wayne was clear about his intentions, revealing that he has been teasing the album since 2022. Initially, he had hinted that Tha Carter V would be the last in the franchise, but plans have since changed, leading to heightened anticipation for this new chapter. The lead single, “Kant Nobody,” featuring a posthumous verse from DMX, was released in early 2023, although it failed to generate significant buzz. To rekindle interest, Wayne released a prequel mixtape, Tha Fix Before Tha VI, in September 2023, but it received mixed reviews from both fans and critics.

Despite the ups and downs, Wayne has shown his versatility and continued relevance through collaborations with contemporary artists like Jack Harlow, JID, and Tyler, The Creator, whose recent single “Sticky” featured a well-received guest verse from him. As anticipation builds for Tha Carter VI, fans are left wondering if Wayne can channel this momentum into what could be one of the biggest albums of 2025.
With Tha Carter V achieving double platinum status, the stakes are high, and all eyes will be on Lil Wayne as he prepares to make his mark once again. Can he deliver a blockbuster album that reaffirms his legacy in hip-hop? Only time will tell, but his declaration has certainly set the stage for an exciting comeback.
