Lil Wayne has dropped a surprise collaboration with Future and Lil Baby titled “Momma Don’t Worry,” just days after releasing his highly anticipated album, Tha Carter VI. This unexpected track adds to the excitement surrounding Weezy’s recent music, following the release of the “Banned from NO” remix with Nicki Minaj, which also garnered attention for its bold content.
The new single, while not included in the final version of Tha Carter VI, has received a positive reception from fans, though it remains unclear whether it will be featured in a future deluxe edition of the album. The timing of this release continues to highlight Lil Wayne’s prolific output, maintaining momentum in the hip-hop scene.
In her recent remix, Nicki Minaj took aim at the NFL and commentator Shannon Sharpe, expressing her frustrations over the NFL’s decision to overlook Lil Wayne for the Super Bowl halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans. Minaj’s pointed lyrics showcased her support for Wayne, further solidifying their collaborative relationship.
Tha Carter VI itself has experienced a mixed critical reception since its release, with projected first-week sales expected to be around 110,000 equivalent units—significantly lower than the debut numbers of previous installments in the series. The album is anticipated to debut at number two on the Billboard 200, behind country star Morgan Wallen.
Notably, Tha Carter VI features a range of eclectic collaborations, including an appearance by U2’s Bono on the anthemic track “The Days.” As Lil Wayne reflects on his career, he acknowledges his evolution within the hip-hop landscape, rapping about his status as an elder statesman in the genre.
With the release of “Momma Don’t Worry,” Lil Wayne continues to demonstrate his relevance and influence in the music industry, while fans eagerly await what he has in store next. As the summer unfolds, the anticipation for further collaborations and potential future projects remains high, marking another exciting chapter in the legendary rapper’s career.
