Lil Wayne Reveals ‘Tha Carter VI’ Album Release Date

Among the flurry of celebrities jumping on the skincare bandwagon, Lil Waye might have just topped them all. Pulling a move no one saw coming, Wayne casually announced his forthcoming album Tha Carter VI in the last few seconds of a Cetaphil commercial. Known for his offbeat genius, the rap legend revealed that the highly anticipated project drops June 6, 2025. Sources at Republic Records confirmed the news with Rolling Stone. The LP will mark Weezy’s 14th studio album and first solo release in five years.

Ahead of Super Bowl LVIII, Wayne had fans buzzing after revealing he wouldn’t be attending the game. Instead, he teased something “very special” in the works. Turns out, that “something” was a clever marketing play. While many expected him to take center stage at the halftime show, the spot ultimately went to Kendrick Lamar. But Wayne made his own moment.

The Cetaphil ad hilariously makes fun of Wayne’s “sensitive” side—both emotionally and, apparently, dermatologically. The tagline? “We’re all a lil sensitive.” Subtle dig? Maybe. But fans quickly picked up on the hidden details. Throughout the ad, the numbers six and 25 pop up repeatedly—on jerseys, a scoreboard—before the final reveal: a sign on Wayne’s studio door reading, “Do Not Disturb ’til 06-06-25. Carter VI.”

It’s peak Weezy: unexpected, smart, and totally on his terms with a brand partnership to boot. While some may still be salty he wasn’t part of the Super Bowl line-up, he made it clear—he doesn’t need a halftime show to stir buzz.
