Lil Wayne has finally provided the long-awaited confirmation of new music to his admirers. “I am currently at work on Carter VI, which will be released soon!” Later on Saturday (August 6), Wayne made the announcement following his performance at Drake’s “October World Weekend: Road to OVO Fest Tour.”

Tha Carter V, Wayne’s final studio album, was released in 2018. It peaked at number one on the Billboard 200 and at the time ranked as the second most streamed album. Twenty-three tracks comprise the fan-favorite album, including “What About Me,” “Dоpe,” and “Hittas.” However, the frequently reclusive rapper has remained silent since the album’s release regarding when fans can anticipate a follow-up. Until Saturday, he had at least that.

In ecstatic response to the news, supporters deluged social media with comments. Someone else wrote, “Will be on REPEAT heavy!!!” Others remarked, “Absolutely necessary in this musical climate!!!” “A double cup must be visible and the lighter flick must be audible.” “Tha Carter III vibes are required.”

Nicki Minaj, Drake, and Wayne participated in a Young Money Reunion at this weekend’s performance. In front of the ecstatic audience of thousands, the three artists performed some of their most popular track titles. Initially, the reunion was slated to occur on Monday, August 1st. In the end, the performance was rescheduled due to the performer of “God’s Plan” testing positive for CоVID-19. As previously documented by REVOLT, the news was disseminated to his fan base via social media. “I am profoundly disheartened to inform you that my Cоvid test result is positive; consequently, the Young Money Reunion show that was originally scheduled for tonight must be rescheduled for the earliest opportunity.” The performance was well worth the audience’s delay.

Drake not only attended the event to reconcile with his former labelmates, but he also utilized the occasion to convey his appreciation to Wayne. Drake stated, “Shout out to everyone, but this man right here, I assure you, I assure you, there is no one else on planet Earth like this man.” He continued by expressing gratitude to Wayne for his assistance throughout his career. “Anything would be done for you.” I would lie down for you, anyone. He stated, “I would travel to the farthest points on Earth for this man.” View the following video for Drake’s complete remarks:
