Lil Wayne fans were praying Tha Carter V would drop at 12 a.m. EST night on Friday (September 21). But as the midnight hour came and went, the nearly mythical album was nowhere to be found.
The highly anticipated fifth installment of Tha Carter series has been delayed for years due to Wayne’s legal troubles with Cash Money CEO Bryan “Birdman” Williams.
The September 21 release date rumor starting floating around earlier this month. On September 12, Young Money caused a temporary social media frenzy when they posted Tha Carter V cover art.
So, when it didn’t arrive, Twitter lit up with negative reactions.
Check out the fury that unfolded below. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Ppl calm down it’s only 10:48pm on the West Coast so as of right now technically he didn’t lie nor did he officially give a release date ?? Children smh
His daddy Birdman told him he aint releasing shieet
i thought the album is available as a pirated download?
Artist have been increasingly using this fake release date marketing ploy to drum up sales and awareness for the album. This stunt by Wayne was quite predictable.
Social media/C5 = a bunch of over dramatic folks using the same memes and gifs to whine over a dated ass album by an artist that looks like he has one foot in the grave due to drug abuse…Wayne is now one of those artists that if I want to listen to him, I’ll just pop in some old shit
The carter V is now officially DETOX ???
This might be a stupid question, but how does that post from sept 12 indicate a sept 21 release? Am I missing something?
No, it’s not a stupid question. I agree. You would’ve thought that he sent them a personal message or something.
People actually thought c5 was going to drop.?
Birdman still has Wayne by the “you know whats.” He’s not letting him go. I don’t give a damn what anybody says.
Lil Wayne garbage anyways. Get the f*ck outta here.
its probably dropping on his birthday. we waited 4 years and twitters fake outrage cant wait longer?
Don’t people get tired of using the same memes over and over again? And while we’re at it, is this the thing they want to voice their outrage about?
I USE TO LOVE ALL YOUR MUSIC BUT AFTER ALL THE BULLSHIT LIES and FAILED RELEASED DATES ITS TIME TO BURN ALL LIL WAYNE’S MUSIC JUST LIKE WE BURNED OUR NIKES HE NEEDS TO KNOW THAT HES TOO OLD NOW SO OUT WITH WEEZY AND THERES ALOT OF OTHERS WHO DESERVES OUR MONEY AND RESPECT
Birdman say this kid suck a mean dick thou

Yeah you do, stop lying.
Wayne been donce since 2013. Its over. Its ok..he was once the most popular rapper. Carter 3 came out just over 10 years ago. I wanna hear another Carter, 4 was decent. GIVE ME CARTER V or RETIRE Lol
I’m so sick of this mans lies, this mf been lying to me since I was 15 years old I’m 28 now, I had my entire night planned out, I was gon play Spider-Man drink my Henny & bang 5, I got into it wit my b*tch and said nothing cuz while she was yelling I’m thinking “don’t trip bro C5 on the way” f*ck u Dwayne Michael Carter
damn i feel u bro
It’s slowly gotten worse
Ya’ll hyped to hear some garbage that was recorded 5 years ago? You know the beats are played. References are out dated I never liked Little Dwayne anyway
Hey everyone! Detox is supposed to be released today also! Stay tuned to your favorite hip hop website as Detox and Carter 5 are both coming out today
Detox jokes are washed. Dre said years ago he would never release it
Nah we got new Roc marci and Lupe… we good
With all the dope hip hop that’s come out this year, why check for Carter V? Wayne is done. He’s been wack longer than he’s been dope.
Basically whack his whole career. Only Caucasian suburban kids listen to wayne.
and koreans.
Your a fucking idiot
Wayne is a living legend!! the carter V @ this point is just icing on the cake. He doesn’t need to do anything else. His legacy has been cemented since the 1st carter! #GoAT #CV
Wayne can be No. 1 again easily if he wants. His wordplay is much better than most mumble rappers. Remember that he grew up late in an era where lyrics still mattered. But matters less and less each year since. He’s versatile tho. He’s probably still eating off his classics and touring.
Not with that pistol track. He saw the views on that track and said……gotta do this all over again, my bad!
Bye Alicia.
You people are idiots. Wayne isn’t that smart to reverse numbers and have secret meanings. And his albums have steadily gotten worse since carter 3… why are u even sweating this
Does Rockstar needs to release a GTA VI? No. They still making millions a year off of V. Y’all get the point.
Wayne has been wack for a long time now. Why are some of y’all even sweating him?
