Kobe Bryant revealed what some have speculated could be Lil Wayne’s Tha Carter V cover art via social media yesterday (April 28). The NBA star, who has been the subject of a Lil Wayne song, also posted the following caption:
“Carter V season begins #carterV”
Lil Wayne followed this up by posting an image of Kobe Bryant’s Instagram post on Twitter. His caption: “Believe me.”
The cover art has not been confirmed by the label. The artwork, which features Young Money and Cash Money Records logos, could also be a promotional poster for the release.
Kobe Bryant’s promotional push for Lil Wayne may be due to their longstanding friendship. In 2009, Lil Wayne released “Kobe Bryant,” a song about the Los Angeles Lakers guard.
“Kobe doin’ work,” Wayne raps on the track. “2-4 on my shirt/The greatest on the court, I’m the greatest on the verse.”
Wayne recently addressed his Carter V release.
“I personally plan on this being my final solo album, yes, and it’s definitely the final Carter album,” Lil Wayne said in March. “It’s the final Carter album. It’s stopping at five. I didn’t smile when I said it…I plan on it being my final solo album. Whenever I have to pitch in for a Young Money album, a Like Father, Like Son album and something like that and maybe something out the blue, but the way I’m working on this album, it’s to me, the way it seems like now,it seems like it’ll be impossible for me to work this hard again for anything else.”

My last pay check was $9500 working 12 hours a week online. My neighbour’s sister has been averaging 15k for months now and she works about 20 hours a week. I can’t believe how easy it was once I tried it out.

Tha Carter albums have been pretty damn good.. the first one is a classic in my opinion. i think Wayne is gonna put his all into this and it could be great
that is horrible artwork and kobe doesnt listen to wayne, he bumps old Shaq albums for motivation.

But u still gay
Kobe 2nd only to MJ (thats for all you bitch ass hatin on Kobe muthafuckas) Now Wayne on the other hand not so great good at one point in time but nowhere near great. Just so im clear with everyone Kobe has FIVE rings (2 without Shaq) now put that in ya mouth and suck it!!
Bill Russell 11…..Yankees 27 rings DO I MAKE ANY SENSE NOOOOOOOO DO YOU HELLLLL NOOOOOOOOOOOO
DOES KOBE PLAY 1 ON 5 NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
SO HOP OFF THE MAN’S DICK N WIPE THE SEMEN OFF YOUR CHEEKS FAG
so Kobe won three rings with Shaq, how come he can’t win more than three without Shaq? HE NEEDS SHAQ!
He won two more without Shaq.
Never will understand why there are so many haters on Kobe?!! I guess if ignorant and really dont understand then thats how you would feel!! Hate all you want history is history!! Thats why when you talk about one of the greatest ballers ever you have to mention Kobe. SO PUT THAT IN YO MOMMAS PUSSIES AND FUCK IT!!!
I wonder how much that cost wayne.
How the fuck are you going to call it “speculating” when they CLEARLY spelled it out for you. Dumbasses.
