The infighting between Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records has ostensibly shelved Tha Carter V, but Weezy claims that’s not the case. In fact, he says he can release it whenever he wants.
During an interview with Q93’s Wild Wayne to promote the 2017 Lil Weezyana Fest, the Young Money founder said he’s simply waiting to drop the album because he wants to do it the right way.
“Of course you’re going to see Tha Carter V,” he told Wild Wayne when asked about the album’s status. “Man, I just don’t want to put it out the wrong way. Honestly, man, I can do what I want honestly at any time. The fans deserve it to be right and that’s how it’s gonna be. I’ma make sure it’s right. I can drop whatever I want to drop. I keep dropping whatever I want to drop. But I’m not gonna give ’em Carter V the wrong way.”
Wayne also stated that he was finished working on the LP. Now, it’s just a matter of putting it out in a proper manner.
“Carter V is done,” he said. “Carter V on the shelf just ready to drop. I don’t have to … I ain’t gotta do that. I move on and keep it moving and give them what I’m doing right now. But Carter V is ready to be listened to. It’s just gotta be listened to the right way and like I said, I ain’t gonna give it to ’em wrong.”
Weezy’s words continue his trend of an optimistic outlook on the album’s release. In April, he told fans at a show that the LP was “coming soon.”
The sentiment is drastically different from his mindset in January. A source in Weezy’s camp told TMZ that Birdman was “full of shit” for saying the oft-delayed album was “definitely coming out.”
Listen to Wayne’s entire interview above. Tha Carter V talk begins around the 7:30 mark.
Who cares? I haven’t heard not one of his albums ever. I dont listen to dudes that kiss dudes.
if the album been ready why not release it? the lyrics are gonna be hella outdated when he finally drops it.. no one gonna get any of the references because it’s shit that happened a long ass time ago.. im sure he knows this too and i think he’s bluffin when he says he can drop it anytime he wants to.. either that or he stupid. Birdman keepin the album hostage smh
He’ll release it at Will. Wills a lucky dude. But so can shkreli
Who’s Wiil doe?
As an accountant for cash money, i can confirm michael jackson was in talks to sign with cash money back in 2009. He would have released solo album and a duet album with lil wayne (back when he was loyal and not a backstabber). Unfortunately, sony hired a doctor to kill him once they found out MJ would sign with a different label.
This is perfect comment etiquette
dentaldamboy is that you?
I still work at cash money. Drakes winning bigtime.
then you are a confirmed homosexual, aint nobody working on cash money than aint sucking dick
Bet you do… just maybe you don’t know it…
Zz.
I can imagine the hipe already, number one album. Wanye the f..kin man…
Then do it. It’s clearly no longer a current album, nobody wants it to drop in 2020 and think “what if” like the T-Wayne album.
I have also released on Will
He aint got shit but an album name and a fucked up contract with a 50 year old man he kissed and made pigeon noises with
his lyrics never went to shit, he’s the exact same as he was in 07 there is no change, it just got boring
Little Wayne is garbage. He should just retire.
He is the most overrated artist rapper of all time nobody check for his dumb ass go back under the rock you crawled out of weasel.
He isn’t the most overrated. Have you heard of Future?
Funny how it was given away in the CD player of lil wayne now I got it
I guarantee the album has been updated since “the original”.
I am not going to expound on that any further tho.
Ok. So with that in mind, will “the original” tracks leak at least prior? Riddle me that. Just yes or no. I appreciate it.
Lil Wayne is only fooling himself it took years before he woke up while he was over their drinking all the lean he could guzzle and popping all the pills he could swallow bird brain was getting him to sign his life away and he will be like most artist broke by the manager and label in the end
The Goat!! #freeTheCarter
We’re going to be having this same discussion 5 years later. Too late bro.
He full of isht. Hov dropped his within a month of the 4:44 adds started popping up. If this your last album on cash money. Drop your album and be out. They probably got dude under all types of contracts from publishing, merchandising to ownership of his name.
