It looks like ‘Tha Carter V’ will stay under Birdman’s control for the time being, as he and Lil Wayne try to sort their unresolved grievances. However, the ‘C5’ delay doesn’t appear to be stopping Weezy from putting out a new album.
“Make sure they know that ‘Funeral’ is coming soon,” Lil Wayne said on “The Nine Club” podcast about his forthcoming project ‘Funeral’. “That’s my music. Get your roses ready. I don’t have a release date, but I have a whole bunch of good news coming soon. If you’re a Wayne fan, I know we’ve been going through a lot of tough times right now, but if you are a Wayne fan, we about to hold our heads high soon.”
For Wayne fans this is the best news associated with the rapper in a long time. The YMCMB general has been involved in an ongoing $51-million legal battle with Birdman, dealt with a series of seizures causing him to miss shows, and been under fire for his comments regarding the Black Lives Matter movement.
Aside from the new album announcement, Tunechi also tells “The Nine Club” host, Chris Roberts why he’s a Lakers and Packers fan, why he got into skating, Amazon’s Echo Alexa visiting his home, his partnership with Samsung, and a lot more. Watch and listen to the 60-minute interview below.
The release date for ‘Funeral’ is still pending. The project will be Wayne’s first since his 2015 ‘Free Weezy Album’.
