Weezy F. Baby’s delayed Carter V‘s cover art surfaced online in mid-August.

Speaking with Skip Bayless and Stephen A. Smith on First Take, Weezy revealed the fifth installment of Tha Carter V will arrive on October 28. (Miss Info TV)

Over the summer, Wayne said he hadn’t felt an urge to rush the LP onto store shelves.

“Carter V is coming soon. When? I don’t know,” Wayne explained in a video. “Don’t ask me. Don’t ask me why it’s taking so long. I don’t know. I’ve just been chilling. I don’t know. But, the tour is coming. Drake versus Lil Wayne. Be looking for that. You already know.” (Weezy Wednesdays)

Despite previously claiming Carter V would be his last album, Wayne recently said fans could now expect at least one more release from him.

“This year, not only will I be dropping Tha Carter V — I’m dropping two albums,” Wayne said in a video. “This year, looking forward to two albums from me because I been out the game for a second. … Honestly, the reason why it became two albums is because I went to work on Tha Carter V and I don’t stop working. So it’s either Carter V would be 93 songs, or we’re gonna have to figure this out.” (Weezy Wednesdays)
