While details are scarce, photos of Biebs and Weezy F. Baby clocking in studio time have surfaced.

Justin Bieber is racking up his hip-hop collaborations. After logging studio time with T.I., Rick Ross, Diddy, Wale, and T-Pain, the pop superstar hit the studio for a late-night session with Lil Wayne. “Me and Tunechi in the studio,” wrote the Canadian crooner, who previously collaborated with Weezy on “Backpack” for his Journals album. After pulling an all nighter, the singer and rapper were seen exiting the Hit Factory in Miami around 6 a.m. on Friday morning. Draped in a blanket, Bieber was greeted by fans and paparazzi on his way out. (Rap-Up)

Last month, Young Money manager Cortez Bryant revealed Wayne’s final solo album would not make its May 5 deadline.

Cortez Bryant recently confirmed to NeverNotDope TV that Lil Wayne’s upcoming Tha Carter V album will not be released in stores on May 5th, which is the date Drake previously announced. Weezy F Baby’s best friend and manager also spoke on the project a little bit by calling it “amazing”, as well as saying it will be better than Tha Carter III. While Tez would not confirm a new release date for C5, he did say that us fans should “pay attention to this week coming” for news on it. The video of this interview, which you can watch below, was uploaded on March 21st so it should be this week that we are currently in right now! (Lil Wayne HQ)

Recently, Wayne said time and maturity played a major role on molding C5.

“I say it’s different, because I’m older and wiser, and I know more things and I know more about myself now,” the decorated rap star told MTV News as he leaned back on the couch of his trailer Wednesday morning during a break from shooting Young Money’s “Senile” video in Los Angeles. “I’m more careful about what I’m doing and trying to be more careful what I’m saying,” he explained about his state of mind while recording C5.

Over summer 2013, Weezy F. Baby said he saw himself hanging up the microphone after Carter V dropped.

“Yes, very true,” Wayne said when asked if his retirement plans are still on deck. “I want to retire after Tha Carter V which I hope will be my last album. My next album’s not Tha Carter V because I think I have to work on other albums as well with my pop, Birdman, and things like that. But after Tha Carter V, I hope I can retire. [laughs] … [I’ll be able to do] things like spend quality time with my kids.” (“The Jimmy Kimmel Show”)
