Grammy-winning rapper Lil Wayne has his finger on the Tha Carter V‘s trigger. This week, the Young Money leader provided fans with an update on his long-delayed solo album.
According to Weezy F. Baby, the project is still the best material he’s ever heard despite its endless release date setbacks.
“It’s done, sitting and wrapped as is. I just listened to it for the first time in months the other day. I had forgotten every single word on it, because I work every day. I popped it in, and I was like, it’s still so much better than everything I’ve ever heard. Not what’s going on right now — everything I’ve ever heard.” (The New York Times)
Recent reports claimed Cash Money boss Birdman had nothing to do with Carter 5‘s delay.
Sources connected to Birdman tell TMZ … Wayne’s threat to retire isn’t sitting well with the Cash Money honcho, who says the narrative he’s holding the now-mythical album hostage … is total BS. We’re told Weezy has the physical recording, and refuses to fork it over — so Birdman feels like his hands are tied. For Wayne’s part, we’re told he’d be happy to give up ‘Carter V’ … AFTER they work out the money. We’re also told Weezy will never leak it on the Internet because he ain’t giving it up for free. (TMZ)
Last month, Lil Wayne publicly spoke out on his Cash Money battle.
“This was a tweet off of an argument,” Wayne said. “This was a tweet after an argument. Yeah, yeah, I’m a Libra. We’re known to, cliché, known to not hold back our emotions – we’re the only zodiac sign without a heart or soul – I was at my tipping point [because of] an argument over what’s going on. … This is business – when business is involved, I have a family, I have kids. I have a mother. We got bills.” (“Undisputed”)

A few days prior, Wayne publicly bashed Cash Money and longtime mentor Birdman with his “Grateful” song.
