Lil Wayne has set social media ablaze with his clever and comedic response to being overlooked for the Super Bowl 2025 halftime show, using the moment to announce his highly anticipated album, Tha Carter VI.
In a move that blends humor with marketing genius, Wayne revealed the album’s release date through an unexpected medium—a Cetaphil skincare commercial.
A Super Bowl Snub Turned Marketing Masterclass
The commercial, titled “We’re All a Lil Sensitive,” subtly weaves in the album’s release date, “06-06-25”, through elements like sports jerseys and a scoreboard. The highlight? A scene where Wayne declines Super Bowl tickets with a smirk, saying:
“Nah, this is time sensitive.”
The final shot features his studio door marked “Do Not Disturb ‘Til 06-06-25”, with Carter VI written beneath—a clear message that he has bigger things to focus on.
The Return of the Carter Series
Since Tha Carter series began in 2004, each installment has reflected Wayne’s evolution as an artist. The last album, Tha Carter V, arrived in 2018 after multiple delays, making this latest announcement particularly exciting for fans.
While Wayne has kept busy with projects like No Ceilings 3, Funeral, Trust Fund Babies, and Tha Fix Before tha VI, nothing quite compares to a Carter album—the place where he traditionally delivers his most focused and ambitious work.
Hip-Hop Awaits June 2025
With Tha Carter VI dropping in June 2025, Lil Wayne has once again proven that he knows how to control the conversation. Instead of dwelling on his Super Bowl snub, he turned it into a brilliant promotional moment, reminding everyone that even after decades in the game, he’s still a master of surprise.
