Weezy Season Is Here: Lil Wayne Drops Tour Ahead of His June 6 Album Release

Weezy F. Baby is back. And yes, the F still stands for “finally.”

Lil Tunechi just made it official — tour dates locked and loaded ahead of one of the most anticipated albums in the game: Tha Carter VI, dropping June 6.

And let’s be clear — this isn’t just another roll-out. This is hip-hop royalty re-entering the arena to remind folks who really changed the culture.

And if you're from Detroit? Go ahead and circle August 23 with a fat red Sharpie. Because Wayne is pulling up to Little Caesars Arena.

If you’ve ever seen him live, you already know — it’s not a concert; it’s a sermon with AutoTune and lighter flicks.

Let’s be real for a second: Wayne is Top 5 dead or alive, and it isn’t just barbershop talk.

I’ll put him at No. 4 on my list, no debate — right behind Biggie, Hov, and ‘Pac.

After that?

It’s Nas, Drake, or Em. Pick your poison. But what Wayne did to the game? That can’t be duplicated.

Let’s run the numbers for those who forgot:

• Solo career jumped off in 1999 with Tha Block Is Hot— platinum status out the gate.

• The Carter series? Legendary. Carter III did over a million in a week— and that was in the CD era, bruh.

• 5 Grammys.

• 25 million albums sold.

• 90 million digital tracks moved.

• More Billboard Hot 100 entries than Elvis Presley. That’s not just rap — that’s music history.

But Wayne’s impact goes way deeper than plaques and sales.

Let’s talk cultural dominance.

He redefined the mixtape game. Before streaming? Before digital? Wayne was bodying industry beats and dropping free heat like Dedication 2, Da Drought 3, and No Ceilings.

He wasn’t just rapping — he was assassinating verses, leaving originals sounding like demos.

Wayne made it cool to be a studio rat. To flood the market. To treat mixtapes like albums.

He had the whole industry playing catch-up.

And then came Young Money.

Drake? Nicki? Tyga? All came through Wayne’s house. That label birthed stars who crossed over and still dominate radio, festivals, and playlists.

Wayne isn't just an artist — he’s a visionary, a mogul, and a father of modern rap.

Oh, and don’t sleep on the lingo. “Bling bling”? That came from Wayne, not TikTok. “Drop it like it’s hot”? Wayne again. He got bars in the Oxford Dictionary, fam.

And while we're at it:

• He’s a Guinness World Record holder.

• He’s been rapping at an elite level for over two decades.

• He dropped 13 albums and is still climbing charts.

• He’s probably your favorite rapper’s favorite rapper.

And now, Tha Carter VI is on the way.

This isn’t just an album. It’s another chapter in the gospel according to Weezy.

Every time he drops, it shifts something. You hear the hunger. The evolution. The same kid from Hollygrove still snapping like he has something to prove — and somehow, still sounding better than half the game.

So yeah. Lil Wayne going on tour is a moment.

But a new Carter album? That’s a movement.
