Lil Wayne Announces Carter V Release Date

The Lil Wayne has announced the release date for his forthcoming album Carter V, and that it will be no other time than on his birthday. 

It was previously expected that the album will drop last week Friday, but that was later realised to be wrong, as an update on social media by retired boxer Floyd Mayweather who posted a supposed cover for the album with the caption "[🐐] #21", was mistaken for a tease of Wayne's album release date. 

However, In a clip Wayne posted on his Instagram account, after addressing issues with misinformation caused by social media, he announced the date saying, "I will be releasing Tha Carter V on my birthday." 

In less than 24 hours, the Lollipop rapper will turn 36 on Sept. 27 and will be celebrating the day with his album release.
