Wayne played an integral role in developing both of his artists from understudies to full-blown superstars, both of whom have both dominated the industry for much of the decade.Īt one point earlier in the decade, Wayne and Nicki Minaj made for a deadly combination, sharing the stage on a number of lethal tracks.

One of Lil Wayne's greatest career achievements has been discovering and signing Drake and Nicki Minaj to his Young Money Entertainment imprint.

Those were later taken down because the album never came, as Wayne entered a long and tumultuous legal battle with Birdman and Cash Money. Back in 2014, as HotNewHipHop points out, various promo popped up in Weezy's hometown of New Orleans and Atlanta. This isn't the first time Tha Carter V billboards have appeared. Here’s the improbable path to an album Wayne once said would be his last.

All the while, Wayne has stayed busy with an absurd amount of mixtapes and guest appearances. In the meantime, actual shots were fired at Wayne’s tour bus, Young Thug nearly appropriated the Carter name, and-thanks to a bizarre plot twist involving “Pharma Bro” villain Martin Shkreli-The Carter V faced potential seizure by the U.S. The album was delayed time and time again by Cash Money, whose label head Birdman allegedly blocked Wayne from releasing it, sparking a three-year legal battle between the longtime confidants. It’s not really Wayne’s fault, of course. The seven-year wait for Tha Carter V feels extreme, even for someone who once released a series of mixtapes called Sorry 4 the Wait.
