'Carter V' Hasn't Dropped & Lil Wayne Wants People To Stop Blaming Him

Don't blame Weezy for another Carter V delay.

According to TMZ, the highly anticipated album was not even scheduled to drop on Friday (September 21). A source told the site, that "the hype surrounding September 21 as the release date for Carter V was all generated by pure speculation," because Lil Wayne never once confirmed the album's release date. 

As previously reported, Wayne sent his fans into hysterics when Young Money released the cover art for Carter V earlier this month.  "🖐 Put them 5s up ‼️‼️‼️" the record label's official Twitter account captioned a photo of Wayne's palm with words "The World" written upside down on it. To note, the post made no mention of a release date, however, many outlets reported that September 21 would be the day of its release. 

The hype around the date seemed to spark after Floyd Mayweather posted the album cover on his Instagram and captioned it "[Goat emoji] #21." The 21 seemed to lead people to believe that the album would drop at midnight on the 21st. So, when it didn't, fans were quite disappointed. 

Check out some reactions below:

Fans excitement is no doubt due to the album being seven years in the making. It was held a number of times by Wayne's record label over the years. However, in February, Birdman promised fans that they would get the album before the end of 2018. “We’ll get that this year,” he told Rap-Up. “I’m guaranteeing you gon’ get it this year.”

Guess we'll have to wait and see (like always).
