The Top Lil Wayne Collectibles
Lil Wayne is back—and bigger than ever. With a brand-new album, Tha Carter VI, dropping June 6th and a tour that’s set to electrify fans across the country, there’s never been a better time to celebrate one of hip-hop’s most influential voices.
Known for his signature blend of Southern swagger and lyrical firepower, the Louisiana-born rapper has spent nearly three decades at the top of the rap game. From his early days with the Hot Boys to chart-topping solo albums like Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV, Wayne has earned Grammy Awards, platinum plaques, and a place among rap’s greatest.
The new album is loaded with big names—Nicki Minaj, Drake, MGK, Miley Cyrus, Young Thug, Andrea Bocelli, and even Wayne’s own son, Kameron Carter, all make appearances. And that’s not all—Elephant Man, Wyclef Jean, Bono, and Kanye West also show up, making this one of Wayne’s most eclectic projects yet.
Weezy will be hitting the road with Tyga, Belly Gang Kushington, and NoCap, so get ready for a tour that’s just as stacked as the album. Let’s take a look at some of the most iconic—and valuable—Lil Wayne collectibles to add to your collection:
