Lil Wayne has partnered with Mitchell & Ness to launch a limited-edition merch line that blends his loyalty to the Green Bay Packers with the upcoming release of Tha Carter VI. The drop includes tees, hoodies, and a custom Packers-inspired jersey. Wayne described the collection as a tribute to “legacy, loyalty and a little bit of luxury.”
The release follows his reveal of Tha Carter VI cover art, which nods to earlier installments of the series by showing a smiling baby Wayne with his signature tattoos. The cover was unveiled on April 22 alongside new album merch, including vinyls, autographed CDs, and apparel. The album arrives June 6.
In a new Rolling Stone feature, Wayne confirmed a broad mix of guests for the album, including Miley Cyrus, U2’s Bono, Andrea Bocelli, Machine Gun Kelly, Elephant Man, and his teenage son Kameron. Wyclef Jean is among the producers, joined by Wheezy and possibly Kanye West.
Wyclef is also leading an informal supergroup with Wayne called The Gumbo, which features Jon Batiste, Ledisi, Trombone Shorty, and PJ Morton. Wayne said the collaborations pushed him to experiment more: “What would I sound like on something with such and such?”
