Lil Wayne—five-time GRAMMY® winner, founder of Young Money Entertainment, and cultural icon—has continually reshaped the sound and scope of hip-hop over the past two decades. With over 100 million records sold worldwide, including 25 million albums and 90 million digital tracks in the U.S. alone, he stands among the best-selling artists of all time. In 2022, he received his first Diamond certification from the RIAA for “Lollipop” featuring Static Major.

His Tha Carter series has become one of hip-hop’s most acclaimed discographies, with Tha Carter III and Tha Carter IV both earning multi-platinum status and critical acclaim.
Tha Carter V, released in 2018, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and boasted the second-largest streaming week for an album ever at the time. Every track charted on the Billboard Hot 100. Now, with Tha Carter VI on the horizon, Lil Wayne is ready to add a new chapter to his storied legacy—this time, live from the Garden.
