I still say what I want to say-it just sounds better and makes more sense. In May 2014, when asked about Tha Carter V, Lil Wayne said the album is all about 'growth' and that his music is 'supposed to be personal': Whenever I have to pitch in for a Young Money album, a Like Father, Like Son album and something like that and maybe something out the blue, but the way I'm working on this album, it's to me, the way it seems like now, it seems like it'll be impossible for me to work this hard again for anything else. I didn't smile when I said it.I plan on it being my final solo album. I personally plan on this being my final solo album, yes, and it's definitely the final Carter album. In April 2014, Wayne addressed his Carter V release: In November 2012, Lil Wayne announced Tha Carter V would be his final album he previously stated he would retire at the age of 35 he explained that he had four kids and he 'would feel selfish still going to the studio when it's such a vital point in their lives'. Ī deluxe edition was released on September 25, 2020, to celebrate the album's two-year anniversary it consists of songs that did not make the original album. On September 13, 2019, 20 songs from the original version of Tha Carter V were leaked online, containing many unreleased tracks compared to the official version of Carter V that was released in 2018. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 with the second-largest streaming week for an album of all time and with 480,000 units sold.

Following a lengthy legal battle, Lil Wayne was confirmed to have been released from his contract with Cash Money in June 2018 and announced the release of the album in September. Originally planned to be released in 2014, Tha Carter V experienced several delays as a result of contractual disputes between Lil Wayne and Cash Money Records, as well as his numerous personal disputes with label-head, Birdman. The album's features include Swizz Beatz, Kendrick Lamar, Sosamann, Lil Wayne's daughter Reginae Carter, Snoop Dogg, Nicki Minaj, Ashanti, Mack Maine, Travis Scott, Nivea and the late XXXTentacion.
