Lil Wayne continues to drop new music less than a week after he released latest album Tha Carter VI.
Fresh off of unveiling a “Banned from NO” remix with Nicki Minaj, Weezy has dropped a new collaboration with Future and Lil Baby entitled “Momma Don’t Worry”.
It is not clear why the song did not make the released version of the album or if the track is going to be featured on a future deluxe edition given fan reception to the drop has been positive.
Just yesterday, Weezy dropped a remix of “Banned from NO” with Minaj that saw the Trinidad born superstar take aim at both the NFL and Shannon Sharpe.
On the track, she raps: “If I send a pic of Shannon you ain’t that Sharpe / Cause you still can’t spell Prague and that’s horrible.”

She also called out the NFL for not selecting Wayne to perform the halftime show at this year’s Super Bowl in Weezy’s home town of New Orleans.
Minaj spat: “NFL, fire some n-ggas and then call us.”
The “Anaconda” rapper has been one of the most vocal critics of the NFL’s decision to overlook Wayne in favor of Kendrick Lamar.
Tha Carter VI has received a lukewarm reception since it was released last week, something that has been reflected in its projected first week sales numbers.

The album is currently on course to sell 110,000 equivalent units in its first week on sale.
35,000 of that number is made up of actual sales.
If projections hold, Tha Carter VI will debut at number two on the Billboard 200 with country star Morgan Wallen holding on to the top spot.

In comparison, Wayne’s last solo album, Funeral, debuted at number one and sold 139,000 equivalent units in its first week of release.
It is also a significant drop off from Tha Carter V‘s opening week sales of 480,000 in 2018.
Tha Carter VI was perhaps most notable for its eclectic features which includes U2 lead singer, Bono.
The two link up on the anthemic “The Days” which was previously debuted during a promo for the NBA Finals.

On the track, Wayne references his status as an elder statesman in Hip Hop, rapping: “I ain’t getting younger, but I’m getting better / No time to waste that’s another man’s treasure / They say every dog has hit day.”
