Lil Wayne might not be hitting the stage at Super Bowl LIX, but he’s still making a major play during the big game. Instead of performing at halftime, the rap icon is taking center stage in a Cetaphil commercial… and he’s using the moment to finally unveil the release date for his highly anticipated album, Tha Carter VI.
Premiering just days before the Super Bowl on Thursday, February 6, the ad humorously sees Weezy reacting to being overlooked for the halftime show. Instead of dwelling on the snub, he shifts gears and fully embraces his role as the new face of Cetaphil, poking fun at “dry” and “sensitive” situations… subtly hinting at his own disappointment while promoting the skincare brand.
But the biggest takeaway? The ad is packed with Easter eggs leading up to Tha Carter VI’s official drop. Throughout the commercial, the numbers 6/6/25 repeatedly appear, teasing fans with the long-awaited release date.
The final scene delivers the ultimate mic-drop moment: Lil Wayne, standing in front of a sign that reads, “DO NOT DISTURB ‘TIL 06-06-2025” with a handwritten CARTER VI scribbled below.
While Wayne may not be rocking the Super Bowl halftime stage, he’s making sure his presence is felt in the most unexpected way… cementing his legendary status with a bold, unforgettable rollout.
