Lil Wayne is making major moves, and he’s doing it in true Weezy fashion. This week, he’s not only blessing fans with a remix of Gelo’s viral hit “Tweaker”, but he also found a creative way to confirm that Tha Carter VI is dropping on June 6, 2025—and he did it through a Cetaphil commercial airing during Super Bowl weekend. Let’s break it all down.
Gelo & Lil Wayne: “Tweaker” Remix Drops at Midnight
For those who don’t know, Gelo (aka LiAngelo Ball)—yes, LaMelo and Lonzo’s brother—has transitioned from basketball to hip-hop stardom, landing a major Def Jam deal after his track “Tweaker” exploded online. The song’s New Orleans bounce and post-Y2K influence caught the attention of Lil Wayne, who decided to jump on the remix.
Gelo told Billboard that working with Wayne was “like hoopin’ with Jordan.” That’s a GOAT-level co-sign if we’ve ever heard one. The “Tweaker” remix drops tonight at midnight, and fans are already calling it an instant classic.
Wayne’s Super Bowl Ad = Tha Carter VI Confirmed
While Wayne wanted to perform at the Super Bowl halftime show in his hometown of New Orleans, the honor went to Kendrick Lamar instead. Wayne admitted it “hurt a lot”—but instead of sulking, he flipped it into marketing gold.
In a new commercial for Cetaphil, Wayne acts out the moment he learned he wouldn’t be performing, then leans into the ad’s theme of “dry” and “sensitive” situations—because, you know, Cetaphil is for sensitive skin. 🧴😂
But here’s where it gets interesting: Throughout the ad, the date 6/6/25 keeps appearing—on signs, in the background, everywhere. And at the end? A “DO NOT DISTURB ‘TIL 06-06-2025” sign with CARTER VI handwritten underneath.
Wayne just confirmed his new album in a lotion commercial. Iconic.

KMOB1003’s Take: Wayne’s Marketing Genius
Wayne took disappointment (missing the Super Bowl stage) and turned it into a power move. Instead of competing for halftime attention, he made sure his name would be trending without even performing. The Cetaphil ad was both hilarious and one of the most unique album rollout moments in recent memory.
Meanwhile, teaming up with Gelo for “Tweaker” shows that Wayne still has his ear to the streets. The man is not slowing down. Between the remix and Carter VI, 2025 is looking like another legendary year for Weezy.
So what do y’all think? Is this the best album teaser we’ve ever seen? And are you hyped for Tha Carter VI? Let us know in the comments!
