Last album of Lil Wayne Carter has been delayed and divided into two volumes. Announcing that Tha Carter V would not be released as previously promised October 28, explains the problem is that it has too many songs.

"I know that the album would be today ... but we had to push the puck back due to a problem," Wayne said in a YouTube "public service announcement". "I have too many songs recorded and worked on it too much, too, to give you all only half of it."


At the moment, Tha Carter V is at least 31 songs long. "If I dropped the album that today would be [cut] like 12 or 13 songs," said Wayne. "And I refuse to do it. I refuse to deceive my fans. I refuse to deceive myself."

Instead, the fifth volume of the Carter series itself is divided into two volumes. The first part is due on December 9; its first single, Gotti, fell yesterday. "Stay tuned for the next part," he said. "It's going to be crazy ... You'll love it. Because I fucking love it and if not cursed love, then you do not love love".

Tha Carter V originally due in 2013, two years after the previous volume. "I personally plan on this being my final solo album and definitely Carter's latest album," declared the following year - although "25-35000000 [dollars] would get to do another solo album after this." Since then, Wayne often complained of excess material. "Will O Tha Carter songs or 93 V is going to have to figure this out," he said in June.

Latest release of important Wayne, Tha Carter IV, reached # 8 on the UK charts. The 32-year-old has sold over 15 million albums in the US and recently appeared on hit singles Busta Rhymes, Chris Brown and Nicki Minaj.
