Lil Wayne just flipped the script with his new Cetaphil lotion ad, and it’s got the internet buzzing. In a wild twist, the commercial doubles as a sneaky drop for his Carter VI album, and it’s straight up hilarious. Weezy’s playing hero in a bunch of awkward situations—like when a woman tries to kiss a dude on the Jumbotron at a game, and he curves her hard. Just when things look messy, Lil Wayne slides in outta nowhere with some Cetaphil, saving the moment and giving it that smooth touch, literally.

The ad isn’t just funny, though—it’s a clever way for Wayne to let us know Carter VI is on the way. At the end of the spot, you get hit with a “Do Not Disturb ‘Til 06-06-25” sign on a door, and boom, the album’s dropping June 6th, 2025.

While we won’t get Wayne performing at the Super Bowl this year, we do get something way more exciting: new music. Fans have been waiting for Carter VI for a minute, and this ad is a dope, unexpected way to build the hype. Wayne’s out here turning a simple lotion commercial into a whole event, making sure we’re all counting down the days ‘til the album drops.
