Lil Wayne's ‘Tha Carter VI' album and tour mark a major return for the Hip Hop icon
Key Takeaways: Trending 13 BET Awards tribute performances that still give viewers chills 21 of the sexiest women alive, from Hip Hop to Hollywood 7 athletes whose style screams rap star energy Lil Wayne's new album, Tha Carter VI, blends multiple genres with features from Bono, Wyclef Jean and his own children. The 2025 'Carter VI Tour' spans 34 North American cities, kicking off with Weezy's first solo headlining show at Madison Square Garden. Despite skipping New Orleans, Wayne's team hints at a special Lil Weezyana Fest appearance to honor his hometown roots. After a seven-year wait, Lil Wayne has officially released Tha Carter VI, a 19-track project that both extends and redefines his legendary Carter series. The album arrived on Friday (June 6), the same day Wayne will take the stage at Madison Square Garden for his first-ever solo headlining performance at the iconic venue. Wayne's latest work blends old-school flair and forward-thinking experimentation. The album features an array of unexpected collaborators, including BigXthaPlug, Wyclef Jean, Andrea Bocelli, Kodak Black, 2 Chainz, MGK and two of Wayne's children. The project moves between trap, soul, rock, opera and gospel influences with confidence, reflecting a decades-long career marked by reinvention and range. 'This album is for the ones who've been riding with me through all Tha Carters. We takin' it further than ever before with this one,' Wayne said in a press release. 'C6 is here. I'm just bein' myself. Sorry for the wait.' Throughout Tha Carter VI, Lil Wayne leans into his status as a rap elder without losing the hunger that's kept him relevant. Standouts like 'Written History,' which closes the album with a powerful Muhammad Ali sample, and 'Bein Myself,' a collaboration with Mannie Fresh, reaffirm his lyrical sharpness and unshakable identity. Elsewhere, he showcases a willingness to evolve, pairing with U2's Bono and Jelly Roll on 'The Days' and 'Sharks,' respectively, or crossing into (familiar) rock territory on 'If I Played Guitar.' Wayne even reflects on his traumas, particularly on 'Maria,' where he raps about childhood abuse and his infamous self-inflicted gunshot wound at age 12. These moments provide rare glimpses behind the tattoos and shades. And despite the wide range of features, C6 remains centered on Wayne's voice, creativity and vulnerability. Much like the album, the 'Tha Carter VI Tour' looks to kick off with high energy (beginning with his aforementioned MSG show) and features over 30 dates across North America. Tyga, NoCap and Belly Gang Kushington will also provide support on select stops. Notably absent, however, is Wayne's hometown of New Orleans — something that's sparked social media speculation given his absence from the Super Bowl LIX Halftime Show. Still, fans in the Crescent City may not be left out for long. Wayne's team has teased 'something special' for the next Lil Weezyana Fest, hinting that a more personal celebration is on the horizon. In the meantime, fans can get their fix through Wayne's online store, which features Tha Carter VI merch, vinyl bundles and more.

Leclerc says will fight but 'cannot do miracles' for Ferrari
IMOLA, Italy: Charles Leclerc said he will fight as much as he can to win Sunday's Emilia Romagna Grand Prix in Ferrari's Italian heartland but warned he cannot perform miracles. Speaking after qualifying 11th on the grid, one place ahead of team-mate and seven-time world champion Lewis Hamilton, the Monegasque driver admitted that his car lacked pace and potential. While Oscar Piastri maintained his consistent demonstration of speed by claiming his third pole of the year ahead of four-time champion Max Verstappen of Red Bull, the Ferraris laboured and were pushed out of the top ten by both Aston Martins. "You can always do more with a lap and improve a few things," said Leclerc. "But we are just P-nowhere. There's not enough performance in the car and I keep repeating myself. "There's not the potential that I would hope for in the car at the moment and we need to be better." Leclerc claimed Ferrari's sole podium earlier this year but has been unable to sustain a challenge while Hamilton, the team's marquee signing, has failed to adapt and shine. Leclerc said Ferrari had discussed following the example of Aston Martin and swapping the unpredictable new 'super-soft' C6 tyres supplied by Pirelli, for the 'mediums', but rejected that idea. "We discussed it, but it wasn't on the cards for us and not something we considered seriously. Congrats to Aston Martin - they are doing good lap times and even with the C6 they were fast." Looking ahead, he said: "I can fight as much as I want, but I cannot do miracles. This is what there is in the car and I am trying to extract the maximum from it." Both Leclerc and Hamilton will start from the sixth row on Sunday. "It's a tough one," said a philosophical Hamilton. "Ultimately, I feel super gutted and I'm devastated that we weren't able to get through. I feel like we made so many positive steps and the car is generally feeling better, the brakes are better and the balance is nice. "But where we put the new tyres on in Q2, for some reason, it just didn't have any grip and I couldn't go any faster.

The new Flying Flea is the new sub-brand for Royal Enfield's electric motorcycle vertical with the maiden e-bike called C6 Notify me Royal Enfield has confirmed that they will be launching their first electric motorcycle - Flying Flea C6 in the Q4 of FY2026, that is between January to March next year. The S6 will be added to the lineup soon after the launch of the C6. All new electric motorcycles will be sold under the Flying Flea brand. As of now, Royal Enfield has not decided whether the new electric vehicles will share its touchpoints with the current dealership network or whether there will be new dealerships opened only for the Flying Flea brand. Upcoming bikes The company currently has a dedicated team of over 200 people who are working on the Flying Flea project. They have already filed 45 patents for it and currently, the electric motorcycle is undergoing several tests. Currently, the plan for Flying Flea is to launch electric motorcycles that are focused towards urban mobility so they will primarily be used for city duties and they will be lightweight. The Flying Flea C6 is built on an aluminium forged frame with a design inspired by the original Flying Flea motorcycles of the 1940s. The girder forks have been reintroduced in a modernised avatar specifically for the FF-C6 Royal Enfield achieved a significant milestone by surpassing 1 million annual sales for the first time, with total volumes reaching 10,02,893 units, reflecting a 10 per cent year-over-year increase. Domestic sales rose by 8.1 per cent to 9,02,757 units, while international sales experienced a remarkable growth of 29.7 per cent, resulting in 1,00,136 motorcycles being exported. The main Vehicle Control Unit (VCU) of the Flying Flea C6 has been fully developed in-house, integrating all physical and digital interfaces of the motorcycle. The manufacturer has previously stated that the VCU will improve both the motor's performance and the overall riding experience by implementing 'subtle' adjustments to the throttle, braking, and regenerative feedback. Most of these controls will be accessible via a mobile application.

Royal Enfield has not revealed the performance figures of Flying Flea C6 electric motorcycle. However, expect it to promise decent range on a single charge, but that would be apt for city commuting, not for highway riding. Also, expect this bike to be priced at a hefty amount being a premium EV. Flying Flea C6: Riding modes The Flying Flea features five preset riding modes, providing riders with multiple options to choose from. Furthermore, riders can tailor the combinations of these modes to suit their individual requirements and the terrain they are traversing. The built-in chipset also improves functionality by allowing the system to recognize and use a mobile phone as a smart key for unlocking and starting the vehicle.
