When Lil Wayne finally announced the release date for Tha Carter V, he never actually said the exact day it would be dropping. He told fans in a video that it would be available on his birthday, then remarked that if you're not up to date on your Weezy trivia, you can just "Wiki" him. Well, Wikipedia enjoyed the free promotion. Wayne got a lot of people rushing over to their massive online encyclopedia to check out when exactly the artist was born, resulting in plenty of hits for them. They were happy enough with the shoutout that they decided to collaborate with Tunechi on the final drop of Carter V merchandise: an extravagant white long sleeve.

Weezy's merch has caused for a pretty eventful week. Each product was only available for 24 hours, giving fans a limited amount of time to cop some new goods. He collaborated with lesser-known brands and some buzzing designers, like Heron Preston and Nasaseasons, to unleash a pretty expansive collection. The latest Wikipedia collab is the last to arrive in the bunch and with its introduction, each of the other shirts has also been restocked. The products will only be available until the end of the day so as you're listening to C5, cop some merch to go along with it. You won't have another chance after this.
