The Grammy-winning rapper made the announcement in a candid video shared online, where he discussed several issues surrounding his tour, including his relationship status, recent health challenges, and why he missed the opening date of the highly anticipated concert series.

During the video, Lil Wayne revealed that his relationship with Madi Cannon had come to an end.
Although he spoke warmly about their time together, he explained that he made the difficult decision to walk away because he felt he was becoming a burden to her.
According to the rapper, their relationship was filled with love and mutual respect.
“We had a beautiful thing going,” Wayne said.
However, he added that he chose to end the relationship because he did not want to become “such a burden on such an amazing person.”
While he did not go into further details about what led to the split, his remarks suggested the decision was made out of concern rather than conflict.
For months, fans had speculated that the rapper and the 23-year-old influencer were engaged after reports surfaced online earlier this year.
Those rumours intensified in May 2026, with several entertainment blogs claiming wedding plans were already underway.
Wayne, however, dismissed the speculation completely.
He clarified that despite widespread reports, he and Cannon were never engaged, putting an end to months of online rumours.
His statement marks the first time he has publicly addressed the engagement claims.
Beyond discussing his personal life, Lil Wayne also opened up about the health issues that affected the beginning of his anniversary tour.
The rapper explained that severe migraines prevented him from performing at the opening concert in Maine.
According to Lil Wayne, doctors were also concerned that performing under those conditions could increase his risk of suffering seizures.
The health scare forced him to cancel the scheduled performance, disappointing many fans who had been eagerly awaiting the concert.
Fortunately, Wayne has since recovered sufficiently to resume the tour.
Although the rapper has returned to the stage, not everything has gone smoothly.
Some concertgoers recently voiced frustration after Wayne reportedly arrived late for his performance in New Hampshire.
Despite the delays, many fans have continued to support the rapper after learning about the health challenges he has been battling behind the scenes.
His honesty about his condition has earned praise from supporters who appreciate his willingness to prioritise his health.
Lil Wayne also reassured fans that the cancelled opening performance has not been forgotten.
The postponed concert in Maine has now been rescheduled for July 28, allowing fans who missed the original date another opportunity to attend.
His next scheduled stop on the tour is set for Des Moines, Iowa, on July 16, where thousands of fans are expected to celebrate two decades of his legendary Tha Carter music catalogue.
The “20 Years of Carter Classics” tour celebrates one of the most influential rap series in hip-hop history.
The tour features performances of songs spanning Wayne’s acclaimed Tha Carter albums, which helped establish him as one of the greatest rappers of his generation.
Fans attending the concerts have been treated to performances of some of his biggest hits alongside stories reflecting on his remarkable career.
Following his announcement, fans flooded social media with messages of encouragement.
Many praised Wayne for speaking honestly about both his relationship and his health, while others wished him well as he continues the tour.
Although the breakup with Madi Cannon marks the end of a chapter in his personal life, the rapper remains focused on his music and giving fans memorable performances throughout the anniversary tour.
With more tour dates still ahead, supporters will be hoping Lil Wayne remains healthy as he continues celebrating two decades of one of hip-hop’s most successful album franchises.
