    Lil Wayne is returning to his favorite title with both a new album and extensive 2025 tour, which will include a stop at Dos Equis Pavilion in Dallas on Wednesday, September 17.

    Both the tour and album are named Tha Carter VI, the sixth in a series that nods to Lil Wayne's birth name, Dwayne Carter Jr.

    The rapper will play a special album release show in New York on June 6, with the main tour starting on July 30 in Bristow, Virginia.

    The tour is scheduled to run for just over two months, with additional Texas stops in Austin on September 16 and The Woodlands on September 18.

    With the tour, Lil Wayne is not only celebrating the release of his new album, but also paying tribute to the long series, which started in 2004 with the original Tha Carter.

    The tour will feature special guests Tyga and Belly Gang Kushington across all dates. NoCap will also be on hand for a variety of shows, including The Woodlands.

    For 26 years, Lil Wayne has remained one of the most popular artists in his genre. Each of his albums that was widely released has come in at either No. 1 or No. 2 on Billboard's R&B/Hip Hop chart, and all but one of them made the top 10 on the overall Billboard 200.

    Tickets for the tour will be available starting with artist presale beginning on Wednesday, June 4. Additional presales will run throughout the week ahead of the general on-sale beginning on Friday, June 6 at 10 am at LiveNation.com.

    Hits for a Good Cause

    CultureMap writer and Cowboys crush it for charity in home run derby

    CultureMap's Alex Bentley competed in the Media League part of the 2026 Reliant Home Run Derby.

    There was some friendly rivalry on and off the field at the 13th annual Reliant Home Run Derby at Riders Field in Frisco on May 14, where members of the Dallas Cowboys and a dozen local media members stepped up to the plate to raise money for North Texas charities.

    Before Cowboys fans showed up for the main event, the day kicked off with the 10th annual Reliant Media League, featuring 12 reporters from around Dallas-Fort Worth - including CultureMap's Alex Bentley - taking their hacks for a charity of their choice.

    On what was said to be one of the hottest days in the event's history, each media participant got 10 swings in the first of three rounds, earning $100 for every hit and $300 for every home run.

    Bentley, a first-time competitor, advanced to the second round with four others, and with a strong second-round performance - including a home run on his final swing - made the three-swing final round against WFAA reporter Sean Giggy.

    With Kristi Scales, sideline reporter for the Dallas Cowboys Radio Network, calling the action, Giggy narrowly edged Bentley by hitting two home runs compared to Bentley's two hits and one home run.

    Collectively, the media members raised $36,220 for local North Texas charities, including $4,335 by Giggy for his charity, Keeper of the Game, and $4,135 by Bentley for his charity, The Street Dog Project.

    The Street Dog Project is comprised of a small group of volunteers who, since 2016, have rescued hundreds of dogs from the streets and found them loving homes.

    Reached for comment, Bentley said: "For a 50-year-old man who hadn't touched a baseball bat in 16 years to even compete was amazing, but to be one of the finalists was beyond all my expectations. I'm very happy with my performance, but even happier that I was able to raise a lot of money for a good cause."

    Ten Cowboys players then took the field in front of hundreds of fans, trading in their pads for a bat for a chance at baseball glory.

    Participants included Bryan Anger, Brandon Aubrey, Jake Ferguson, DeMarvion Overshown, Dak Prescott, Luke Schoonmaker, Trent Sieg, Tyler Smith, Terence Steele, and Sam Williams.

    With each hit and home run earning a donation from Reliant, the teammates raised a total of $80,000 to benefit The Salvation Army of North Texas.

    Ferguson, the Cowboys tight end, was named the 2026 Reliant Home Run Derby Champion with $20,600 raised and 22 home runs.

    As the winner, Ferguson also received a $10,000 bonus from Reliant for his chosen charity, the National Medal of Honor Museum Foundation.
