After rumors this month of Lil Wayne‘s Tha Carter IV album being pushed back from May 16th to June, it looks like they are true after all. Mack Maine has confirmed to XXL the new date for the album will be now June 21st.

Young Money president, Mack Maine, informed XXL that Weezy’s follow up to 2008’s multi-platinum selling Carter III LP will be hitting shelves on June 21. We also confirmed that the graduation photo of a pre-teenage Wayne, sporting his signature facial tattoos that leaked online earlier this week, as well, is the official cover art to the disc.

Lil Wayne has been confirmed as one of the main performers at the 2011 Bonnaroo Music & Arts Festival that will take place in Manchester, Tennessee from June 9 – 12, 2011.

While speculation about a Hot Boys reunion continues to rise with Juvenile saying last that he is unsure of the reunion happening, Juvie recently spoke with SOHH to confirm the group are getting back together:

“I like this question, I like this question,” Juvie admitted. “I’ve been talking to Baby, man. I’ve talked to Baby, he’s real behind doing the Hot Boys album thing. He done came at me three times but the whole thing was and I wanna be truthful to everybody, it was me and him talking. Me and Wayne was cool. Me and B.G. was cool, all of us was cool but I really had to talk to Baby. We had to put everything out on the table and settle our differences and that was something we’d never done. And I can honestly say it’s been done now so y’all can definitely be looking forward to that album. It’s coming. It’s confirmed [laughs] I got a check already. I always say that when people ask like, ‘Man, they already paid me on the Hot Boys album,’ so you know, with me, I’m already in. It’s just a matter of everybody else being in. I don’t think it would be right if we left Mannie Fresh out. Don’t you think? He was the producer, he did all the music for Hot Boys, so we gotta have him involved, if he don’t do the whole album [then] he gotta do something on there.”

Finally this has been confirmed, and Birdman announced on his UStream earlier announced that the Hot Boys reunion album will drop next year.

Not sure if I believe that just now, but it’s still something to look forward to! You can view the video of the interview after the jump:

The rumor we posted earlier is true! This Friday, a Drake record featuring Lil Wayne, Kanye West and Eminem will hit iTunes and the net. The song is called “Forever” and it will be on the More Than A Game soundtrack (I know a lot people where saying this will be on Carter IV, Thank Me Later or Relapse 2). It was produced by Boi Wonder and according to Mack Maine: “The record was mastered this past weekend and honestly it sounds better than ever”.

We also posted this yesterday:

The Young Money single titled “Girl You Know” is supposedly dropping this week and on the record is Lil Wayne, Drake, Jae Millz, Gudda Gudda and Tyga. Omarion was going to be on the track, but I am not sure if he still is after what has happened. They are shooting their parts for the video tomorrow.

Well, this video shoot has been pushed back to sometime next week, but don’t forget that Drizzy and Weezy are shooting a music video for “I’m Goin’ In” on Thursday. Last night, Birdman announced on UStream that they him, Drake and Lil Wayne will be shooting a music video for “Money To Blow” too.

Oh and be on the lookout for a Wayne and Jay Rock song dropping this or next week
