For the 10-year anniversary of Tha Carter IV, Lil Wayne has teamed up with The Topps Company to release a special trading card product set celebrating his ninth studio album.

If you wish to purchase the product (see examples down below), you can do so now for $19.99 from the official Topps website here before they will expire later this month on September 30th.

According to Wayne, he is the very first rapper with a trading card pack. He also says his top fans on Spotify will be receiving a special delivery of them! Have you, or are you going to order a pack?

On November 30th, Lil Wayne made an in-store appearance at Dillard’s Inc. store at Jefferson Mall in Louisville, Kentucky to promote his TRUKFIT clothing line and to personally thank his fans that have been purchasing his apparel. Wayne was originally supposed to make an appearance at the store on October 27th, but he had to reschedule after suffering from two seizures in the air.

Two people who are regular visitors of LilWayneHQ.com got the chance to meet Weezy F Baby at this event after spending $500 on TRUKFIT clothes – Jimmy Mays and Summer Wortham. They both took some pictures with Tune and also received a signed pair of TRUKFIT Beats By Dre headphones from him to say a thank you for supporting his clothing brand.

After the Dillard’s event, Jimmy attended a dinner with Lil Wayne‘s manager and best friend Cortez Bryant at Maker’s Mark. During the meal, he mentioned to Cortez about this site and asked him if he and Weezy know about it. Tez said they do know about it and left me a message saying: “Luv! Keep doing your thing” – so I’m extremely delighted about that!

The new date for Lil Wayne‘s in-store appearance at Dillard’s Inc. store at Jefferson Mall in Louisville, Kentucky is on Friday, November 30th. I previously reported that Weezy F Baby would be making an appearance at the Jefferson Mall Dillard’s store (just like he did with Macy’s) on October 27th, but that had to be rescheduled due to Wayne suffering from two seizures on his private jet in the space of 24 hours.

This means that all of those 300 people who spent $150 or more on TRUKFIT apparel from one of Louisville’s Dillard’s stores (Jefferson Mall, Mall St. Matthews, or Green Tree Mall) will still get to attend a VIP party at the store on November 30th. Also, the 10 customers that purchased over $500 worth of TRUKFIT clothes will still get to meet Tunechi and receive a special limited edition gift!

Thanks to Jimmy for sending over an email confirming this new date – November 30th.

Just like with Macy’s, Lil Wayne will be making an in-store appearance at Dillard’s Inc. store at Jefferson Mall in Louisville, Kentucky on October 27th to launch and promote his new clothing brand – TRUKFIT. This means that TRUKFIT apparel will be now be sold at Dillard’s stores across the US, as well as from their online website starting on October 25th.

The first 300 customers to spend $150 or more on TRUKFIT clothes at one of Louisville’s Dillard’s stores (Jefferson Mall, Mall St. Matthews or Green Tree Mall) will get given a free wristband that allows them access to a VIP party at the Jefferson Mall Dillard’s store on October 27th. The first 10 shoppers to purchase $500 or more on TRUKFIT apparel will also get the chance to meet Weezy and receive a special limited edition TRUKFIT gift!
