Lil Wayne Reveals Engagement to Madi Cannon in Message to Hot Boys Groupmate B.G.
Lil Wayne has announced his engagement to Madi Cannon in a video clip shared on social media by fellow Hot Boys member B.G. The announcement follows a summer of mixed reports surrounding the couple's relationship status and comes alongside updates on Wayne's ongoing tour.
Hip-hop icon Lil Wayne has announced his engagement to Madi Cannon, sharing the news in a personal video message delivered to his longtime Hot Boys groupmate B.G., according to reporting by Vibe. The clip, which B.G. uploaded to Instagram on Monday, Sept. 28, captures the Young Money leader congratulating B.G. on his recent engagement before introducing Cannon as his fiancée and confirming his intentions to marry her.
In the video message shared publicly by B.G., Lil Wayne expressed enthusiasm for his groupmate's upcoming marriage to Brooke Jones while gushing over his own relationship with Cannon. "I’m marrying this one," Lil Wayne said in the clip, formally introducing Cannon to viewers as "Madison" and his fiancée. Cannon appeared alongside him in the video, waving to the camera and extending her own congratulations to B.G. and Jones. Lil Wayne also joked about his place in B.G.'s upcoming ceremony, declaring himself the best man and asking what color suit he should wear.
The announcement follows a winding series of public developments regarding the couple's status throughout the year, as detailed by Vibe. Initial reports that Lil Wayne and Cannon were engaged first emerged in May, gaining traction in June when the pair appeared together in several photographs, including an upload alongside sports commentator Skip Bayless. However, Lil Wayne appeared to walk back those rumors in July when he posted a public statement clarifying that he was single. At the time, the rapper stated that he had parted ways with an amazing person because he did not want to be a burden given the pressures of contemporary culture.
Meanwhile, B.G.'s romantic journey reached its own milestone earlier in the month when he proposed to Brooke Jones onstage during the Cash Money & No Limit Tour in New Orleans, according to Vibe. B.G. posted the video from Lil Wayne on social media with a caption noting that his fellow New Orleans artist had given his blessing to the union.
Beyond his personal life, Lil Wayne used the video message to clarify a recent absence from his 20 Years of Carter Classics Tour. Vibe reported that the artist addressed missing a scheduled performance in Maine, explaining that he suffered a severe migraine that night. Because migraines can act as a trigger for his epilepsy and seizures, medical advisers recommended he refrain from air travel. Lil Wayne later fulfilled his obligation to fans by performing a rescheduled concert in Bangor in late July. According to Vibe, his tour is set to continue through February 2027 with remaining stops in West Virginia, Texas, Tennessee, South Carolina, Kentucky, and Pennsylvania.
