During the clip, recorded to congratulate B.G. on his recent engagement to Brooke Jones, the 43-year-old artist declared himself the best man for the upcoming wedding. He then introduced the 23-year-old Cannon as his fiancée. This signaled that the two had safely reunited after navigating a high-profile split earlier in the year.
A Public Turnaround After a Brief Split
The engagement confirmation arrives approximately three months after Lil Wayne publicly denied engagement rumors during a July 6 livestream. At the time, the five-time Grammy winner stated that he and Cannon had parted ways to shield her from the heavy public scrutiny surrounding his celebrity lifestyle.
"No, I am not engaged. I had a beautiful thing going with an amazing person," Wayne shared during the July broadcast. "But, obviously, due to the validity of the temperature of today’s crazy world and culture, I considered I don’t want to be such a burden on such an amazing person. So, we decided to part."
Whispers of a quiet engagement first surfaced in late May when media outlets reported that the rapper had proposed to an Indiana native in her 20s. Subsequent social media photos posted by Cannon and sports pundit Skip Bayless further fueled rumors before the brief summer breakup announcement.
Wedding Plans and Hot Boys Reunion
The newly reaffirmed couple appeared side-by-side in the congratulatory video sent to B.G., who recently proposed to Brooke Jones onstage during a Cash Money & No Limit Tour stop in New Orleans.
Expressing excitement for his groupmate’s nuptials, Lil Wayne claimed his stake in the wedding party. "Let us know what color we’re wearing. I’m the best man, you heard me," he joked in the clip, while Cannon flashed a smile and waved to the camera.
Lil Wayne continues his extensive ’20 Years of Carter Classics Tour,’ which runs through February 2027. Fans can now expect wedding bells on the horizon for both Weezy and his longtime Hot Boys collaborator.
