Months after publicly denying engagement reports and confirming a breakup, Lil Wayne has surprised fans by introducing Madi Cannon as his fiancée. The unexpected announcement came to light on September 28, during a video message recorded to congratulate fellow Hot Boys member B.G. on his own recent engagement.
The Surprise Engagement Reveal During B.G.’s Celebration
The relationship update surfaced while Lil Wayne was sending a congratulatory video to B.G., who recently proposed to his girlfriend, Brooke Jones, onstage during a Cash Money & No Limit Tour stop at the Smoothie King Center in New Orleans. In the clip shared online, Wayne volunteered himself to serve as best man for B.G.’s upcoming wedding before turning the camera’s focus.
“Congratulations, and I’m marrying this one. This is Madison. This is my fiancée,” Wayne stated in the video, officially confirming that he and Cannon had reconciled. B.G. happily shared the interaction on Instagram, captioning the post, “My lil Brodie gave me his blessings @liltunechi.”
A Dramatic Turnaround From July Denial
The public declaration marks a complete reversal from Lil Wayne’s previous statements regarding his romantic life. In late May, reports emerged that the 43-year-old rapper had quietly gotten engaged to Madi Cannon, a 23-year-old social media influencer and native of Kokomo, Indiana.
However, on July 6, Wayne took to an Instagram livestream to address the heavy speculation directly. He denied that an engagement ever existed and stated that he and Cannon had parted ways. At the time, he explained that he did not want to be a burden to such an amazing person, leading to their mutual decision to separate.
