Lil Wayne's I Am Not A Human Being II album is coming out... eventually. The follow up to his 2010 gold selling album has been pushed back to a not yet revealed 2013 date according to Billboard.
The project was originally scheduled to drop in November. That date was moved to December 11th, which would have put him right in line for Christmas shoppers. Now that date has been cancelled.
No reason was given for the latest push back. Hopefully it's not health related. The Young Money boss suffered two seizures recently and was unable to appear in court this week to testify in his lawsuit against Quincy Jones III.
He was suing QDII for making what he claimed was an unauthorized biography of him.
Weezy lost both his case and the countersuit QDIII filed against him and was ordered to pay the film producer $2,195,000.
