According to Complex, Madi Cannon, also known as Madi K, had been linked romantically with Wayne before engagement reports surfacedearlier this year.

Lil Wayne And Madi Cannon’s Relationship Took An Unexpected Turn

The latest announcement is particularly surprising because Wayne had publicly denied being engaged in July. During a livestream, he said, “No, I’m not engaged,” while confirming that he and an unnamed woman he described as an “amazing person” had decided to part ways. Complex reported that the comments came after months of speculation surrounding his relationship with Cannon. Wayne said at the time that he did not want to be “such a burden” on her and that they had decided to separate. His latest appearance suggests that the pair have since reconciled, although neither has publicly detailed when they got back together.

Lil Wayne's Previous Marriage With Toya Johnson

Cannon would not be Wayne’s first wife if the engagement leads to marriage. The rapper, whose real name is Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., married his high-school sweetheart, Antonia “Toya” Johnson, in 2004. The marriage ended in divorce in 2006. The former couple share their daughter, Reginae Carter, who is now 27. Johnson has continued to speak publicly about their family over the years. In 2026, she described Wayne as a “great dad,” while also acknowledging that his career meant he was extremely busy when Reginae was growing up.

Who Are Lil Wayne’s Four Children?

Wayne has four children with four different women. Along with Reginae, he has three sons: Dwayne Carter, Kameron Carter and Neal Carter. Dwayne and Kameron are both 17, while Neal is 16, according to PEOPLE. Their mothers are Sarah Vivan, actress Lauren London and singer Nivea, respectively.

Wayne’s children have also spoken about growing up with a famous father. In a 2025 episode of Reginae’s Heir Time podcast, Kameron recalled that being recognised as Lil Wayne’s son made school difficult at first. “I wanted to know who would be my real friend,” Kameron said, explaining that he eventually learned to navigate the attention surrounding his family.

What Comes Next For Lil Wayne And Madi Cannon?

For now, Wayne’s own description of Cannon as his fiancée is the clearest public indication that the couple intend to marry. However, there is no confirmed wedding date or ceremony details. Their relationship has already gone from engagement rumours to a public breakup and now an apparent reconciliation. Whether the couple eventually share more about their plans remains to be seen, but Wayne’s unexpected announcement has certainly placed Madi Cannon at the centre of attention.
