Lil Wayne’s Rebirth Pushed back Even Further

Rap superstar Lil Wayne has been forced to delay the release of his experimental rock album yet again - after failing to secure sample clearances.

The Lollipop hitmaker's Rebirth disc was originally due to hit stores in early April, but it was subsequently postponed until May.

However, label bosses at Universal Records want to avoid any legal issues and have delayed the disc for another few weeks to allow time to gain the relevant permits.

The album will now drop in the U.S. on 23 June, according to Entertainment Weekly, Lil Wayne is currently being sued for copyright infringement over his songs Mrs. Officer and I Feel Like Dying.
