Key Facts

According to People, Lil Wayne confirmed the engagement in an Instagram video posted on September 28, 2026, recorded for fellow Hot Boy B.G. In the clip, Wayne congratulated B.G. on his own engagement to Brooke Jones before turning the camera to Cannon and saying, "And I'm marrying this one — this is Madison… This is my fiancée."

Reports put the couple's age gap at 21 years, with Cannon said to be 23. Page Six has identified her as a Kokomo, Indiana, native and Wayne's ex-girlfriend.

The announcement marks a reversal: in a July 2026 livestream, Wayne denied the engagement outright, saying, "No, I'm not engaged… we decided to part." The walk-back surprised fans who had watched the earlier denials play out online.

TMZ had reported in May 2026 that Wayne quietly proposed earlier in the year, months before either the denial or the confirmation.

If he follows through, it will be Wayne's second marriage. He was previously married to his childhood sweetheart, Antonia "Toya" Johnson, from 2004 to 2006.

Wayne is a father of four children: Reginae (27), Dwyane (17), Kameron (17), and Neal (16).
