Finally in 2005, Lil Wayne became the superstar that he is today. The critically acclaimed album, Tha Carter II sold, 238,000 copies in its first week of release, debuting at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 albums chart, and went on to sell 2,000,000 copies world wide. Shortly after, that Lil Wayne was named president of Cash Money records and then founded the label Young Money entertainment. The future looked bright for Lil Wayne and he took full advantage of it.
After 2005, Juelz Santa strengthened his partnership with Lil Wayne. Santana began working with Lil Wayne on a collaboration album I Can't Feel My Face. By 2007 the album's production was completed, but contractual issues delayed the album's release. These issues also kept him from releasing a solo album. Santana was forced into a four year hiatus while Lil Wayne got involved with every artist on the face of the earth. On top of that Lil Wayne also kept his name in the spotlight by putting out mixtape after mixtape while Juelz dealt with his legal issues.
