Maroon 5 is inching toward the release of their Love Is Like album, slated to arrive on Aug. 15, and frontman Adam Levine stopped by Today on Wednesday (July 9), where he revealed a pair of rappers set to invade the LP as special guests: Lil Wayne and Sexyy Red.
“Lil Wayne did a verse of the song, and Sexyy Red,” the Maroon 5 frontman said. “It’s a nice mix of people, and we’re really excited about the songs we’re doing.”
He continued: “We kind of organically chose some really great guests. We have obviously LISA — that everybody knows — so LISA, that one, cat’s out of the bag.”
Maroon 5 has already released two singles ahead of the 10-track album, including “All Night” and “Priceless” with BLACKPINK’s LISA.
“It was one of those things where I feel like we’ve written songs every which way and we wanted to get back to what started the band and kind of what made us successful in the first place,” he explained. “We have amazing producers that help bring it to life.”
Levine is no stranger to Weezy, as the duo previously collaborated in 2020 on the Funeral track “Trust Nobody.” Maroon 5 has also dipped into the rapper world in the past with team-ups alongside the likes of Cardi B, Megan Thee Stallion and Wiz Khalifa.
The three-time Grammy-winning band will hit the road this fall with a 23-city trek kicking off in Phoenix on Oct. 6 in support of Love Is Like.
Maroon 5’s last LP arrived in 2021 with Jordi, which featured collaborations with Meg, YG, Juice WRLD, Nipsey Hussle, Stevie Nicks, Blackbear and H.E.R.
