Rolling Stone presents its May 2025 issue featuring entertainer Lil Wayne on the cover. The editorial project leans into a clean, minimalist aesthetic, placing the subject against a neutral backdrop to emphasize the bold, central typography and layout structure.
Photographed by Theo Wenner, the imagery is guided by creative direction from Joe Hutchinson, with set design by Spencer Vrooman. The vertical composition utilizes precise framing to establish a classic portrait style.
