"Banned from NO" is a song by American rapper Lil Wayne from his fourteenth studio album, Tha Carter VI. Produced by TheNightAftr and Kamo, it samples the fanfare from "Banned from T.V." by Noreaga featuring Big Pun, Nature, Cam'ron, Jadakiss, and Styles P.[1] An official remix of the song with Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj was released on June 11, 2025.
Reviewing Tha Carter VI for Slant Magazine, Paul Attard considered the song one of the album's "high points", which he also described as "little more than reminders of the baseline competence that Wayne was once capable of" and "offer scant evidence that he's still evolving as an artist".[2] Paul A. Thompson of Pitchfork was critical of the song, commenting "The chorus of 'Banned From NO' is a barrage of rhyming phrases ('The cocaine whiter/The rope chain brighter/The choke chain tighter/The close-range sniper/The dope-game lifer…') delivered with such sleepy obligation as to become totally uninteresting."[3]
