G.O.O.D. Music's Big Sean has weighed in on Lil Wayne's Tha Carter IV nearly hitting a million sold copies its opening week and debuting atop the sales chart.

Shocked by the amount of sales, Sean said he projected the album to sell up to 500,000 copies.

Man. Congratulations Lil Wayne, you sh*tted on everybody again. Again...Congratulations to him. I think that's like beautiful. That's inspiring to me. I'm trying to sell a million the first week. Lil Wayne really worked his a** off for that. He's been going since he was 13 with the Hot Boys to the everything." (Rap-Up TV)

Following its debut atop the competition, Cash Money Records founders Slim and Baby shared their reactions.

"This is a tremendous accomplishment for Lil Wayne and everyone here at Cash Money," said Slim. "It's a tribute to the hard work and commitment he's shown from the very start." "I consider him my son, part of the Cash Money family from the very start," added Baby. "One thing I've learned. No record is safe from him." (Statement)
