A Blood Moon, Playboi Carti’s new album, and conspiracy-level marketing plans? Fans on X are having a field day with this wild coincidence. On March 13th, a user retweeted the news of a Blood Moon—where the Earth casts a shadow, giving the Moon a red tint—with a cheeky comment by @kirowontmiss,
“Playboi Carti marketing team going crazy,” sparking chaos online.
What followed was a whirlwind of fan theories, from astrological significance to strategic music releases. Could Playboi Carti have timed his "I AM MUSIC" album drop with cosmic events? The internet seems to think so. Whether it’s pure coincidence or Carti’s marketing genius at work, fans love the mystical vibes surrounding the album’s arrival.
Fans theorize cosmic marketing genius as Playboi Carti's album and a Blood Moon collide
Unsurprisingly, the internet had a lot to say about Blood Moon’s sudden connection to Carti’s album release. Theories, jokes, and memes flooded X as users tried to piece together the significance.
“Okay now it makes sense why he said randomly Friday, I guess it wasn’t random,” @cuhromi tweeted, referring to Carti’s vague album release date.
@momiyss echoed the sentiment, posting,
“Finally album coming out next year 🙏🏻,” with a sprinkle of sarcasm about the ever-delayed release of "I AM MUSIC."
The five-year gap between albums has left fans speculating that the wait itself was some kind of elaborate strategy, perfectly synced with celestial events.
“Ts was all planned and timed perfectly omg the 5 year wait was a part of their plan,” wrote @okluis_, who seemed convinced that Carti and his team were plotting something cosmic all along.
Not everyone was impressed, though. @d00M1071 tweeted,
“Bro this is not good 😭,” paired with a popular meme of Felicia from Shrek 5 looking unimpressed.
The message? Some fans remain skeptical about whether the album will live up to the hype. Of course, there’s always a fan who fully buys into the theory.
“Oh this is true, I saw the moon last night it was quite reddish tbh,” @ThatNetizen tweeted, leaning into the surreal vibe of the whole situation.
But not all the reactions were positive.
“For a mid album,” @oksonoqui quipped, poking fun at the long wait with a tone of disappointment.
Expectations for "I AM MUSIC" have skyrocketed after Carti’s long hiatus, and fans are on edge about whether the album will hit or miss.
