Playboi Carti is finally releasing his much-anticipated album, I Am Music on March 14, 2025. This will be his first big release after Whole Lotta Red, which came out in December 2020. Fans have been eagerly waiting for his new album, especially after several delays and title changes.
The hints to drop the news were pretty vague. First, the rapper posted on X, with just the word FRIDAY. This left the fans confused and wondering if he meant his new music is coming out. Then he even posted a video on Instagram.
This video left the fans even more confused.
Playboi Carti's Journey to I Am Music
Playboi Carti's journey to his new album has been anything but smooth. In March 2021, the rapper hinted at a new project which was supposed to be called Narcissist. This album was supposed to be released in September, 2021. But this project never came into existence, which left the fans disappointed.
By April 2022, he renamed the album to Music and even shared pictures and performed some unreleased tracks to keep the interest alive among his fans. Throughout 2023 and 2024, Carti continued to tease his fans with confusing posts on social media, as well as surprise performances. In December of 2024, during his performance at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami, he performed five new songs that were expected to be on his new album.
Carti posted on his Instagram story saying,
"MY ALBUM DONE. ME N WHEEZY TALKING ABOUT SOME OL OTHER SH*TTT."
This was about his texts with Wheezy, where he was hinting at his unfinished project. The long wait kept the fans confused, some were even a bit sad, and some disappointed. But now, the wait is finally over and his album is dropping soon. The wait is to see if it is worth the years of wait.
Fans Reactions on Playboi Carti's New Album Dropping Soon
The repeated delays, the long wait have tested the patience of Playboi Carti's fans. In 2024, netizens even started a petition to ban Carti from all music platforms, because he was "consistently deceiving and disappointing" his fans. The petition read,
"This petition calls for (him) to be banned from all music platforms until he honors his promises and demonstrates a genuine commitment to his fanbase. If artists cannot uphold the trust of their listeners, they should not be allowed to profit off their loyalty."
Trending
His fans were really upset with him for his promises of a new release which were simply not coming to life.
However, the news of his new release has stirred excitement among fans. His constant delay is now speculated to be a promotional strategy. In September 2024, Playboi Carti's new single All Red was released and fans are wondering if his new album would be anything like it.
