Playboi Carti’s ‘BABY BOI’ Album: Is It Finally Coming? Conflicting Reports Fuel Hype
Is Playboi Carti about to drop another album this year? Rumors and teases surrounding his highly anticipated project, BABY BOI, have been swirling since the release of his third studio album, MUSIC. But are these just more empty promises, or is BABY BOI really ready to hit the airwaves? Let's dissect the latest developments.
Following the release of MUSIC, which quickly climbed the charts, Carti himself hinted at an imminent follow-up. "CONGRATS LETS CONTINUE DIS LIL RUN WE GOT I GOT ANOTHER CLIP READY," he posted on Instagram. More recently, he stated, "WE PUSHIN BBY BOI / IM ON ONE DIS YEAR." But mixed signals and Carti's history of project delays have fans cautiously optimistic.
Adding fuel to the fire, various sources close to the artist have made bold claims. DJ Swamp Izzo, a key figure in the MUSIC rollout, revealed in an April interview with Complex that BABY BOI is "Ready. Done." He even suggested that Carti has over 50 completed songs. He also stated, "If I was still in that mixtape era, we'd have BABY BOI one through nine. 15 years ago, we were so heartfelt on them exclusives. We couldn't even sleep until we put it out before everybody."
Similarly, producer F1LTHY recently confirmed on social media. When a fan speculated that the album might get scrapped, F1LTHY responded, "Shit already done we still pushing I am tho." This supports Izzo's sentiment that the project is complete, but emphasizes the current focus on promoting I AM MUSIC.
However, despite these assurances, scepticism remains. Carti's previous album, *Whole Lotta Red*, faced numerous delays and transformations before its release. The unreleased *NARCISSIST* project further fuels concerns that BABY BOI might suffer a similar fate.
Adding to the mystery, Carti hinted at a somewhat related issue when he posted, in a now-deleted message showing him with Giovanna Ramos, that he was "MET GALA BANNED ME FELT LIKE WE GOT KICKED OUT OF PROM BUT WE GOOD." The reason for the supposed ban remains unknown, leaving fans wondering if it could somehow impact his music releases.
Despite the uncertain timeline, the sheer volume of confirmations from Carti's inner circle suggests that BABY BOI is more than just vaporware. The question now is not *if*, but *when* the album will finally drop. Will it be a surprise release, or another drawn-out wait? Only time will tell.
