AceShowbiz - Playboi Carti has mastered the art of album delays, teasing fans with social media hints and announcements for his highly anticipated third album. In September, he debuted the single "All Red", but radio silence followed until his performance on November 16 at ComplexCon. There, he revealed that Kanye West is playing a pivotal role in the album's sound.

Carti gave a shout-out to West, saying, "Shout out to my n***a Kanye, you know what I'm saying." He explained, "He over here making beats and s**t. That album gonna be crazy, I can't wait to show y'all n***as." This collaboration is not surprising, as Carti has previously cited West as an influence on his work. West has reciprocated the admiration, calling Carti one of the most important artists of his generation.

In a positive turn of events, Carti has kicked off the album rollout in earnest since confirming West's involvement. He announced on Instagram on November 18 that new music would drop on November 22, which was later confirmed with text messages confirming "NEW CARTI FRIDAY."

However, amidst the excitement, Carti has also faced controversy. A fan has accused the rapper of ordering his entourage to attack him after being asked for an autograph. According to the fan, Carti snatched the image and ordered his crew to pursue them. The fan claimed to have given West his girlfriend's phone as evidence. The incident has raised questions about Carti's behavior.

Despite the negative publicity, Carti remains focused on his album release. He has teased that fans should be prepared for something incredible, hinting at the influence of West's production. With the confirmed release date and West's involvement, the anticipation for "I AM MUSIC" has reached fever pitch.
