Still, the new music has yet to drop despite only a few days left in the year.

Fans say all eyes are on Friday, December 27, as the last day of the year when he can release the eagerly awaited new music to fans.

An online petition was started on Thursday by a anonymous fan accusing the rapper, real name Jordan Carter, of leaving his followers “deceived and disappointed”.

It calls on Apple Music and Spotify to ban him from their platforms until he releases the new tracks.

He currently has 53 million monthly listeners on Spotify.

“Playboi Carti has consistently deceived and disappointed his loyal fan base by making empty promises about album releases,” Change.org petition reader.

“Most recently, on December 14, 2023, he assured fans that a new album would be released in 2024.

“Since then, instead of living up to his word, he has only shared snippets, released random tracks on YouTube and Instagram, and failed to deliver the album he promised.”

It adds: “Today is the last Friday of the year, the traditional release day for new music, and there is still no sign of the promised project.

“This repeated cycle of unfulfilled commitments shows a lack of respect for his fans’ time and support.”

The disgruntled fans say they “demand accountability.”

“This petition calls for Playboi Carti to be banned from all music platforms until he honors his promises and shows a genuine commitment to his fan base,” it concludes.

“If artists can’t maintain the trust of their listeners, they shouldn’t be allowed to earn their loyalty.”

Over 2,688 fans have signed the petition as of 06:00 Friday morning.

“He tricked me and broke my heart,” one fan wrote.

“I’m sick and tired of him not dropping the music, we waited 4 years for nothing,” added another.

A third wrote: “I’m signing because I’m sick of him and his lies. He had all year to drop the album and go to #1 on the charts so what’s his excuse for not dropping?”

Playboi has yet to officially respond publicly.

However, a Jordan Carter account claiming to be him was among those who commented on the petition.

“I’m dropping the album guys calm down,” read the comment.

Fans have also created another website, iammusic2024.com, listing all the times they claim Playboi went back on promises of new music.

It notes that the rapper debuted some of the songs believed to be on his new album at Rolling Loud in Miami on December 15.

Playboi last released music in 2020 with the album Whole Lotta Red.

The US Sun contacted Playboi Carti and Universal Music Group for comment.
