Fans react hilariously as Playboi Carti assures, “I’m dropping I Am Music in 2024 on a Friday” as the final day approaches.

Fans of Playboi Carti have been desperately waiting for his illusive album, I am music. Carti’s final assurance to fans as 2024 draws to a close, “I’ll drop the album in 2024 on a Friday,” naturally left them more confused than relieved. Many people are beginning to question whether I Am Music will ever be released, especially with only a few Fridays left in the year and Cartis’ infamous album delays.

In an attempt to reassure fans that the project would be released soon, DJ Akademiks recently reiterated the same stance. But fans have had enough of years of radio silence and unfulfilled promises.


Fans react hilariously to Playboi Carti’s “Friday” assurance

In typical internet fashion, fans have turned their frustration into comedy gold. One fan commented,

“Playboi Carti has lost nearly 50,000 followers already after not falling,”

reveling in the waning patience of his loyal followers. Another went into full dark humor mode, fun,

“9/11 if Playboi Carti planned it,”

complete with a shot of the Twin Towers minus the accident, suggesting that Carti’s pace of dropping new music can delay even historic events.

Too many fans the wait for I am music feels interminable, prompting one user to compare Carti to another notorious album delay king, tweeting,

“Playboi Carti and A$AP Rocky when it comes to having the WORST album releases ever,”

expresses a common sentiment among hip-hop heads that Carti’s rollout may go down in history as one of the most chaotic ever.

As if the heartache of waiting wasn’t enough, some fans have taken to social media to announce their official breakup with Carti’s music.

“It’s over, Playboi Carti didn’t fall ,”

one fan dramatically proclaimed, while another added,

“Playboi Carti, we are sadly leaving you in 2024,” meaning Carti’s delays may have cost him the loyalty of even his most devoted followers.

But all hope is not lost as one fan wrote a tongue-in-cheek declaration,

“Maybe the right one I am music were the friends we made along the way,”

suggests that the wait itself has brought fans together in a bizarre, meme-filled community of shared suffering.


The long road of delays and anticipation

Carti has previously struggled to release I Am Music. Since his long-awaited album Whole Lotta Red also experienced numerous delays, the rapper has established a reputation for pushing out release dates with little or no justification. Since then, supporters’ displeasure and suspicions have only increased due to Carti’s enigmatic social media posts and lack of interaction with them.

Fans who have been annoyed by previous delays are not very comforted by DJ Akademiks’ latest assurances that the album would be released before long. Some might think Carti’s distinct sound and flair make the wait worth it, but others find the constant setbacks getting old. Carti’s enigmatic and unpredictable persona only lasts so long before fans begin to doubt whether the album will ever be released.


As the final Fridays of 2024 approach, fans cling to Carti’s promise with a mixture of hope and skepticism. Sore I am music drops as planned or becomes another myth in Carti’s already legendary history of delays, one thing’s for sure: the internet will continue to react in the most hilarious ways possible. In the end, it might not matter if Carti falls on a Friday or not — he’s already cemented his place in meme history.
