DJ Akademiks Attempts To Reassure Playboi Carti Fans As “I Am Music” Turns Into “I Have No Music”

Posted on by EDITORIAL FEATURES

One person who has been tapped in with Carti’s camp is none other than DJ Akademiks. In fact, it was Ak who helped break the news that Carti would drop Whole Lotta Red on Christmas Day. During his most recent livestream, Akademiks claimed that the album was still coming and that it was going to happen soon. However, Ak also noted that he cannot give a release date right now and that it is killing him because he seemingly knows what that date is.

Playboi Carti Fans Are In Despair

When asked it the album would drop in 2024, he gave a look to the camera and it was pretty ambiguous as to what he truly meant here. It could either mean the album really is coming or it could mean we will have to wait a few weeks. What is known is that Carti has begun rolling out the merch packages for the album, which suggests that it could very well be on the way. Friday, December 27th seems like a logical release date, but who knows at this point?

Carti is someone who toys with his fans on the regular, and this is no different. Having said that, one has to wonder how much longer he can pull off this charade. Something has to give, and eventually, the fans will give him hell for it. If by 2025 there is no album, then Carti could be in for a rough go on social media. Hopefully, that doesn’t happen.
