The controversy and wait surrounding I AM MUSIC began in March 2021 when Playboi Carti announced a follow-up record to his album Whole Lotta Red stating “LeTs dr0p thiS new Album . w3 noT done" on Instagram. This was followed by another announcement in August 2021, wherein the rapper shared a photo carousel captioned “NARCISSIST 09/13/21,” hinting at the album release on his 25th birthday.

However, there was no sign of the album on the mentioned date. Additionally, in April 2022, Carti mentioned in an interview with XXL Magazine that his upcoming album would be called Music "because that’s all it is at this point." Another year began without the rapper dropping the much-anticipated album followed by an interview with NUMÉRO BERLIN in November 2023.

In the 2023 NUMÉRO BERLIN interview, Playboi Carti hinted at working on new music by stating:

"I’ve been recording in Paris, I love Paris. Amazing. I was recording, in a cave, for like three months, and all the music that came out of that is just chaotic and crazy."

After dropping multiple snippets of songs, the rapper released a single called 2024 co-produced by Ojivolta, Earl on the Beat, and Kanye West in December 2023 followed by more musical snippets and collaborative releases. However, there was no sign of the I AM MUSIC album till December 2024, resulting in fans posting a trending hashtag called #IAMLIAR to express their discontent with Carti.
