The music video, directed by Azriel and Paperwork, features Carti throwing a party on a yacht in Miami wearing Chrome Hearts boots and jorts, rapping:

"Hey, my b***h so bad, she can't even go outside / My b***h so bad, she can't even post online, huh / Don't say you ride for me, lil' b***h, just ride, huh, huh / Don't say you'll die for me, lil' b***h, just die."

The record was produced by F1lthy, Keanu Beats, Ojivolta, 99Hurts, and BBYKOBE, featuring a blend of R&B and trap compositions. Carti's Fine Sh*t debuted at No.33 on Billboard's Hot 100 chart and peaked at No.16 on the publication's Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart.

Playboi Carti expected to return to No.1 on Billboard 200 following increase in 'MUSIC' sales

Playboi Carti's MUSIC is currently at No.2 on Billboard 200, behind Ariana Grande's Eternal Sunshine, which holds the No.1 spot on the publication's album chart.

Carti's MUSIC held two weeks at No.1 before Ariana returned to the top of Billboard 200 for a third week following the release of her Eternal Sunshine - Deluxe album.

Playboi Carti's MUSIC was one of the biggest hip-hop album debuts of the year and marked a massive streaming milestone with the project debuting with 384 million on-demand official streams.

The rapper's third studio album featured a total of 30 full-length records with guest features from Kendrick Lamar, Travis Scott, The Weeknd, Future, and more. Interestingly, all 30 records broke into Billboard's Hot 100 following the LP's release on March 14, 2025.

With the NFR Podcast claiming Playboi Carti will likely return to No.1 on Billboard 200, after reportedly selling "62,000 units," many fans have been seen sharing their anticipation for a new album titled Baby Boi.

Recently, DJ Swamp Izzo sat down for an exclusive interview with Billboard magazine, where he spoke about his work with Playboi Carti and built up anticipation around Baby Boi, claiming the LP was "ready."

“New music. He got over 50, 60 songs done. Completed to his liking? I couldn’t say. But they’re done. If I was still in that mixtape era, we’d have Baby Boi one through nine. Fifteen years ago, we were so heartfelt on them exclusives. We couldn’t even sleep until we put it out before everybody,” DJ Swamp Izzo stated.
