"This is the final straw" - Internet reacts as fans start petition to ban Playboi Carti from all music platforms 

Playboi Carti's fans recently started a petition to ban the rapper from all music platforms over unreleased music. On Thursday, December 26, 2024, fans started a Change.org petition, which stated:

"(He) has consistently deceived and disappointed his loyal fanbase by making empty promises about album releases."

Demanding accountability, the petition continued:

"This petition calls for (him) to be banned from all music platforms until he honors his promises and demonstrates a genuine commitment to his fanbase. If artists cannot uphold the trust of their listeners, they should not be allowed to profit off their loyalty."

Playboi Carti aka Jordan Terrell Carter dropped his last studio project, Whole Lotta Red, in December 2020. It was delayed by two years due to songs getting leaked.

According to an article by Hip Hop DX, last December, Playboi Carti took to his Instagram stories to share the words, "I AM MUSIC," hinting at a new album which was possibly going to be released in 2024.

However, as the year comes to an end, the album remains unreleased.

As news of the petition went viral, internet users were quick to react. One asserted:

"This is the final straw."

Some came to Playboi Carti's defense, asking users to give the rapper space and work at his own pace.

"he don’t owe yall anything, just listen to other artist," one wrote.

"Yall gon head an do that, I will definitely still be following and waiting patiently for this album," another remarked.

"B*tch it’s not that serious let artists Live and give their art when they desire," a fan commented.

Others continued to call out the rapper, asking to boycott his music.

"Is he even a rapper at this point? Can we consider him one? Dude cancels his concerts/festival appearances, and he doesn't drop music. I think those are the two things that would make you a rapper, right?" one questioned.

"as a carti fan i can get behind this," another added.

"it’s crazy how it wasn’t his terrible music or his domestic abuse it was that they didn’t get *more* music that s*cks a**," a user noted.

"Demonstrates a lack of respect for his fans' time and support"—Petition criticizes Playboi Carti for deceiving fans

According to the petition on Change.org, the campaign currently has almost 1,800 signatures. It explained that instead of releasing I Am Music, Playboi Carti shared "snippets, released random tracks on YouTube and Instagram, and failed to provide the album he promised."

It further noted that December 27 was the last Friday of the year and "the traditional release day for new music." However, there is no official word on the project's release.

"This repeated cycle of unfulfilled commitments demonstrates a lack of respect for his fans' time and support," the petition read.

According to a report by XXL Magazine, on December 25, the four-year anniversary of Playboi Carti's last album, Whole Lotta Red, frustrated fans allegedly launched a website (iammusic2024.com) detailing every unfulfilled update by the rapper.

This included rumors of a Whole Lotta Red deluxe album, song snippets, tour or performance delays, and even audio updates.

It is to be noted that during Rolling Loud: Miami (December 15), Playboi Carti debuted new music from the album. Per an article by Uproxx, he played five new songs:Walk, Cocaine Nose, Crush, Drugs Got Me Numb, and Lie.

Recently, several fans have taken to social media to start a "mass unfollowing" of the rapper if he doesn't drop his new album.

However, internet personality DJ Akademiks, during his most recent Twitch livestream, claimed the album was "absolutely coming" soon.

Playboi Carti has not publicly reacted to the petition or claims to mass unfollow.
