PartyNextDoor is a lot more low-key than his OVO Sound benefactor Drake, but like his fellow Torontonian, he knows how to get people talking. In this case, they are talking about the cover for his upcoming album, PartyNextDoor 4, which has fans split between turned on and grossed out with its NSFW photo.
The photo, which you can view on Party’s Instagram, depicts a nude woman on all fours (heh) from behind, insinuating that it was taken mid-coitus. Her lower back bears a “tramp stamp” tattoo with a number 4. While some fans are celebrating it as an indication of a fully unhinged, hedonistic album on the way, others think it’s so raunchy it has to be an April Fools’ joke.

Party announced the album’s upcoming release date after sharing a pair of singles, “Resentment” and “Real Woman.” The album is due on April 26, over four years since the release of his last album, Partymobile.
Party explained the long delay between albums in an interview with Billboard, ironically blaming it on romantic entanglements, the very thing that fuels his his music’s popularity. “I get into relationships and then music becomes second,” he explained, before vowing, “I think I’m going to take a break from relationships, a long break, and just get back to making music.”
PartyNextDoor is a Warner Music artist. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.
