Playboi Carti Seemingly Reveals He Welcomed A New Baby In His Surprise ‘H00DByAir’ Song

Playboi Carti has had fans in a chokehold, wondering when he’ll finally drop his followup to his first-career No. 1 album, Whole Lotta Red, which arrived on Christmas Day in 2020. Last Christmas, Carti returned to social media and appeared to tease that new music was imminent. It wasn’t until last week that he released a new song, “2024,” but fans didn’t have to wait another year for the next development.

On Tuesday, December 19, Carti posted a video to Instagram Story. It features someone screaming (to put it lightly), “CARTI DROPPIN’ AGAIN [EXPLETIVE] TONIGHT!” Written atop the video is, “9:00 PARENTAL ADVISORY EXPLICIT CONTENT TUESDAY.”

Shortly thereafter, Carti reshared an Instagram Reel posted by Opium, captioned, “H00DBYAIR #IAMMUSIC.”

Toward the end of the song, Carti raps, “I was 24 when I had lil Onyx / 27 when I had Eve.” As pointed out by XXL, people are assuming that the bar serves as an announcement that Carti has welcomed a baby named Eve. Carti welcomed Onyx, his son with ex Iggy Azalea, in 2020. It must be noted that Carti was arrested for allegedly choking his pregnant girlfriend last December, as reported by TMZ.

“According to the arrest affidavit, obtained by TMZ, the woman told police the rapper grabbed her by her throat and pushed her, holding her neck until she could barely breathe,” the outlet reported in February. “She even told cops she thought she was going to die. Police say the woman told officers she’s been in a relationship with Playboi Carti for two years, has lived with him since July 2022 and was 14 weeks pregnant at the time of the alleged incident on December 20.”

The “H00DByAir” video features appearances by Destroy Lonely, Homixide Gang, and Ken Carson — fellow Opium Collective members and openers on Carti’s Antagonist Tour, which was postponed in August to 2024.

The “#IAMMUSIC” hashtag all but confirms what was already widely accepted as fact. Carti is reportedly gearing up to release an album “early next year (currently with a tentative release date in January),” per Hypebeast. Earlier this month, Carti posted a word graphic to a since-expired Instagram story reading, “I AM MUSIC,” which currently serves as Carti’s Instagram profile picture, so it’s believed that I Am Music is the album’s title.

Playboi Carti’s “H00DBYAIR” Single Helps Usher In His Next Era

by

Few rappers have fanbases that ride for them as hard as the Vamps do for Playboi Carti. As he moves toward dropping off his next LP, the Whole Lotta Red hitmaker is feeling their support more than ever before. As they wait for new music from their favourite rapper, many have returned to streaming his 2020 effort, which features Kanye West, Kid Cudi, and Future.

After returning with “2024” this past weekend, Carti promised that if online plays continued to increase, he would share more music ahead of the new year. Today (December 19), his Instagram feed lit up with the previously teased “H00DBYAIR,” which is receiving rave reviews so far in the comments. “How do you drop a song [in] the last week of this year and it’s still better than everything else dropped from the last 350 days?” one user asked.

“Better than Kanye,” another person argued. The Yeezy founder’s Vultures project with Ty Dolla Sign was expected to hit streamers earlier this month. However, sample clearance issues are causing delays, and West now hopes to share his album on New Years Eve. Once both rappers have unleashed their latest work, we’re curious to see which one will offer more replay value.

Check out Playboi Carti’s latest single, “H00DBYAIR,” exclusively on his Instagram (for the time being, at least) above. Are you a fan of what the “Magnolia” artist has been dropping off over the past few weeks before finally unleashing his next LP?

Playboi Carti revealed that he is in communication with Drake over new music. Hitting Instagram, Carti revealed that his “twin” had the wrong number and saluting a Ye song “2024 is amazing.”

Would you be excited for new Drake and Playboi Carti music?

Playboi Carti has announced that the U.S. dates for his highly anticipated Antagonist Tour are rescheduled to 2024. The tour is set to kick off in Dublin on Nov. 19, with overseas stops in major cities including London, Paris, and Amsterdam this fall. The tour will then continue in 2024 with a string of dates across the United States, hitting cities like New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Atlanta, Las Vegas, Boston, and more. Fans holding tickets for the original dates can rest assured, as they will be valid for the rescheduled shows. New dates and ticket information can be found at playboicarti.com.

This tour marks Playboi Carti’s first headline tour since 2021 when he took the music world by storm with his #1 album on the Billboard 200 chart, “Whole Lotta Red.” The album, released on Christmas day in 2020, achieved remarkable sales and streaming numbers in its debut week.

The Antagonist Tour promises electrifying live performances and unique fan experiences, with support from talented rappers Ken Carson, Destroy Lonely, and Homixide Gang, who are hitting the road together for the first time as an Opium Collective. These rising artists have garnered widespread acclaim and are set to bring their unique sounds to audiences worldwide.

Playboi Carti Is Bringing The Extravagant Vibes Only For ‘2024,’ As He Shared His Confident New Song

by

Playboi Carti dropped his new song, “2024,” just in time for the new year that’s approaching. The track is rumored to be the first preview of his upcoming project, I Am Music, which, according to Hypebeast, might drop in January.

“Yeah, yeah, you came back and you fell, uh / Second place, can’t be in my face, oh, nah / Deep pockets, they think I’m rockin’ Chanel,” he raps, according to Genius, as he points out his champion mentality and extravagant tendencies. “Fat wallet, lil’ b*tch, you know I got here / Out of pocket with your b*tch, Chanel / I’ma grow me some horns, baby, I’m from hell.”

Right now, as a surprise drop from the rapper, the song is only available to listen to on YouTube. However, the release came complete with a music video that matched the energies. It opens with Playboi Carti showing off his car collection and designer luggage, as he performs in his garage. He also unwinds on the hood of a few of the cars, as he throws some money in the air — all while maintaining his rap skills over an entertaining beat.

Later in the video, he dances around with some friends outside of a gas station.

Check out Playboi Carti’s new song, “2024,” above.

Playboi Carti’s “2024” Is Turning Into An Overnight Sensation

by

Playboi Carti’s fanbase has to be as juiced as they have ever been since the rollout of Whole Lotta Red. Over the past several days we have gotten tons of updates on the Georgia rapper’s upcoming record, Music. That is at least what Genius has on its page. We have also seen I AM MUSIC stemming from Carti’s Instagram account as well as the album cover.

Furthermore, the elusive artist has teased snippets of songs, as well as the lead single. “Different Day” was released on Carti’s Opium music label Instagram account last week. Based on the sound of this track, he is going back to the trap sound. It harkens back to the Cath Carti era in some aspects. It has a more eerie, dreamy, and nocturnal element tone this time around.

Listen To “2024” By Playboi Carti

“2024” fits that bill to some extent, too. If it was not obvious enough already, the view count on this music video will tangibly prove how long his fans have been waiting for new stuff. It is essentially blowing up overnight, with 3.1 million views and it holds the number one trending spot for music on YouTube. While Carti delivers a dynamic performance featuring both his high-pitch and deeper voice from “FE!N,” the production is another key component. Kanye West, Ojivolta, and Earl on the Beat did a great job at creating a hypnotic beat that instantly grabs your attention.

What are your initial thoughts on this brand-new song, “2024,” by Playboi Carti? Does this song have amped for the release of his forthcoming album, Music? Out of the two songs we have gotten so far, which is one better? Will this be Carti’s best project when it drops? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest breaking news around Playboi Carti.

Quotable Lyrics:

I’m travelin’ the world like the pope, bringin’ the praise right to my son
Shawty, you gotta be canceled, you make me feel some type way
And no, I can’t be canceled ’cause you feel some type way, uh, uh
I’m in the lane, ándale, ándale, ándale
Uh, I’ma keep killin’ these hoes, I’m f****n’ on my main
Pink in my cup like a brain, sippin’ on zombie

Kanye West Invites Playboi Carti To Miami Listening Party With Ty Dolla Sign

by

Kanye West and Ty Dolla $ign’s collab album is apparently still in the works despite multiple delays, cancellations, pulled concerts, and more antics. Moreover, apparently the two are hosting a listening party referred to as a “VULTURES RAVE” in Sawgreen Mills in the Miami area, as the shopping center is in Sunrise, Florida. Per social media posts from the singer, it will take place on Tuesday (December 12) at 12AM midnight. As such, it seems like each artist is also taking steps to make sure everyone who they want there will be there. For Ye, that includes a familiar face who he executive-produced an album for three years ago.

Furthermore, Playboi Carti continued his hot streak of social media activity recently by sharing a DM from him. “It’s ye checking in family,” Kanye’s message reads, according to his Whole Lotta Red collaborator’s recent Instagram Story post. “Got your number from wheezy.” Then, he included a screenshot of Ty Dolla $ign’s announcement of this “rave,” which is most likely just a listening party. However, it’s still quite likely that this is just a ruse to put together some other shindig or party, as we don’t know the explicit details of it.

Playboi Carti Shares Kanye West’s Invitation To Ty Dolla $ign Collab Album Party

Not only that, but this also brings two album rollouts together, something which only became possible for Kanye West and Playboi Carti this week. For those unaware, the latter fully kicked off his I AM MUSIC campaign, hyping fans up with snippets and a lot of social media interactions with other stars and potential collaborators. As such, it’s no surprise that the Atlanta rage exponent couldn’t help but share the good news from the Chicago rapper. Does this mean that we’ll get both projects at around the same time?

It’s too early to know for sure, but it wouldn’t be a surprising coincidence given that Ye and Carti have worked together before. With the former dropping new snippets of his own, many fans out there are reckoning with their individual controversies which have sullied excitement for these new releases. We’ll see if they contain some answers or accountability in this regard. On that note, keep checking in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Kanye West and Playboi Carti.

Playboi Carti Wants Frank Ocean To Drop Snippet, Shouts Out Young Dabo On IG

by

Considering the type of music that each of them makes, Playboi Carti and Frank Ocean have far more in common than they probably should. They’re both guests on the song “RAF” with A$AP Rocky, Lil Uzi Vert, and more, and they’re also two notoriously silent, mysterious, and very, very sought after artists with ardent fanbases. Now that the rollout for I AM MUSIC is underway, it seems like the Whole Lotta Red MC is challenging his closed-off counterpart to follow suit. Moreover, Carti recently shared an Instagram DM that he sent to the Odd Future singer that connects the arduous desire that both fanbases have for new music from them.

At 3:26AM local time, Playboi Carti wrote the following to Frank Ocean: “twin, Post a snippet or some if it’s up den it’s up ? Wat? U scared ?” It’s quite the comical exchange, especially considering that he did drop a snippet of his own around the same time that Carti was unveiling his rollout and posting more and more stuff. Do they want to keep competing for who can wait the longest without feeding their die-hards? Honestly, we don’t blame them; it’s kind of funny how the fanbases found kindred spirits in each other.

More importantly, though, Playboi Carti also shouted out other people for promoting this rollout. One of them– the most wholesome of these to see– was to YouTuber and Streamer Young Dabo, whose reaction videos to popular albums within the hip-hop realm and beyond have garnered him a lot of online love. In particular, the Atlanta native shared the social media star’s reaction to his newest song and music video, which is only available online as of writing this article. In a video posted to his IG Story, Dabo tearfully expressed his gratitude and happiness at finding out that one of his idols gave him a cosign.

Playboi Carti Shouts Out The Weeknd For Promoting His Rollout: “U Got Family”

by

Playboi Carti’s album rollout is fully underway, and that means he’s more online, grateful, and excited than ever. Moreover, he’s shared a lot of people shouting him out on social media, whether it be fellow artists, fans, industry folks, and the like. The latest to promote the “Pull Up” rapper’s new material is The Weeknd, who shared Carti’s new song and music video on his Instagram Story. Whatever I AM MUSIC ends up being (most likely an album), the culture is incredibly excited for it. He also shared reactions and promotions from Travis Scott, Ken Carson, NAV, and more, and even shared an unanswered DM to Frank Ocean about when he’s going to drop.

“You don’t need promotion when u got family 00X0,” Playboi Carti wrote when reposting Abel Tesfaye’s shout-out of this new song. Furthermore, this is a new snippet entirely, and is not the one that he shared just hours before that is a bit more aggressive. Rather, this track is a more woozy and dark offering from the Atlanta rage pioneer, with a delivery more akin to his more measured moments on Whole Lotta Red, which is most of what defined Die Lit. As such, we already have various things pointing us in the direction of various past aesthetics of his that he will probably develop even further.

Playboi Carti & The Weeknd Shout Each Other Out As “Family”

With this frenetic and unexpectedly consistent online activity in mind, we’re sure that Playboi Carti will have more for us as the wait for his next album draws on. So far, it’s proved to be a successful experiment, especially paired with other unbelievable musical miracles like a Frank Ocean snippet that came out around the same time. Is it possible that these two notoriously offline, mystique-shrouded, and tease-heavy artists coordinated to address their absence at the same time? It’s possible, but that also might just be the head-canon talking, even though that picture of their DMs surely made many people’s hearts skip a beat.

Regardless, what do you think of this new song and how fellow music superstars have promoted it? Are you looking forward to this new January release or was the wait too long for you to keep any hype? Let us know your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, stay posted on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti and The Weeknd.

Did Playboi Carti Diss OsamaSon? Fans Speculate After Alleged Sub On IG Story

by

Playboi Carti’s new social media activity once again has fans guessing at his every move. Now that we finally have confirmation that whatever I AM MUSIC is will come out very soon, fans are much happier to take him seriously online. Moreover, some die-hards speculated that the Atlanta rage icon might’ve dissed rising artist OsamaSon with his latest IG Story repost. It’s an old Young Thug tweet that reads, “Boy slow down dropping all that BS music…” and OsamaSon just came out with his new album Flex Musix. Did he go too far on this assessment or is he right to call out a lackluster release?

Regardless, there are way too many people who this tweet could apply to for us to really come to a solid conclusion on that. What’s more is that this could only really come up because people compare OsamaSon’s style to Playboi Carti’s and plenty of other artists’ sounds, too. As such, people are probably just stirring up the pot, and he probably didn’t mean to diss anyone in particular with this latest repost. After all, Carti probably wants us to focus much more on his upcoming releases, for which he recently teased a snippet of a new beat.

Playboi Carti Fans Theorize That He Dissed OsamaSon

Furthermore, we don’t have a lot of information on this next project, tour, fashion line… whatever I AM MUSIC really is. Of course, the main theory and expectation is a new album, and some aspects of this rollout are already similar to what Playboi Carti has done before. For example, just like with Whole Lotta Red, DJ Akademiks provided fans with an inside scoop of the project, saying that it’s coming out in January. In addition, this is quite close to that previous album’s Christmas release date, so it seems like this is just a great season for him to drop.

Meanwhile, what do you think happened with “King Vamp” and OsamaSon? Do you think this is just a diss, something to get us excited amid a new rollout, or that people are blowing this out of proportion? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts in the comments section down below. Also, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Playboi Carti.

Playboi Carti Shares New Snippet On Instagram: “IM NOT PLAYING”

by

Playboi Carti’s I AM MUSIC (or just Music? Who knows?) is finally upon us, and he is well-aware of what that anticipation means. Moreover, he recently shared a short instrumental snippet on Instagram along with a graphic that reads “IM NOT PLAYING.” As such, the Atlanta rage pioneer is probably very aware that he has been playing for the better part of three years now when it comes to his next album. In addition to reposting Tyler, The Creator DMs, old Young Thug tweets, and Pharrell cosigns, this is adding to some more prolific activity from him that fans are very happy to see. After all, Carti is usually radio-silent, and a lot of what we hear or see of him is through so many other means that aren’t himself.

Furthermore, let’s talk about this snippet, which might be part of this January drop for Playboi Carti. It’s nothing too special, to be honest: heavy and simple bass, a creepy and slightly Halloween-ish synth melody, a compressed snare, and rattling hi-hats. If anything, it’s like a fusion of the tempo and drum pattern that dominated Die Lit with the goth aesthetics of Whole Lotta Red. As such, we can’t really take a guess at what previous style this new release will imitate, but we hope that it’s none of the above and that Carti comes through with something new.

Playboi Carti Is “Not Playing” With This New Snippet: Listen

In addition to this new hype for I AM MUSIC, this follows previous promises and timeline changes in his career. For example, when Playboi Carti and the rest of Opium had to reschedule their European tour dates, he said that his album was coming soon, which we now have at least some confirmation of thanks to DJ Akademiks. It’s actually funny that there are a lot of similarities between this and WLR: a winter/Christmastime drop, DJ Akademiks with the inside scoop, and it doesn’t look like his aesthetics have changed all that much since then. We’d guess that the newest thing about this new release is that the “FE!N” MC will use more of the deep and warbly delivery he debuted on that song.

Meanwhile, as fans, we all have to be ready for this whole thing to fall apart at any second– and to be cognizant of his alleged abhorrent behavior. After all, with so many teases, apparent delays, and unfulfilled promises, fans are too hardened to let their guard down. So let’s hold out a healthy balance of skepticism and hope until we see something on our preferred DSPs. For more news and the latest updates on Playboi Carti, stick around on HNHH.
