Carti – real name Jordan Carter – is no stranger to controversy, but the release of MUSIC sparked an altogether new debate. Fans began to suspect the presence of AI vocals throughout the long-awaited album; specifically alleging Carti used AI to mimic his own voice, with some suggesting that The Weeknd’s feature verses may have been altered too.

Playboi Carti showed some love to Kim Kardashian‘s Skims on his new Music album, and the shapewear brand shout-out made it onto the reality mogul's radar. Kardashian returned the favor by reposting Carti's "Fine Sh–" lyrics to her Instagram Story on Monday (March 17).

Playboi Carti came to play with his new album Music. On Friday, the same day the rapper dropped his long-awaited third studio album, he also broke a Spotify record. The audio streaming giant shared on Saturday that Music became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far.
