Playboi Carti is being trolled because his “ex” Lil Uzi Vert dropped his album, while “Whole Lotta Red” remains missing.
Back in November, . Uzi and Carti rose to prominence simultaneously and, essentially, hand-in-hand. They collaborated frequently and were often spotted together. They were the leading duo of the new school, sharing rockstar aesthetics and experimental inclinations. Learning that their friendship dissolved was a tough pill to swallow, one that made their overlapping fanbases nostalgic for a more joyous time.
As is often the case, sadness over these circumstances has translated into anger. Now that has released his long-awaited sophomore album Eternal Atake, fans are lashing out at Carti for not following suit with his own long-awaited sophomore album, Whole Lotta Red. If you go to Carti’s last Instagram post – a fit pic from eight weeks ago – you can see that the comments sections is being flooded by frustrated fans. Most of the harassment echoes the same complaint: Your “ex” dropped and you haven’t. What are you gonna do about it?

Other people weren’t trying to fuel a feud between the two rappers by getting Carti to drop his opposing project, but were hoping that he would hop on the deluxe version of Eternal Atake. , but when asked about the possibility of Carti appearing, he claimed he didn’t even know where he was. “I hope you ft with uzi rn…” wrote a fan.
