Moneybagg Yo has promised that his new album is coming very soon. Like many artists, the rapper has taken a break between albums. However, this means that his fans have been clamoring for an update on new material. During an Instagram live video, Moneybagg Yo said that his album is coming soon and that it’s “real close”. Despite these claims, no release date has yet been revealed for his forthcoming album. So far, we know that the album will be titled Hard To Love and will have 22 tracks.
Moneybagg Yo’s previous album, his fourth, was released in 2021. Titled A Gangsta’s Pain, the album garnered fairly favorable reviews. It also peaked at number 1 on the Billboard Hot 100 and has since been certified platinum. Given the state of the industry, being certified platinum is actually a pretty big deal these days. In fact, Moneybagg Yo has plenty of platinum certifications, and has even gone as far as referring to himself as a “certified hitmaker.” So, it’s safe to say that his label will take its time to make sure the release of his forthcoming album is done right.
Album Announcement Met With Negative Reactions
Now, just because someone goes platinum doesn’t mean they are without their fair share of haters. In fact, it likely means they’ll be hated on even more. Take one look at the comment section on the announcement and you will see some absolutely brutal reactions. The top comment reads “i don’t think anybody cares lmao.” Scroll only slightly further down, and you’ll see more of the same type of comments. “Literally no one ever has said ‘man I can’t wait for a Moneybagg yo album’,” one comment says. “Just drop it bro we know ain’t gonna be that good regardless,” remarked another.
That’s not to suggest that Moneybagg Yo doesn’t have supporters. Look at the comments further, and you’ll discover fans that are already calling Hard To Love the “album of the year.” That’s some pretty high praise considering it’s only March, and there are 8 months’ worth of releases left this year for him to contend with. Still, not just anyone can get certified platinum as many times as he has in this day and age, which means Moneybagg Yo must be doing something right.
