After months of playing games, Playboi Carti finally announced the release date for Whole Lotta Red, boasting an exciting new feature from Kid Cudi. Arriving Christmas Day, Carti took to social media to enthusiastically announce its release date on Tuesday. "AHhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I t0LD U ! I L0v3 u PRE 0RDeR NOW," he wrote on his socials. Along with announcing the release date and pre-order, Carti also unveiled an accompanying merch line for the project. While many fans were enthused, the line has landed the rapper in hot water with rock band Falling in Reverse who accused Carti of stealing an idea used for the band's own merch.
Ronnie Radke, the frontman of the alternative band, addressed the rapper in his Instagram stories, posting a screenshot of the garment in question, a black shirt with an inverted cross intended to look like Jesus' body. Written upside down on the shirt is "Falling in Reverse." "@playboicarti cease and desist mr rapper boi stop stealing," wrote the band's frontman.
