NBA YoungBoy fans have been eagerly anticipating the release of his upcoming album, Slime Cry, but recent developments have dampened those hopes. The rapper, who has been prolific in 2025 with singles, features, and a solo tour, initially promised to deliver this highly awaited project by the end of the year.
After teasing his followers for weeks, YoungBoy announced that Slime Cry would drop on Black Friday, November 28. However, when fans stayed up late for the release, they were met with disappointment. Social media was flooded with frustrated comments, with one user lamenting, “Thanks for ruining my thanksgiving @GGYOUNGBOY,” and another expressing their dismay, saying, “I’ve had my plate in the fridge for over 6 hours in hopes of you dropping tonight so I can eat while simultaneously blessing my ears with slime cry. F*ck you Kentrell.”
After the missed release date, YoungBoy took to social media to address the situation, posting on X, “Oh you want my album I forgot, Loading…,” but the uncertainty surrounding the album continued to grow.
In a recent Instagram post, YoungBoy delivered a heartbreaking update that cast further doubt on the album’s release, stating, “Slime cry ‘I don’t think loading’ 😔.” While this news is disheartening for many fans, the comments on his post revealed that not everyone was upset; instead, many supporters responded with fire emojis, possibly showing their appreciation for his ongoing content.
Despite the setback regarding Slime Cry, 2025 has been an impressive year for the 26-year-old artist. He has successfully completed a headlining tour across the U.S. and released two projects, including Make America Slime Again, which debuted on July 25. This album marked his return following a challenging prison stint and stirred controversy for its dedication to Donald Trump, who pardoned him in late May. Additionally, YoungBoy released a joint tape hosted by DJ Khaled titled DESHAWN, although it didn’t perform well on the charts.
As fans await further updates on Slime Cry, they can still enjoy the music YoungBoy has produced this year, keeping their hopes alive for his next project.
