NBA YoungBoy appeared ready to close out 2025 with another major moment following the release of MASA and his massive tour. But what was supposed to be a celebratory day for fans turned into confusion. The rapper previously announced that his new album Slime Cry would arrive on Friday, November 28. When the date arrived and the project didn’t, fans expressed disappointment across social media.
Many die-hard listeners woke up expecting the release, only to find no new album and no explanation. As of now, there’s still no official statement about whether the delay was intentional, accidental, or part of a last-minute change behind the scenes. Given YoungBoy’s prolific output and his steady run of singles and collaborations throughout the MASA era, fans are holding out hope that Slime Cry could still drop soon.
Some fans voiced their frustration online, including one who joked that they had been saving their Thanksgiving plate “for over 6 hours” just to listen to the album while they ate. Others simply want clarity on when to expect the new project.
Questions are circulating about whether the album might arrive at another time today, next week, or next Friday. For now, there’s no confirmed update regarding timings.
Outside of the release confusion, YoungBoy has also been dealing with fresh tension. NLE The Great, formerly known as NLE Choppa, recently dropped a diss track aimed at him, leading fans to speculate about whether YoungBoy will respond. His recent comments have been vague, leaving the situation unresolved.
Despite the unexpected delay, YoungBoy’s strong year remains intact. Supporters are hopeful that Slime Cry will arrive soon, whether as a surprise drop or with a proper announcement.
