NBA YoungBoy’s fans are in an uproar, and it’s not just because they’re craving new music—it’s because they were promised a Thanksgiving treat that never arrived. Imagine waking up on Black Friday, only to realize the highly anticipated album Slime Cry was nowhere to be found. Yes, the same NBA YoungBoy who dominated 2025 with his album MASA and a massive tour has left his fanbase hanging, and they’re not taking it lightly.
After a year filled with new singles, collaborations, and chart-topping success, fans were counting on Slime Cry as the cherry on top of their holiday season. But here’s where it gets controversial: as of Friday, November 28, the album is MIA, with no explanation from YoungBoy or his team. Die-hard fans, who had their plates ready for a Thanksgiving feast paired with fresh tunes, are now venting their frustration online. One fan even tweeted, “Thanks for ruining my Thanksgiving @GGYOUNGBOY. I’ve had my plate in the fridge for over 6 hours waiting for this drop. Fk you, Kentrell.” Ouch.
And this is the part most people miss: NBA YoungBoy’s prolific output has set a high bar for his fans. With his ability to release music at lightning speed, the delay of Slime Cry feels like a betrayal. But is it a delay, a cancellation, or something else entirely? At press time, no one knows—not even the journalists covering the story. Could YoungBoy be perfecting a diss track for the album? Or is he simply taking a well-deserved break after a massive year? We can only speculate.
The bigger question is: Does an artist owe their fans an explanation when a release doesn’t drop as promised? While some argue that transparency is key, others believe YoungBoy’s track record speaks for itself. After all, he’s delivered consistently throughout the year. But for fans who planned their holiday around this release, the silence is deafening.
As we wait for updates, one thing is clear: Slime Cry will eventually drop—whether it’s next week, next Friday, or sometime in the distant future. Until then, fans are left wondering: What’s the holdup? And more importantly, will it be worth the wait? Let us know your thoughts in the comments—do you think YoungBoy owes his fans an explanation, or should we just trust the process?
