Juice WRLD’s Management Says Over 1,000 Of His Songs Leaked Before ‘The Party Never Ends’: “It Became Very Distasteful”
Juice WRLD’s final posthumous album, The Party Never Ends, finally has a release date: Nov. 29. The project will hit streaming services with lead single “AGATS2 (Insecure)” featuring Nicki Minaj, as well as “Misfits” and the Offset-assisted “Celebrate.”
Ahead of the LP, the Chicago artist’s managers, Peter “Pete” Jideonwo and Lil Bibby, spoke with Variety about the difficult road of getting there, especially with all of the leaks. Legends Never Die and Fighting Demons faced similar roadblocks, though many of the unauthorized releases winded up making the final cut.
“The stock of his music became exceedingly high,” Jideonwo told the publication, estimating that over 800 songs hit the internet without Grade A Productions’ permission. Lil Bibby, on the other hand, argued that the number was more than 1,000.
“The real problem became the integrity of the producers and the studios and friends and people that had access to [the music],” they said. “It became very distasteful.”
The official tracklist is expected to arrive at a later date, likely to avoid the aforementioned issues that Juice WRLD’s team had with previous albums. “AGATS2 (Insecure),” short for “All Girls Are the Same 2,” came out on Nov. 15.
Regarding the collaboration, Minaj said, “We are grateful and honored. This song is immaculate. So excited to share this with all of you. Long live Juice WRLD.” She went on to add, “Your talent, aura, legacy, technique, sound and ability to create melodies and cadences on the perfect beat to match your rare, rich, raw and dynamic voice will forever be unmatched. I love you so much. We miss you so much.”
On Nov. 30, a day after The Party Never Ends launches, fans will have the chance to partake in the fourth and final Juice WRLD Day. Special guests are also set to appear at the event, which will take place at Chicago’s United Center.
Nicki Minaj Teases New Single That’s So Good She “Can’t Put [It] Into Words”
Nicki Minaj is dropping new music on Friday (Nov. 15), she revealed via X on Wednesday (Nov. 13). The “Everybody” artist claimed the forthcoming record, which has no title or artwork at the time of reporting, is something “every single Barb will love” alongside a countdown.
“Can’t stop listening to it. [It] does something to my psyche in the best way possible. [It] puts you in a zone that you wanna stay in,” Minaj teased during a Q&A with fans on the social media platform. She further detailed, “It’s the best music. It’s the kind of music you can’t put into words.”
In terms of what listeners can expect sonically, the Queens rapper described it as a combination of Pink Friday and Beam Me Up Scotty, the latter of which made its way to DSPs some years ago with some additional tracks.
Minaj also confirmed the forthcoming single would not be tied to Pink Friday 2 (The Hiatus), slated to hit streaming services on Dec. 13. The project was announced to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the original album, which housed fan favorites like “FTCU,” “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” and “Big Difference,” to name a few.
The musician previously mentioned that the aforementioned effort would mark the “final deluxe,” having already put out Gag City Deluxe and Gag City PLUTO Edition versions of the body of work. Though she hasn’t provided many details, it’s likely listeners can expect one to two new records or even more.
In September, Minaj claimed that adding five to seven songs felt “a little sloppy.” She told her followers, “After much thought, I want to be for certain that I am being intentional about every single decision being made around both PF2 and [Pink Friday 3].” However, it’s still up in the air whether the previously teased “Mamita” and the tentative “Anxiety” will make their way to the deluxe or her later LP.
