Fans expect Alchemist and Erykah Badu to abandon their collaborative album Abi & Alan on Friday (August 29). The project marks their first collaborative album and Badu’s first record in nearly a decade. The tape was highly anticipated and the rumbling of March surfaced.
But the moment before the expected arrival shows that it is not actually on the way. On Instagram Live, she said: “The Alchemist tells me to tell everyone that the album wasn’t played at midnight.”
In the subsequent live title, Mom’s gun creatively jokes about telling fans that they are angry with the producer, not her. “Don’t worry…no August 29…this is an alanthechemist error. [grinning face emoji]. ”
Please tell me what I said today.

If you follow me, you know when you can throw something away, I’ll be very clear about when it will be available.

Fans are expected to be upset by this disappointing update as they currently express frustration on social media. But the alchemist claims he never shared details about Abi & Alan.
“Please tell me anything I’m going to come out today,” he wrote in several tweets, replying that it looked like a formal press release from the people involved in the launch.
Its partly goes “During the tour, they will premiere only its collaborative album “Abi & Alan” – before the album hits the streaming platform on August 29.
The graphics even include Badu’s alleged offer. It reads: “I’m so glad to be able to share the music first.” “I’ve always been a performer and this time, I can introduce the work in the way I like the most.”
However, Uncle Al swears that this is something he has never posted. “It’s not mine. Show me where I’ve posted this lol place.” The same user admitted that he didn’t see it directly from Beat Smith, but thought it was legal and wrong for the artist.
To clear the air, the alchemist added, ““If you follow me, you know when it will fall, I will be very clear when it is available. ”
