Justin Bieber put his stamp of approval on Playboi Carti‘s JB-name-dropping track "Like Weezy" from the rapper's latest album, Music. Bieber posted a since-expired Instagram Story of himself with "Like Weezy" playing over it.

He initially voiced his issue with Carti (born Jordan Carter) allegedly taking him off his Music album, and felt the “All Red” artist crossed the line when requesting vocals from West’s daughter North after Kim Kardashian posted the project to her Instagram Story.

Playboi Carti came to play with his new album Music. On Friday, the same day the rapper dropped his long-awaited third studio album, he also broke a Spotify record. The audio streaming giant shared on Saturday that Music became Spotify’s most-streamed album in a single day in 2025 so far.

MUSIC is the elusive rapper's first album in five years, but his presence has loomed heavy over hip-hop — and the fanbase whose ears he retuned for extremity.

Twenty minutes later, the show was back on, with the Weeknd crooning “Rather Lie” and “Timeless” surrounded by Carti’s Opium crew while pyro and chugging guitars flared around them. Carti fans come for the chaos — is the rest of the music industry ready for him on the A-list?

This is the era we live in now; we’re livestreaming events from the stage that are being streamed by the festival itself, while practically the entire crowd also streams. We’re in the information overload era, and Playboi Carti is the perfect artist for the moment.
