Playboi Carti may not have appeared on Adin Ross’ livestream for very long, but he used his time to deliver an important message about his upcoming project.
On Sunday night (February 4), the Atlanta rapper joined the 23-year-old on Kick after performing with Travis Scott at the Grammys.

Ross asked Carti about his upcoming album, which he has been teasing for months.
“Mindblowing,” he responded succinctly. “My best. My very best — it’s actually insane.”

The brevity of Ross’ exchange with Carti, which lasted for all of six minutes, upset at least one viewer: 21 Savage. Ross visibly handed Carti a big bag of money during the short stream, which shocked the American Dream hitmaker.
He confronted the streamer soon after on a phone call and asked: “$2 million, bro?!”
Ross, however, denied that was the full amount that Carti was paid, but that didn’t stop the British-born rapper from continuing with: “Why the fuck you ain’t pay me, bro? That’s crazy, bro. I ain’t gonna lie, bro, that’s fucked up, bro.”
When he continued to deny that Carti was paid for his appearance, the “No Heart” rapper countered: “I just seen you give him a bag of cash.”

The streamer then tried to convince 21 that they would make money together but the rapper wasn’t having it, commenting: “Bro, we gotta have a talk when I see you.”
The contentious exchange came shortly after 21 appeared on Adin Ross’ show last week to much online controversy after the two began gambling.
The Atlanta rapper allegedly tried to scam Ross for $120,000 over a high-stakes dice game after he was caught using what appeared to be marked cards. When Ross noticed that he had been scammed after inspecting the cards they played with, 21 Savage denied having any prior knowledge of the markings.

Ross addressed the chat after showing the rap star the marked cards, saying: “Listen, I’ma be honest, chat, they’re not his cards. I know he’s not gonna do that to me.”
Savage later paid Ross $250,000, but some fans think it was a publicity stunt as the rapper began selling cards and dice on his website shortly after.
