2 April, 2025

Playboi Carti and Ariana Grande are battling for another week at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. Carti took to social media on Tuesday night (April 1) and quoted some of his Music lyrics about his plans of “goin’ three for three” atop the charts.

“F–k it, I’m goin’ three for three,” he raps on “MOJO JOJO.” He followed up the IG Story post with a photo of Ariana Grande.

Fans were surprised to see Carti post Grande as he sent social media into a frenzy. “CARTIANA FANS STAND UP,” one fan of both artists wrote to X.

Carti has gone back-to-back weeks owning the top spot on the Billboard 200 coming off the release of Music, but Grande entered the mix with the arrival of her eternal sunshine deluxe: better days ahead on Friday (March 28).

The Atlanta rapper released his long-awaited Music album on March 14 and the set debuted at No. 1 with 298,000 album-equivalent units earned as all 30 tracks landed on the Billboard Hot 100.

He added another four previously released tracks to streaming services packaged in the form of the Music – Sorry 4 Da Wait deluxe.

Weeks later, Carti still occupies 10 slots on the Hot 100, including nine Music cuts and “Timeless” with The Weeknd. He’s also been teasing the release of Baby Boi, which appears to be his next project.

Grande released her Eternal Sunshine album in March 2024, and the LP debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 227,000 units earned. Just over a year later, the pop star returned with the six-track deluxe, which boasts fan-favorites “Twilight Zone” and the heartbreaking ballad “Hampstead.”

As for Carti, he spent his April Fool’s Day hanging with his supposed girlfriend, Giovanna Ramos, as the couple was spotted courtside at the Atlanta Hawks game.

King Vamp is set to join The Weeknd on his After Hours Til Dawn Tour, which will invade stadiums across North America starting on May 9 in Arizona.
