In the next two years, some of Playboy Carti’s new singles were leaked onto the internet and reached tens of millions of streams. Carti officially released his first new track in April 2020, with the song “@Meh”, which peaked at number 35 on the Billboard 100. The next month, Carti was featured in Drake’s song “Pain 1993”.
