Watch the music video for the lead single, “FEFE”, above.

After the rapper was arrested on charges of racketeering, however, his camp announced that the album would be delayed indefinitely. “Due to circumstances beyond our control,” read the post, “We have postponed the release of Tekashi 6ix9ine’s Dummy Boy until further notice.” Then, on November 24, the album was mysteriously uploaded to 6ix9ine’s official website with a link to purchase. The link was taken down shortly afterwards. The rapper was reportedly disappointed by the leak, which reportedly led to his decision to release the album on Tuesday.

6ix9ine told DJ Akademiks He Was ‘Disappointed’ By the Album Leak on Nov. 24

“Tekashi 6ix9ine album DUMMY BOY will be officially released in a few hours to all major outlets,” DJ Akademiks tweeted on Tuesday morning. “This is the decision of Tekashi himself who despite being disappointed about his leak & his current situation wants his fans to enjoy his music. He says he loves and misses his fans.”

While it is still unclear how the album was leaked, or who did the leaking, Newsweek reports that one of Dummy Boy’s producers may have uploaded it. Murda Beatz, who worked with 6ix9ine on “FEFE”, recently teased the album’s artwork on Instagram with the caption, “I HAVE THE ALBUM SHOULD I…” Fans have pointed to this post, which features the presumed album artwork, as proof that Murda Beatz, is responsible. It has since been deleted from Murda Beatz’s account.
