City Girls were supposed to drop their third studio album on July 29, but fans will have to wait a little bit longer to hear new music from the Miami, Florida duo.

On Tuesday (July 19), Yung Miami hopped on Instagram Live to chat with her devoted fans when one of them asked about the status of the new album. According to Caresha, “issues” got in the way of the planned release.

“The album was supposed to drop July 29, but it’s not dropping because we had some issues — not issues, but you know, when you dropping an album, you have to make sure everything is good,” she explained.

JT offered a more definitive explanation behind the album delay when she hopped on Twitter early Wednesday morning (July 20). “Our album NOT finished!!!! TF ….,” she stressed.

JT’s frustration may have come from fans claiming the City Girls’ label, Quality Control, pushed the album back to avoid a showdown with Beyoncé, who will be dropping her seventh studio album Renaissance on July 29.
