The Alchemist has denied that his Erykah Badu collaboration album was ever supposed to drop last week.
Most fans as well as Badu appeared to believe the project, titled Abi & Alan, was going to be released on Friday (August 29).
But now the legendary producer is denying that was ever the case.
He wrote on X: “Please show me where i said anything was coming out today.”
Please show me where i said anything was coming out today .

After fans posted receipts of Badu hyping the album, Alchemist replied: “This is not from me. Show me where i ever posted this lol.”
He added: “If you follow me, you know when i got something to drop i make it very clear when its available and where.”
His comments are especially confusing given Badu appeared to be under the impression the project was dropping last week.
In a video statement announcing a delay to the release of the highly anticipated album, she said: “The Alchemist told me to tell y’all the album is not dropping at midnight.”
A release date for the album has not yet been announced.
Badu and the legendary producer first teased a collab back in December 2024, when Alc posted a series of photos showing them in the lab.
He captioned the montage “Life altering,” but didn’t elaborate any further as to what they were working on.
The duo later made the album official back in March but details have been scarce about the content of the project.
Erykah Badu’s last studio album was March 2010’s New Amerykah Part Two (Return of the Ankh), which debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200. Later that year she released her first and only compilation album, Icon, and in 2015, she released her first and only mixtape, But You Caint Use My Phone.
Since then, the elusive artist has only jumped on a handful of features – most recently being Rapsody‘s Grammy Award-winning “3:AM.”
The track is an ode to the joys of late night love and features both artists paying homage to the people that make them feel best.
The duo first performed the song together at Badu’s 53rd birthday celebrations in Dallas last February.
look its not 2001. ain’t no body looking for this. how about dropping it in 4025.
I essentially make about $9,000-$13,000 every month on the web. It’s sufficient to serenely supplant my old employments pay, particularly considering I just work around 10-13 hours every week from home. I was stunned how simple it was after I attempted it duplicate underneath web…..

No truer words have ever been spoken. Literally nobody gives a fuck about this nutcase. She’s in the same washed up has been category as Lauryn Hill, Faith Evans, Mary J. Blige etc, only nowhere near as big.
Ignore James, he seems not to know good music or good grammar. This album is very much expected
Its annoying as shit when the people collabing on a project are not on the same page and they start pointing fingers at each other. Stfu and drop the shit before nobody gives a fuck
guarantee it goes double plastic and will be a weed plate after a week.
