Future has been accused of biting Playboi Carti‘s style on his new Mixtape Pluto song “Plutoski.”
Reactions to the song has mostly focused on how much the Freebandz boss sounds like Carti on the track, which hears him make baby-voiced noises on the hook not unlike those the Whole Lotta Red rapper is famous for.
Many fans noted that Carti himself was recently accused of copying Future on his recent single “All Red,” on which he ditched his signature high-pitched cadence for a deeper, raspier voice reminiscent of the “March Madness” hitmaker.
One listener wrote on X (formerly Twitter): “Carti wanna sound like Future and Future wanna sound like Carti.”
Another commented: “So carti took futures flow then future took his right back??????”
A third user asked: “Did Carti and Future accidentally mix up albums,” while someone else joked that Future was “sneak dissing Carti’s baby voice for what he did on All Red.”
Future finally dropped Mixtape Pluto on Friday (September 20) followings months of teasers. It’s the Atlanta rap legend’s first solo mixtape in eight years after his storied run in the mid 2010s.
The project is also his third full-length release of 2024 following We Don’t Trust You and We Still Don’t Trust You, both of which were joint efforts with Metro Boomin.
Metro does not have any production on Mixtape Pluto, with producers such as Southside, Wheezy and ATL Jacob supplying the beats.
The 18-track tape is also an entirely solo affair from Future, despite speculation that Travis Scott would appear on the song “South of France.”

Future dedicated Mixtape Pluto to his late mentor and relative Rico Wade, who brought him into the famed Dungeon as an aspiring rapper.
“My cousin never died in my eyes.. Rico Wade u already know what u mean to me!” Hendrix wrote on X as the mixtape landed on streaming services. “I Thank the most high for blessin me with the greatest human being that it could Ever b! Billionaire status buz [watch] over us.”
Wade, who was one-third of thhe legendary production team Organized Noize and best known for his work with OutKast, Goodie Mob and others, passed away earlier this year at the age of 52.
