Juice WRLD fans are expressing their dissatisfaction with the newly unveiled album cover for his posthumous album The Party Never Ends. The cover, designed by renowned Japanese artist Takashi Murakami, who is also known for his work on Kanye West’s Graduation album, has stirred controversy among Juice WRLD’s fanbase. The fans, particularly those from the “999 generation,” have criticized the artwork, accusing it of being disrespectful to Juice’s legacy, with some arguing that the alien-like representation of the late rapper is not something he would have approved of.
While Juice WRLD’s debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance also featured cartoony artwork, some fans feel that the new design doesn’t reflect the authenticity and depth they associate with his image and music. This December will mark the fifth anniversary of Juice WRLD’s tragic passing, and it seems his fans are particularly sensitive to anything they perceive as an insult to his memory.
This reaction highlights the emotional connection fans have with Juice WRLD’s legacy, as they feel protective over how he is represented posthumously.
