**Baddie** (stylized in all caps) is the debut studio album by Baddie Toni. It was released on August 6, 2022, by Moldovia Records. The album's lead single "YUH" was released on June 28, 2022. All of tracks were produced by Gulkesbergen. The album was originally named "Yassified" but it was later changed to "Baddie".

After signing a 10-year contract with Moldovia Records, he collaborated with Gulkesbergen and started working on his debut album. During this period he released his debut single "Tududu", however, his song received negative reviews from the critics. After releasing the final remix of "Tududu" on June 26, 2022, Baddie Toni and his record label began teasing the album by spreading the word "Baddie Toni 8.6.22". The Pre-Order of the album begans on July 4, 2022. The album was unfortunately leaked on early July 2022.

## **Commercial performance**

In its first week, "BADDIE" debuts at #2 in the Moldovia Top Albums, it was blocked by Beyoncé's "RENAISSANCE", in which at the time spends its second week on the #1 spot. It then freefalls to #7 in its second week, partly because of the album's lack of streams, then it falls to #10 the next week.

After the released of the deluxe version, "BADDIE" skyrocketed to the #1 spot in its fourth week, dethroning "RENAISSANCE" by Beyoncé. It ended up spending three weeks on the top spot.

## **Controversy**

After Baddie Minor announced her debut album, Baddie Toni sued her for copyright infringement claiming the concept of her album copied his debut single "Tududu", the lawsuit was later dismissed by the judge with no clear winners.

Due to copyright reasons, "Yassified" and its remixed version was removed from the standard edition of the album.

## **Critical reception**

Unfortunately, *Baddie* received negative reviews from critics. Melia commented that she anticipated that the album was comparable to Enhypen's, but she was disappointed when she heard the leaks and that the album should flop.
