Though Offset were still remained in custody, forcing Migos to cancel their tour, that would assure that the Y.R.N.: Tha Album will be ready for the release date of June 16, 2015.[4][5] However, the album was eventually being pushed back to July 31, 2015.[6] The album title was then changed from Y.R.N.: Tha Album to Yung Rich Nation, along with the cover art being changed as well, however, the release date was not.[7]
