JID’s “God Does Like Ugly” lived up to expectations.

Just as we all thought, JID is HIM. His latest release, God Does Like Ugly, earned a massive 8.8 million streams on Spotify in its first 24 hours, marking the biggest opening day of his career. For an artist already celebrated for razor-sharp lyricism and intricate flows, this milestone signals a major moment in his ascent through the rap ranks.

The project’s opening day success wasn’t driven by one breakout hit alone — multiple tracks are pulling big numbers right out of the gate. Leading the charge is “YouUgly” with 1.3M streams, followed closely by “Community” (1.237M), “Glory” (1.231M), “Gz” (1.07M), and “On McAfee” (1.05M). The strong performance across multiple songs speaks to the album’s depth and replay value.

While JID has long been a critics’ favorite, God Does Like Ugly is shaping up to be a commercial breakthrough, bridging his trademark wordplay with accessible, playlist-ready production. It’s the kind of release that not only satisfies core fans but also hooks new listeners discovering his artistry for the first time.

With this record-breaking debut, JID’s momentum shows no signs of slowing down. God Does Like Ugly isn’t just his most-streamed launch — it’s a statement that the Atlanta MC is stepping into a new era, one where his artistry and commercial impact are moving in lockstep.
