Entering 2013, Wale was preparing the release of his third studio album. Initially, there was not much information about the album. But, Wale had a mixtape track called “Bad” that was doing well. Soon, Wale decided to build his third album around this song.

Now, The Gifted is known as the upcoming third album from Wale. The popular mixtape song, “Bad,” is the first single released. “Bad” has done incredibly well over the past few months and Tiara Thomas has become a major star. But, Wale ended up replacing her with Rihanna.
