Despite being released by one of hip hop's most popular labels, Perfect Timing was poorly promoted and failed commercially, only reaching 195 on the Billboard 200, dropping off the chart after only one week. The album's lead single was a collaboration with Lil' Wayne entitled "Ain't It Man", however the single failed to reach the Billboard charts.[3] According to Gotti, the album sold around 80,000 copies as of 2015 in the U.S.
