Artwork
The mixtape's artwork presents an animated version of Quando and YoungBoy with blue and green bandanas tied to a street sign making references to each of their gang affiliations. YoungBoy — on the left-hand side — has a "38" on the street sign, making a reference to the North 38th St in Baton Rouge, Louisiana; the street on which YoungBoy had grown up.{{Cite web|date=2022-03-13 |title=Fans Find NBA YoungBoy On Google Maps At His Louisiana Home |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/402863-fans-find-nba-youngboy-on-google-maps-at-his-louisiana-home-news |access-date=2022-11-19 |website=HotNewHipHop}} The street was also used as inspiration for YoungBoy's other mixtapes, 38 Baby and 38 Baby 2. The green flag tied to the street sign references the colors of YoungBoy's 4KTrey gang.{{Cite web|date=2022-01-13 |title=O-Block Gangsters Burn 4KT Green Flags After NBA YoungBoy Diss |url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/390542-o-block-gangsters-burn-4kt-green-flags-after-nba-youngboy-diss-news |access-date=2022-11-19|website=HotNewHipHop}} The reference regarding the green flags have also been used as inspiration for Never Broke Again's compilation, Green Flag Activity.{{Cite web|date=2022-06-10|title=YoungBoy Never Broke Again Drops New Compilation Mixtape ‘Green Flag Activity’ With Never Broke Again Collective |url=https://www.complex.com/music/youngboy-never-broke-again-collective-green-flag-activity-new-compilation-mixtape |access-date=2022-11-19 |website=Complex}} Quando — on the right-hand side — has a "60" on the street sign, making a direct reference to the Rollin' 60s Neighborhood Crips which Quando has both rapped about and spoken about his affiliation with.{{Cite web|date=2020-11-20|title=Quando Rondo Appears to Respond to King Von’s Murder on New Song "End of Story"|url=https://www.xxlmag.com/quando-rondo-end-of-story-king-von-murder-new-song/ |access-date=2022-11-19 |website=XXL}} The blue bandana also makes a direct reference to the Crips as they're heavily associated with the color blue.
Controversy
According to reports, Quando Rondo dissed Lil Durk, King Von, and their respective association with gangs, most particularly in the first verse of the mixtape's fifth cut, "Want Me Dead."{{cite web|url=https://hiphopdx.com/news/quando-rondo-king-von-diss-nba-youngboy-3860|title=QUANDO RONDO DISSES KING VON ON NBA YOUNGBOY '3860' COLLAB ALBUM|last=Bustard|first=Andy|work=HipHopDX|date=November 25, 2022|access-date=November 26, 2022}} Quando begins his verse by taking shots at both King Von and his sister Kayla B, otherwise known as Kayla Bennett as he rapped: "Ha, my favorite opp dead, sister talk too much, no, I don't like the bitch/Lul Timmy rolled her brother up, got stepped on in some Nike kicks." The lyric refers to Von as his "favorite opp" and states that Von's sister, Kayla, talks too much, referring to several of her past interviews in which she speaks about the murder of her brother.{{cite web|url=https://www.xxlmag.com/quando-rondo-disses-king-von-want-me-dead-song/|title=Quando Rondo Trends on Twitter After People Think He Disses King Von on New Song ‘Want Me Dead’ With YoungBoy Never Broke Again|last=Fitzgerald|first=Trent|work=XXL|date=November 25, 2022|access-date=November 26, 2022}} Quando further goes into detail about the night of Von's murder as "Timmy," otherwise known as Lul Timm, the solo guest appearance on the mixtape is the alleged murderer of King Von.{{cite web|url=https://eu.savannahnow.com/story/news/2021/03/29/savannah-man-charged-murder-chicago-rapper-king-von-released-bond-jail-free-lul-lil-tim-quando-rondo/7050322002/|title=Savannah man charged with murder in Chicago rapper King Von’s death released on $100,000 bond|last1=Peebles|first1=Will|last2=Gilbert|first2=Asha C.|work=Savannah Morning News|date=March 29, 2021|access-date=November 26, 2022}} The diss received a mixed number of response from fans, many taunting Quando about the death of his friend Lul Pabb, others advocating the violent lyrics.{{cite web|url=https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/quando-rondo-breaks-silence-lul-pabs-shooting-1234688534/|title=Quando Rondo Mourns Death Of Friend, Lul Pab, After L.A.

Furthermore, on the day of the project's release, Quando and YoungBoy received mild backlash from fans after there was a lack of promotion, this was soon followed by a response from YoungBoy where he stated that he and Quando had come to a mutual agreement to not release the project, however, Atlantic Records had gone behind the two artists' back and released the mixtape, uploading it to YoungBoy's official YouTube channel: I had to tell Quando don't nobody care as long as they making dollars off you I've begged for that tape to not be Released and quando respected my wishes/I talk to missionaries everyday inside my home who probably gone ask me about that tape that shit not sitting on top of my heart right but pay attention to what these people promote they are even and don't give a fuck about us."{{cite web|url=https://www.xxlmag.com/nba-youngboy-reveals-quando-rondo-3860-drop/|title=YoungBoy Never Broke Again Reveals He Didn’t Want Joint Quando Rondo Project 3860 to Drop|author=XXL Staff|work=XXL|date=November 25, 2022|access-date=November 30, 2022}}{{cite web|url=https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/602463-nba-youngboy-didnt-want-quando-rondo-3860-project-released|title=NBA YoungBoy Didn’t Want Quando Rondo "3860" Project Released|last=Marie|first=Erika|work=HotNewHipHop|date=November 25, 2022|access-date=November 30, 2022}} The release had led to YoungBoy deleting the mixtape from his YouTube channel as he disapproved of the lyrics after stating that he wants to "stop the violence."{{cite web|url=https://www.vibe.com/music/music-news/nba-youngboy-500-turkeys-1234714098/|title=NBA YoungBoy’s Team Donates 500 Turkeys In His Hometown|last=Corrine|first=Amber|work=Vibe|date=November 23, 2022|access-date=November 30, 2022}}
