On June 22, 2017, Jean released the first single from the album, titled "Fela Kuti",[5] along with another song, titled "What Happened to Love".[6] On July 14, 2017, Wyclef released the "Fela Kuti" official lyric video.[7]

Critical reception

Mai Perkins of Pop Magazine wrote in a positive review, "Carnival 3 is right on time. Wyclef’s songwriting is ripe with empowerment and resilience. The album is a concise 12-track body of work with a handful of features and tributes to the likes of Fela Kuti as well as to the hallmarks of hip-hop."[3] Mr. Wavvy of Cult MTL offered a negative critique, describing the album as "a cheap nostalgia cash-in".[1]
