I think it is a combination of both promotion and product. I think a lot of people do not realize that Fantasia's numbers are pretty spot on with expectations and are quick to label an album a "flop" even though it met expectations. Fantasia stays in her lane and whenever she tries to go out of her lane it does not turn out well. For example, her "All Lives Matter" concert and stance was a huge mistake. I thought the two singles should have just been buzz songs and a better song like "I Made It", "Rollercoasters", or "When I Met You" should have been put out as a single.

Outside of that, Fantasia has always been missing crossover appeal. Maybe that is what she is unsuccessfully attempting to do (her ghetto-ness shines to loud for her to cross over or be looked at like a polished pop star). I think if Fantasia stayed in her land she could have exceeded expectations and maybe did 45K opening week.
