Nope, and you're right, but I can see why it went that way.

We had:

Bad Boys (1995)
Bad Boys II (2003)
Bad Boys For Life (2020)
Bad Boys: Ride or Die (2024)

Bad Boys 4 Life would've of course been a perfect name for a fourth movie, but after 17 years between movies (and Martin Lawrence not really being in much of anything in the ten years prior), I think they saw the third as a "last send off" type of movie that would've been a niche favorite at best. When it turned in to a surprise hit (a January release grossing over $200M domestic is almost unheard of) and Martin Lawrence stayed in shape, they wanted to keep it going, so here we are, forever robbed of Bad Boys 4 being Bad Boys 4 Life. Oh well!
