    Lil Baby Speaks Out Over Song Leaks Amid Album Delay

    The Atlanta rapper frustrated as fans continue to share unreleased tracks online

    Atlanta rap sensation Lil Baby has voiced his frustration on social media after more of his unreleased music surfaced online. The rapper took to X (formerly Twitter), writing, “Damn yall just gone keep leaking my songs!!”, expressing clear annoyance at the ongoing issue.

    While Lil Baby didn’t specify which songs were leaked, the post comes as anticipation builds for his upcoming album Dominique, which was initially slated for release in February. The project has yet to officially drop, leaving fans eagerly awaiting its arrival.

    Lil Baby, born Dominique Jones, previously hinted that this album would explore a more personal and introspective side of his life—signaling a potential shift in tone from his earlier work. With Dominique being named after his real first name, many speculated that the album would offer a deeper glimpse into the rapper’s upbringing, struggles, and growth.

    Despite the delays and unauthorized leaks, fans remain excited, though the leaks may further complicate plans for a proper rollout. As of now, there is no confirmed release date for Dominique, but the rapper’s comments make it clear that the leaks are both frustrating and potentially disruptive.

  • Lil Baby Reacts to TikTok’s Swift Return After Ban

    Lil Baby Reacts to TikTok’s Swift Return After Ban

    The rapper shares his confusion as the social media platform is back online after just hours of being banned in the U.S.

    Lil Baby took to Twitter to express his bafflement at TikTok’s swift return after a ban in the United States seemed imminent. “Tik tok came right back ,, yall ready to fold under pressure [facepalm emoji],” he wrote, leaving many wondering if he was addressing users who expected the platform’s permanent shutdown, the government’s role in the ban, or TikTok itself for quickly resuming service. It’s unclear who Lil Baby was really directing his frustration towards, but given his tweet, it’s likely he’s reacting to the unexpected rapid resolution.

    TikTok issued a statement on the matter, thanking President Trump for providing clarity, which allowed service providers to resume offering TikTok to U.S. users. The platform emphasized the importance of protecting First Amendment rights and the millions of small businesses that rely on TikTok’s services.

    In other news, Lil Baby also reflected on his 2022 album It’s Only Me, revealing that he wasn’t truly satisfied with it at the time of its release. “I didn’t even want to put It’s Only Me out at the time, because I wasn’t ready,” he told Complex. Lil Baby shared that he felt pressure from his label and wasn’t in the right headspace, which led to him creating music that didn’t resonate deeply with him.

    With both the TikTok saga and his thoughts on his album in the mix, it seems Lil Baby is navigating some complex feelings about things that happen when outside pressures and expectations collide with personal desires. Whether TikTok’s return is something he can personally connect with, or just another example of the constant shifts in the entertainment industry, it’s clear that both the rapper and many others are still trying to figure out what’s next for the platform and their own creative output.



  • Lil Baby Accused of Inflating Weed Strain Sales as ‘WHAM’ Dominates the Charts

    Lil Baby Accused of Inflating Weed Strain Sales as ‘WHAM’ Dominates the Charts

    $30M or Smoke and Mirrors? Fans Skeptical of Lil Baby’s Cannabis Revenue Claims

    Lil Baby is under scrutiny after his cannabis brand, The Holding Company, claimed to have earned a staggering $30.4 million from the sales of his new weed strain, WHAM. The graphic, shared by the rapper’s brand on January 14, touted over 327,000 orders since the strain’s launch at the start of the year. However, fans quickly took to social media to dispute the figures, pointing out inconsistencies in the graphic’s formatting and the unrealistic numbers.

    Commenters on Akademiks’ repost of the claim were quick to point out the alleged discrepancies, with one person remarking, “This isn’t a real Shopify screenshot.” Others questioned the math, claiming the figures didn’t add up with the product’s prices and quantities.

    Despite the controversy surrounding his cannabis line, Lil Baby’s music continues to soar. His latest album, WHAM, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart for the week ending January 18, surpassing heavyweights like Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar. The LP features collaborations with major artists, including Travis Scott, Future, and Young Thug.

    Fans can expect more from Baby soon as he prepares to release Dominique, a more personal follow-up album, in the coming weeks.

    Lil Baby Denies Dissing Gunna on ‘Runnin’ This Shit’

    Baby Clears the Air About Alleged Shots at His Former Collaborator

    Lil Baby has denied taking a shot at Gunna on his latest track, “Runnin’ This Shit,” from his WHAM deluxe album. Speaking to Complex, the rapper clarified that specific lyrics weren’t aimed at Gunna despite fans speculating otherwise. When asked about his pointed lines, Baby explained: “That’s just how I rap. I hate that they try to make narratives out of shit I say. I say what I want to say. If I was speaking on certain people and shit, I would say that.”

    The song features the line, “I don’t care what he did, he a rat still / And I said what I said, don’t at me,” which many fans took as a reference to Gunna, who faced snitching allegations after pleading out of the YSL RICO case in 2022.

    Although the lyrics were widely interpreted as a diss, Baby maintained that they weren’t meant specifically for Gunna. Their strained relationship has been evident, with Baby previously calling Gunna a “rat” in 2023 and making it clear in interviews that they don’t have a relationship anymore.

    Gunna’s attorney, however, has continued to assert that Gunna didn’t cooperate with prosecutors in the YSL case, claiming that his plea deal didn’t involve any damaging testimony against Young Thug.

    Lil Baby has revealed that he was not fully satisfied with his 2022 album It’s Only Me, despite its commercial success. In a recent cover story for Complex, the rapper admitted to feeling pressured by his record label to release the project when he wasn’t mentally prepared for it. “I didn’t even want to put It’s Only Me out at the time, because I wasn’t ready,” he shared. “I wasn’t in [the right] headspace… it was nothing that I really loved, and nothing I even really liked.”

    Despite his dissatisfaction, the album debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and went on to become his third consecutive platinum release. Now, Baby is back with WHAM, which topped the Billboard 200 in its first week of release. The album, featuring artists like Travis Scott, Future, and 21 Savage, showcases a more energetic and “turnt” side of Baby, with themes of fast cars, jewelry, and the high life.

    Looking ahead to 2025, Baby teased another album titled Dominique, which he says will offer a more introspective, personal approach. “Dominique is more the serious me, more personal,” he explained. Fans can expect an emotional shift as Baby opens up about his life journey.

    Lil Wayne’s Son, Neal, Slams Lil Baby’s New Album ‘WHAM’

    Weezy’s 15-year-old son joins others in criticizing the rapper’s latest effort

    Lil Wayne’s son, Neal, has made it clear he isn’t a fan of Lil Baby’s latest album, WHAM, and he’s not alone in his discontent. During a recent livestream, the 15-year-old, whose mother is R&B singer Nivea, responded to a fan who suggested he collaborate with Lil Baby, saying, “You gotta be out your goddamn mind. That n-gga dropped a terrible album. I’m not making a music video with him.” He continued, “Lil Baby’s not even butt, bruh. It’s just that album was terrible.”

    Neal’s harsh criticism echoes sentiments from other notable figures. Media personality Akademiks also trashed WHAM, calling it “garbage” and claiming it “didn’t sound good, it didn’t look good.” Streamer Kai Cenat, who rated the album a 6 out of 10 on his Twitch channel, also shared his less-than-enthusiastic opinion.

    In an interview with Complex, Lil Baby responded dismissively to Cenat’s review, suggesting the young streamer didn’t understand his music due to their age gap. Despite the criticism, WHAM debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, earning 140,000 equivalent units in its first week. Lil Baby has a busy 2025 ahead, with several new projects lined up.

    50 Cent Mocks Floyd Mayweather After Lil Baby’s Gambling Confession

    The rapper takes a jab at Mayweather while commenting on Baby’s $8 million loss

    50 Cent has once again aimed at Floyd Mayweather, this time in response to Lil Baby’s eye-popping confession about his gambling losses. During an appearance on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place podcast, Baby revealed that he once lost $8 million in a single day at a casino, a claim that quickly caught 50 Cent’s attention.

    The rapper shared a clip from the interview on Instagram, commenting, “Nah these young [ninja emoji] crazy 8 million gambling. I thought only Floyd do shit like that.” He added with his signature humor, “LOL come out the joint looking distraught. I’m just glad he didn’t kill nobody.”

    Despite the public jabs, 50 Cent has repeatedly expressed that his relationship with Mayweather remains complicated but cordial. On Andrew Schulz’s Flagrant podcast, 50 Cent reflected on their long history, saying, “He’s still my guy, man. We’ve been friends since ’02. Even when I fight with him, I don’t hate him. That’s my boy. We just don’t get along ‘cause I don’t need him.”

    However, 50 Cent made headlines earlier this year for publicly criticizing Mayweather after the boxer defended Diddy amid sex trafficking allegations. Mayweather has yet to respond to the latest jabs from his long-time friend turned foe.

    Lil Baby Reveals Narrow Escape from Young Thug’s Arrest in 2022

    Baby recalls Thug’s arrest day

    In a candid conversation on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place podcast, Lil Baby shared a chilling near-miss involving his close friend, Young Thug, and his arrest in May 2022. Baby revealed that he was actually at Thug’s house on the day the YSL rapper was taken into custody as part of the high-profile RICO case.

    “I could’ve been with him,” Lil Baby admitted. “I was at his house the same day. Thank God I just happened to leave two hours early.” He described how the experience made him reflect on how easily he could have been involved in the arrest. “That’ll fuck your head up more than anything,” Baby continued. “I gotta see bro go through this [and] that shit really could have been me.”

    Lil Baby emphasized the personal nature of his connection with Young Thug, calling him more than just a rap peer—”this is my everyday friend.” He also touched on how Thug’s legal troubles have forced him to reevaluate his life and the lives of those close to him.

    The YSL RICO case has also affected other figures in their circle, including Gunna, who was arrested alongside Thug and later released after accepting a plea deal. Gunna’s decision has led to a fallout with Thug, Lil Baby, and many others in their community.
