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.

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.

$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.

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.
