Lil Baby and Gunna may never make music together again.

While sitting down with Charlamagne tha God and his Out of Context interview series, the media personality asked Baby about his relationship with Gunna and if they’ll ever make music again. However, the Atlanta rapper isn’t optimistic about giving fans a follow up to their critically acclaimed mixtape Drip Harder from 2018. “We ain’t got no relationship,” he said before Charlamagne asked about fans on the Internet claiming Lil Baby “can’t make hits without Gunna.”

“The internet will say anything,” he then answered. “You know how many hits I got? So, that don’t even make sense.” Charlamagne then followed up by asking, “I know Thug says what Wham! says goes, but Thug says, ‘Hey, I’mma get in the studio, I’m gonna make some music with Gunna, Baby I want you to participate.’ Would you?”

“I don’t see that happening,” Baby replied before elaborating that he meant he doesn’t expect Young Thug to ever make that kind of request. “Nah, I’m just saying, like, ‘I want you to participate.’ I don’t know what nobody else will do. But as far as me, know what I’m saying?”

Charlamagne then brought up his “350” record from 2023 where Baby rapped, “Ain’t never say nothin’ ’bout it, nigga, you know you a rat” on the song’s first verse, but he brushed the controversy surrounding that line off. “That’s just the Internet, what they gonna create,” he answered. “I talk about rats in every song I had since I started rappin’.” Adding, “They just be creating a narrative and I don’t even be talkin’ about a nigga. It’s whoever’s a rat.”

The drama surrounding the former duo dates back to December of 2023 when Lil Baby told his DJ to turn off “Drip Too Hard” during a performance, saying, “F—k the rats, turn this sh—t off.” Since then there’s been conflicting feelings coming out of Thug’s YSL camp such as Thug tweeting, “whateva wham say goes,” in June and his father coming to Gunna’s defense publicly on multiple occasions.

The interesting tidbit in all this is that Thug had to get permission from the judge to be able to record songs with Gunna as a condition of his release.

Lil Baby’s fourth solo album WHAM (Who Hard as Me) is due out Jan. 3, 2025.

Lil Baby loves gambling. Whether that be on betting on himself in his career, cards or rolling dice, the Atlanta rapper is always down to play the odds.

Baby hopped on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place podcast where he admitted that losing a fortune in less than two days forced him to get his gambling habit under control.

“$8 million,” he said when asked what’s the most he’s lost. “Like one day, probably like 40 hours straight, I lost like $8 million, $9 million. I made myself stop gambling.”

Baby continued: “I had Mike Rubin write a letter to every casino and ban me from the casino. I just do s–t. I don’t gamble no more.”

Don’t expect to see Lil Baby in the casinos anymore, but he’s still making it rain in other ways. The 4PF rapper and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin have become close friends over the years as they’ve aligned on REFORM Alliance ventures and business dealings such as Mitchell & Ness and Fanatics.

Rubin and Lil Baby have been the subject of plenty of memes and social media fodder with photos from his famed “white parties” on July 4. Elsewhere talking to Yachty, Baby revealed the memes actually bother him.

“I don’t play with n—-s, period on no funny, weird s–t. I’m dapping Kuzma up and Mike’s happy to see me he run up on me. I got 10 other pictures,” Baby said. “We play like that. They white so they don’t really understand how I understand. Even when the picture came out before it went viral I told Mike, ‘I can’t have pictures like that.’”

He continued: “When that picture came out, I literally made Mike Rubin go to the security camera in his house and go to the footage the whole time. I ain’t even gonna post that s–t… Certain s–t, all that type s–t like that really bother me. How I grew up, certain s–t can’t be on your name.”

The 30-year-old called Michael Rubin a “super great influence” on his life. “We have the best conversations ever,” Baby added. “He damn near fascinated with the way I live, and I’m fascinated with the way he lives so we live in the middle.”

Lil Baby is looking to kick off 2025 on a high note as he readies a pair of albums, the first of which is set to arrive on Jan. 3 with WHAM (Who Hard As Me).
