"Just one night everyone was in the Bahamas and we were all gambling together," Lil Baby said. "Drake, Meek Mill, James Harden and Michael Rubin. Baccarat, a matter of fact. ... Sh*t, I lost about $600,000."

James Harden and Lil Baby dating rumors spread online
James Harden and Lil Baby have developed a friendship over the years when the former MVP was still in Houston. Harden once gave Lil Baby $300,000 in cash and a lot of honey buns during his birthday celebration in 2020 during the COVID-19 pandemic.
The 34-year-old disgruntled Philadelphia 76ers star even flew to Houston after a loss to celebrate Lil Baby's birthday last year. The friendship between the two went viral recently due to a report from NBACentel on X, formerly known as Twitter.
The account claimed that Lil Baby and Harden had been in a relationship for three years. However, it should be noted that NBACentel is a parody account of the legitimate NBACentral one that reports news.
That means it's a rumor and just a funny way to trollfans, Harden and Lil Baby.
