After announcing the album during his one-off concert in December 2024, Lil Baby has finally dropped his highly anticipated fourth studio album, WHAM (Who Hard as Me). The project is released to streaming on January 3, 2025, via Quality Control Music and Motown Records. It comes two years after the release of his third studio album, It's Only Me, in 2022.
Trending
The Atlanta rapper's newest album features hip-hop hard hitters Young Thug, GloRilla, 21 Savage, Future, and more. A notable exclusion from Lil Baby's WHAM is ex-friend and frequent collaborator, Gunna.
His exclusion likely stems from their fallout in 2023 after Gunna accepted a plea deal in the YSL RICO trial, deemed the longest-running criminal trial in Georgia history.
Upon the album's release, fans have started diving deeper into the project, with many highlighting 21 Savage's verse on track 13 Outfit. Several individuals have quoted bars from the record, seemingly claiming that the rapper is taking shots at Drake and Kendrick rapper's rap beef.
"She a rachet a** b***h, put her on Zeus / I'm a player, I'll run through the whole crew / Brought Drac' with me and it know kung fu / If I hit him in the jaw, then he gon' sue / Colored diamonds in the Richard like Hi-Chews," 21 Savage raps on 'Outfit'.
"This is a very confusing verse cause is he dissing Drake or Kenny or both?," one individual questioned.
"Is he dissing Drake or nah," questioned another.
"But the only person suing is his boy Drake. The jokes write themselves," an individual references the Drake vs UMG lawsuit.
"The audacity to clown his opp in that line, saying he gon sue, when he right next to a Karen a*s suing n***a lol," said another.
More reactions followed from individuals attempting to break down 21 Savage's lyrics on Outfit.
"Just got finished listening to the whole song, and that was probably the worst 21 verse I've heard in a min ngl. "Super Saiyan from the back, I go ku," wtf does that mean?… and I love anime," a user cited.
"Drac=gun, no kung fu=ain’t throwing punches. But if it’s really Drakes name I understand the “he gon sue” line next," a user claimed.
"I think maybe Drake asked for a fade off the air and Kendrick threatened to sue him if he tried it," an individual suggests.
