"Being an ultra rap and hip-hop fan for over 30 years and appreciating so many styles within the genre this new sh*t I cannot wrap my head around," added another fan on X.

A netizen commented on the appearance of Future and Juelz Santana in the clip, writing:

"Lil baby gone take Juelz scenes out da video cause he look like a crackhead," opined another.

"The older one gets, the more clarity one sees that this stuff is still not inspiring as it should. I'm sorry, i'm not feeling this anymore," declared a user on X.

A user commented on Baby's attire, writing:

"They told him to bring the fur out and he said “say no more” and brought that sh*t out. Lmao."

"Is it just me or this dude was wearing a bandana on his hood. These f**king rappers mann," commented another.

"Juelz is comedy for putting the bandana over his hood," agreed another.

"Why is lil baby only promoting the features, biggest song on the album is "I promise" and "so sorry". They could be his next "emotionally scarred" and "close friends"," inferred a user on X.

Rapper Lil Baby has recently teased a new album in collaboration with Future and Young Thug, grabbing the attention of several social media outlets and hip-hop enthusiasts. Although not much is known about the project, the rapper alluded to it in an episode of It's A Day In The Life on Spotify.

Lil Baby spoke about collaborating with Future in his latest album when he said:

"We and Future was working on a joint tape. We damn near got the joint tape done. Now [Young Thug] came home, he ain't going for that. He like, 'She-it.'"

Baby went on to mention that it was Young Thug who pitched the idea of a possible collaboration during his time in prison.

"He damn near named the tape and everything. This is before he got out. Now when he got out, he like 'Sh*t, I'm on the tape.' So, we might got something big in store for that," explained Baby.

As per Complex, Young Thug was charged under the RICO Act and was released from prison last October. Baby disclosed in the Spotify show that he had collaborated with Thug on 10 singles after the latter's release from prison.
