"They know nothing about music for real": Lil Baby responds to Kai Cenat giving his new album a 6/10

Rapper Lil Baby has responded to streamer Kai Cenat who gave a rating of 6/10 to the former's latest album WHAM, released earlier this month. The rapper appeared for an interview with Complex for their cover story on January 15, 2025, where he was questioned about his opinion on Kai's reaction to the album.

The rapper said that he had seen a few clips of Kai's review and added,

"But people like Kai Cenat, I feel like they're younger. They won't really understand how I'm coming. You have to be a little older to really get it."

Lil Baby further stated that there is an age difference between him and personalities such as Kai Cenat. While the rapper is 30 years old, Kai Cenat is 23. Lil Baby added,

"If it was a music person, then I'd probably be more interested. But the streamers and people who do reviews, that's just their personal opinion. They know nothing about music for real."

Also known as Dominique Armani Jones, the My Dawg hitmaker said that he is more interested in listening to the opinion of a journalist or a music expert about his albums. Lil Baby continued by saying that he has seen many people openly claim that they did not like a song but still play it on different occasions. He addressed the same and stated:

"You're saying you don't like it and you're making a whole ordeal about it, but the song is playing in the background. So it's really more to go viral or to get a reaction. People would do anything to get a reaction."
