Generally speaking, they say that what goes up, must eventually come down. But in the case of Lil Baby who once looked to be in pole position to replace Drake, it seems like things are spiraling out of orbit at an alarming rate.
For a window of around three years, the rapper lesser known as Dominique Jones had more momentum and combined goodwill than any other artist in the field. Commended by oldheads and seen as the leader of the new school by his contemporaries, Lil Baby might not have meaningfully entered the game until 2017, but he wasted no time in becoming one of the biggest names in the culture.
And after a stellar mixtape run, the release of 2020’s My Turn wasn’t just critically acclaimed and commercially lucrative, but had one of the most fitting album titles we've seen in a while.
Suddenly, Baby was on such a pedestal that he found himself performing at the FIFA World Cup, something usually only reserved for megastars. Putting Baby in front of the eyes of 2 billion televisions globally. But now there are now concerns over LIl Baby’s staying power due to a combination of persistent factors, and now the public that elevated him is begging him to stop rapping. So what happened?
