Lil Baby and Gunna were once a dynamic duo in the music world.
- Speculation has risen about their fallout related to ‘snitching’ allegations.
- Lil Baby recently shared his views on rappers who cooperate with authorities.
- His comments have sparked discussions and theories amongst fans.
- These developments have added tension to the hip-hop community.
Lil Baby and Gunna were a powerhouse pair in the rap scene, especially known for their collaborative album Drip Harder in 2018. But rumors of a fallout began after whispers of Gunna allegedly ‘snitching’ on their shared mentor, Young Thug, surfaced. They haven’t collaborated since.
During a candid chat on the A Safe Place Podcast, Lil Baby openly expressed his disdain for working with rappers labeled as ‘snitches.’ He told Lil Yachty that he has nothing in common with those who might ‘sell out their own’. He stated firmly, “Those kinds of morals [are] never going to leave. I’m always gonna look at certain stuff a certain way.”
Without directly naming Gunna, Baby spoke generally about industry morals and insisted that his creative expression isn’t compatible with those who have cooperated with law enforcement. He explained, “It boils down to what we rapping about… We can’t rap about that if you did that,” underscoring his commitment to authentic storytelling.
Despite the tension, Lil Baby has refrained from publicly accusing or naming anyone. He made it clear on the podcast, “I don’t even speak on n**gas,” emphasizing a street code of silence. He criticized lyrics that glorify crime, cautioning that artists who spit about their criminal exploits are damaging both their personal and the hip-hop industry’s wider reputation.
The repercussions, he noted, extend beyond just personal relationships but affect the entire music business. As Lil Baby pointed out, artists who find themselves behind bars can’t promote or profit from their music, a reality that impacts younger audiences who might idolize these figures. The tension between Lil Baby and Gunna, though not publicly addressed by name, seems to echo this sentiment.
Lil Baby’s stance on authenticity over friendship has certainly struck a chord in the hip-hop community.
