French Montana & Lil Baby’s ‘Okay’ Video Is A Look At The Rappers’ Out Of This World Lifestyle

In French Montana’s documentary For Khadija, the “Ain’t Worried About Nothin” rapper showed his humble beginnings and family life. But in his latest single, he has no interest in being humble.

Montana’s new ATL Jacob-produced record, “Ok” with Lil Baby, is a cocky demonstration of just how much access, wealth, and swagger they have, rapping, “She wanna ride with the star / Ended up droppin’ my top, okay / My ex told me she needed space / I guess we both goin’ to Mars / I cannot forget the base / I’m takin’ my mop on my dates / Just look at the look on their faces / They wanna jump in my place / Told shorty she was the one / But I’m takin’ her friends out to tan.”

Lil Baby followed up with his own verse: “Straight off a plane to these racks / We gon’ stunt to the vibes, and we gon’ keep it goin’, let’s go / I throw a fit in Rick Owens / Mama the sh*t and she know how she be / Ain’t just talkin’, I got it, I show it / Send a boardin’ pass when she get bored / Country hoppin’ in the Urus, we tourin’ / Keep it low if they know that it’s roarin’.”

In the video, directed by Kid Art, the pair are covered with designer garments and dancing diamonds surrounded by exotic cars.

Suspect From Lil Baby Concert Shooting Revealed As CEO Jizzle’s Brother

Lil Baby, Ceo Jizzle

In a shocking twist, the identity of the shooter who shot Young Dolph’s cousin, CEO Jizzle, at the recent Lil Baby concert in Memphis in Sept. 2023 has been revealed. It was unveiled that the shooter has been identified as Jizzle’s brother. 

Brotherly Betrayal?

The suspect responsible for the gunfire has been identified as none other than Kevin Young, the brother of CEO Jizzle, who was injured during the incident. During a court hearing on Tuesday, court records revealed that Kevin Young’s bond had been revoked by a Shelby County judge in Tennessee. 

Young, who was 22 years old at the time of the incident, fired a shot inside the downtown arena and struck his brother, CEO Jizzle, during the rap concert. Fortunately, Jizzle only sustained minor injuries after being hit in the stomach, as confirmed by officials.

Prior To Charges 

Previously, Young’s lawyer had stated that his client was accused of shooting his brother while standing next to each other during the Lil Baby concert. The motive behind this shocking act of violence remains unclear, leaving both the public and law enforcement puzzled.

Following the shooting, Young was arrested on Sept. 27 and was charged not only in connection to the Lil Baby concert shooting but also with illegal possession of weapons and drugs.

Arrest Made In Shooting At Lil Baby’s Concert: Suspect Faces Multiple Charges

In a shocking turn of events, Memphis police have apprehended a man concerning a shooting during a recent Lil Baby concert. The suspect, a 22-year-old individual, faces charges related to reckless endangerment, unlawful possession of weapons, and drug-related offenses at a Memphis residence.

Suspect Arrested 

Memphis police have arrested a man concerning a shooting during a recent Lil Baby concert on September 7. The suspect, identified as Kevin Young, 22, was arrested on September 27 on charges of reckless endangerment and unlawful possession of weapons and drugs at a residence in Memphis, leading to a breakthrough in the investigation.

The shooting incident unfolded while Lil Baby was performing, prompting an immediate police response and necessitating the rapper’s evacuation under tight security measures. Among those injured was CEO Jizzle, cousin of the late Memphis rapper Young Dolph, who has yet to state Young’s arrest publicly.

Security Protocols Questioned

The investigations have raised questions about the security protocols at the venue, as police remain uncertain about how Young managed to bring a firearm into the FedEx Forum

In response, the arena has implemented a clear bag policy for all future events, aiming to prevent similar incidents and ensure the safety of patrons.

During Young’s arrest, law enforcement officers discovered not only guns, ammunition, and drugs at the home. Truquez Boyd, 25, and Kylon Cown, 23, who were present in the residence, were also apprehended on drug-related charges, although they were not directly linked to the shooting incident.

Lil Baby’s Concert Shooting In Memphis Leaves Young Dolph’s Cousin Injured

Lil Baby’s recent concert in Memphis, Tennessee, took a dangerous turn when gunshots rang out. The Atlanta rapper was forced to abruptly end his performance, as a man, who was recently identified as the cousin of the late rapper Young Dolph, was shot and rushed to the hospital. 

Young Dolph’s Cousin Shot

On September 7, Lil Baby was forced to abruptly end his performance at the FedExForum as one person was shot and rushed to the hospital. The gunshot victim was later revealed to be Ceo Jizzy, the cousin of the late Memphis rapper Young Dolph.

Gunshots erupted during the Its Only Us artist’s performance, where he was headlining his “Lil Baby and Friends” Tour. The Memphis police swiftly responded to the scene on Beale Street, arriving around 10:30 PM. 

As they arrived, Ceo Jizzy had been injured from the shooting. A video captured the moment he was wheeled out of the venue, still conscious but in critical condition. Jizzy was immediately transported to Regional One Hospital for medical treatment. 

A day later, Jizzy posted a clip of himself in a hospital bed on social media, where he not only asks fans to “pray” for him, but to “pray for the opps.”

An Eyewitness Speaks Out

According to Memphis police, the shooting took place on the first floor of the FedExForum, but no further details have been released regarding the circumstances. The incident occurred within the first thirty minutes of the concert, leading to the evacuation of the arena for safety reasons. 

Clarissa Johnson, an eyewitness, described her experience when the shots were fired, stating:

“I heard a pop. I’m not sure what happened but I had a suite, so I told all my crew, ‘get down.’ So we evacuated. Once we evacuated, did a head count. I’m still not sure what happened. It’s not so sweet tonight, though.” 

Due to the incident, Lil Baby’s scheduled performance in Louisville has been canceled, according to Ticketmaster. The identity of the shooter remains unknown at this time.

Lil Baby On The Move

On a lighter note, Lil Baby had some assistance for his tour with help from actress/singer Teyana Taylor. Taylor was hired to be his Creative Director on tour to help him with his live performances and help fans have an “unforgettable experience.”

In more Lil Baby news, the “Yes, Indeed” rapper hosted a back-to-school drive for children in Atlanta just before the school year began in August 2023. The drive provided bookbags, school supplies, sneakers, haircuts, and even carnival games for local children. 

Boosie’s Tulsa Concert Ends In Chaotic Shooting

Violence at rap concerts continues to be a growing concern, as this incident echoes a shooting in July 2023, during a Boosie show in Tulsa. Four people were injured at the end of the concert when shots were fired after the Baton Rouge native performed “Set It Off.”

WATCH: Lil Baby Says ‘F— the Rats’ On Stage as a Gunna Collaboration Played

LilBaby3

Lil Baby is making sure everyone knows he isn’t rockin’ with Gunna. Baby was on stage performing when “Drip Too Hard,” a collaboration with Gunna, played. Lil Baby said onstage, “Fuck the rats.”

In June, Gunna made his return to music, but who thought he would drop a diss in the first release? The new single is “Bread & Butter,” and Gunna combats snitch allegations.

Gunna also reveals he was misled by the lawyers and district attorney:

“Lawyers and the D.A. did some sneaky shit, I fell for it
On my Ps and Qs because this time, I be prepared for it.”

But the real eyebrow-raising bars come at the end, seemingly shading Lil Baby, specifically a bar about “you in business with a rat.” The line can be connected to recent headlines involving Quality Control CEO Pierre Thomas.

“Peepin’ shit, I’m seein’ niggas fall back
You bitch ass niggas got me as the topic of the chat
You switched on me when you know you in business with a rat
And the boy that’s like your brother, and nobody speak on that”

Did Lil Baby Diss His ‘Drip Too Hard’ Partner-In-Rhyme Gunna?

The year was 2018 and Lil Baby and Gunna were both just beginning to break out of the Atlanta trap scene. Both had tremendous buzz surrounding their names, so when they teamed up for a joint album, Drip Harder, it and its lead single, “Drip Too Hard,” took off like a rocket to the stars, accelerating their ascent to household name status (and still hits new high watermarks).

Since then, though, their trajectories have diverged somewhat; while Lil Baby continues to rack up streams and endorsement deals, Gunna took a detour through the Fulton County Jail thanks to the ongoing RICO case against the two rappers’ shared mentor Young Thug and his YSL label, to which Gunna is signed. Gunna’s out now thanks to a plea deal, but many of his former peers have turned their backs on him as a result — including, it seems, Lil Baby.

This week, a video surfaced online in which Lil Baby apparently repudiates his former partner-in-rhyme in no uncertain terms during a recent show. As the DJ begins to play the beat from the duo’s signature hit, Baby apparently barks, “F*ck the rats — turn this sh*t off.”

At least, that’s how fans on Twitter have interpreted his exclamation. It’s hard to make out and there’s no real confirmation that he’s speaking specifically about Gunna but it’s hard to deny two facts: “Drip Too Hard” does feature the newly controversial rapper, and Gunna was villified earlier this year for “snitching” on Young Thug to get out — although even Young Thug’s closest family denies anything he may have said could hurt Thug’s defense.

If Lil Baby really has fallen out with Gunna, it’s sure to be disappointing to longtime fans who look back fondly on the duo’s shared breakout in 2018. it isn’t exactly Migos breaking up but it still sucks for the Atlanta trap scene.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Lil Baby Disses Gunna During “Drip Too Hard” Performance: “F**k The Rats”

The YSL RICO trial has been giving us regular updates on Young Thug and his co-defendants from their Georgia courtroom, though we still don’t have answers on how the So Much Fun artist feels about his frequent collaborator, Gunna. His BUSINESS IS BUSINESS album includes some shady bars at the 30-year-old, but according to Thugger’s father, Jeffrey Williams’ family has no issues with the lyricist. Many major players in the industry made it known that Gunna isn’t in their social circle anymore, either by unfollowing him on social media or even publicly accusing him of snitching.

Lil Baby is one artist who’s been shading the “fukumean” hitmaker with reckless abandon, even throwing up the YSL symbol while spitting bars about rats earlier this fall. Before that, the father of two went viral when an unreleased snippet hit the internet, including lyrics that appear to reference Gunna’s plea deal. “Some ni**as taking pleas at trial / I know Slime ain’t happy,” Baby spits on the song, hinting that Thug didn’t approve of is “Hot” collaborator’s legal move.

Lil Baby Seemingly Fuels Gunna Feud

At a recent concert, Baby took things to a new level, appearing to call Wunna a “rat” when their hit single, “Drip Too Hard” came on. “F**k the rats, turn this s**t off,” the Southern star yelled as lights flashed and smoke filled the venue. It’s been a minute since the artists unfollowed each other on Instagram, but now that the YSL RICO trial is underway, it seems the My Turn artist wants to make his support for Thugger felt.

Gunna’s comeback from jail was anything but easy, despite the Atlanta-based artist finally having his freedom back. Luckily, he’s become a pro at ignoring the negativity and criticism in favour of focusing on his personal growth, as well as his new relationship.

Lil Baby Seemingly Hints At Dropping New Music, Fans Have Mixed Reactions

When Lil Baby was coming up in the rap game about four years ago, he was seen as one of the hottest things since sliced bread so to speak. That was especially the case after he nabbed a collaboration with Drake on “Yes Indeed.” His solo efforts like “Freestyle” and “Pure Cocaine,” put him on everyone’s radar. However, right after his ultra-successful 2020 project, My Turn, many fans have questioned the quality that Lil Baby has put forth.

Some have even made the argument that he has no desire to change his flows and approach to his tracks. Maybe this is a reason why Lil Yachty recently spoke about the state of hip-hop being lackluster lately. Regardless, with all of the hate and criticisms being thrown Baby’s way, he has a chance to surprise everyone. Usually, you can win back many listeners by returning with some sort of quality. It seems that is what the Atlanta native has in store.

He writes, “The Streets Been Waiting On Me To Drop, These Suckas Waiting On Me To Flop, Tell Them Suckas Keep On Hating.” He continues, “Hold Ya Breath N**** Die From Waiting 🤷🏽‍♂️” People in his comments were adamant about Baby dropping an album. However, if you look at the repost by DJ Akademiks, a lot of comments were negative. One says, “Nobody waiting on him to drop, he been dropping the same songs since 2020.” Another says, “Gunna surpassed him. Let’s argue 🤝🏽.” As we said, Baby is in the perfect situation to do what he did about four years ago. Surprise everyone.
