Lil Baby and Blueface are currently at each other and taking it to wax. Blueface gets the latest diss off on the track “Baby Momma Drama.”
“Lil Baby thought he knew me How you let another grown man feel up on your booty? Couldn’t be me, boy I am not a hoochie You n-ggas really industry, I am really in the streets”
The diss is in connection to a viral image of Lil Baby and Michael Rubin.
Lil Baby has lost a fan. Instagram user prettylil_dollface said she was fanning out, and his “stop touching me” response leads to her aborting support for the 4PF rapper.
“Yall can have @lilbaby i mean i respect ppl privacy but im a fan i just was fanned out at the moment & i paid for front row seats at his concert and vip at the after party for this?! i thought he was humble but ‘dont touch me’ is wildddddddd! He lost my support.”
Quality Control CEO Pierre “P” Thomas sure knows how to throw an unforgettable party, especially when it comes to celebrating his loved ones. Over the weekend, he pulled out all the stops once again to celebrate his daughter Journey’s 16th birthday. And the night looked nothing short of spectacular.
The star-studded bash was a sight to behold. Held in an Atlanta venue with lavish pink and carnival-themed decorations, it was clear that no expense was spared in creating a truly magical atmosphere. But the icing on the cake was the surprise Pierre Thomas had in store for his daughter Journey. As the night came to an end, guests witnessed a heartfelt moment when not one, not two, but three luxury Mercedes Benz cars were unveiled outside the venue. A massive pink sign posed the question, “Which one is your choice?”
Pierre Thomas shared the moment on his social media. It’s clear to see the sheer joy and tears of happiness as Journey made the difficult choice in deciding which car to pick. Additionally, Journey was treated to a special performance by none other than Quality Control signees. Lil Baby and Lil Yachty graced the stage with their music and the crowd definitely looked lit. The two performed their popular hit records. This extravagant birthday celebration is not the first of its kind for P. He has a reputation for hosting legendary birthday bashes, such as his annual “Black Ball” in Atlanta. This black-tie affair has become synonymous with elegance and celebrity attendance.
With a guest list that often includes top-tier stars like Quavo, Gucci Mane, 2 Chainz, and many more, it’s no wonder that P’s birthday parties are the talk of the town every year. Pierre Thomas has a history of giving lavish gifts, too. In 2019, he made headlines by surprising City Girls rapper JT with a brand new car for her birthday. His generosity knows no bounds. Consequently, it’s clear that he enjoys making those he cares about feel truly special on their big days. Journey’s 16th birthday party appeared to host a magical affair brimming with star-studded moments and heartwarming surprises. Pierre Thomas once again demonstrated his ability for making celebrations truly extraordinary, leaving a lasting impression on everyone lucky enough to be a part of this special occasion.

Thursday night, a man was shot and injured during a Lil Baby concert at the FedEx Forum in Memphis. Fans were forced to evacuate the venue, with no other injuries being reported. The Atlanta rapper was performing alongside Rylo Rodriguez when the incident occurred. He was rushed off stage immediately after the shots were fired. Currently, the shooter’s identity is unknown, and Memphis Police have yet to make an arrest. However, they concluded that the shooting was premeditated and the victim was targeted. As police conduct their investigation, here is what we know so far about the Lil Baby concert shooting.
Initial Reporting
The Memphis Police Department responded to reports of a shooting at the FedEx Forum during Lil Baby’s performance around 10:23 p.m. on Thursday (September 7). One concertgoer, Clarissa Johnson, told WREG Memphis she “heard a pop” before evacuating the venue. “I’m still not sure what happened. It’s not so sweet tonight, though,” she said. The shooting victim, later reportedly identified as Young Dolph’s cousin, CEO Jizzle, was said to have been in critical condition when police responded before being rushed to Regional One Health Medical Center. The incident reportedly occurred on the first floor near the stage. The victim is no longer in critical condition today, and no other injuries have since been reported.
Following the shooting, the Memphis Police Department released a statement. They are investigating how a weapon managed to get inside the arena as all fans walk through a metal detector when entering. The shooter’s identity is unknown, and police are actively working to find the culprit. The FedEx Forum also released a statement echoing the goals of the police’s investigation. GloRilla, who was scheduled to perform at the show, commented on the situation. In a social media post, the rapper expressed frustration of her hometown. She said, “Memphis is ghetto as f**k. We been on this tour this whole f*****g time and today they want to f*****g shoot. It ain’t been a shootout at not a one of these shows… Man, this some ghetto s**t. It ain’t even funny, for real.” In addition to GloRilla’s remarks, Lil Baby also took to social media after the shooting.
Lil Baby Assured Fans Their Refunds
While not commenting on the incident, Lil Baby took to Twitter, assuring fans they would be refunded. “Unfortunately I couldn’t perform last night in Memphis. Ima make sure everybody gets a refund tho,” he said in the since-deleted tweet. The rapper also released a statement on his Instagram story, citing “unforeseen circumstances” that prevented him from giving fans a full performance. Baby’s show the following night at the KFC Yum! Center in Louisville, Kentucky, has also been canceled following the shooting. The rest of his upcoming shows on his It’s Only Us Tour are scheduled to take place as planned.
Unfortunately, this is not the first time that the lives of concertgoers have been threatened by violence. Shootings, bomb threats, sexual assault, and even crowd-stampedes have become all too common in live music settings. This is all that has been shared about the Lil Baby concert shooting and its ongoing investigation. Be sure to check back in with HotNewHipHop for the latest updates.
Music festivals, as well as concerts, are becoming increasingly dangerous. In March, a stampede at GloRilla’s concert in Rochester, New York, resulted in two deaths and several injuries. On Monday, September 4, spectators stormed the gates of Electric Zoo 2023 to force their way into the festival. And on Thursday, September 7, Lil Baby’s It’s Only Us Tour stop in Memphis, Tennessee, was abruptly ended after gunshots rang out inside the FedEx Forum arena.
Fortunately, no one was killed in the incident. However, according to ABC News, one person was shot and critically wounded. Lil Baby isn’t a man of many words. Still, he did take to his official X (formerly Twitter) profile Friday, September 8, to issue a statement regarding the incident, writing, “Unfortunately, I couldn’t perform last night in Memphis. I’m going to make sure everybody gets a refund th,o .”

Lil Baby’sIt’s Only Us Tour has faced several hiccups along the way. Just weeks before the string of shows was set to kick off, the Grammy Award-nominated rapper canceled a number of dates without offering ticketholders any explanation. Days after, he lost his biggest opening act, The Kid Laroi. Since then, it seemed as if everything had been smooth sailing until yesterday (September 7).
Unfortunately, during Lil Baby’s performance at Memphis, Tennesse’s FedEx Forum, one person was shot, according to ABC News. The outlet revealed that the victim was a male concertgoer. After being rushed to Regional One Health Medical Center, it was announced that he was in critical condition due to the wound.

The Memphis Police Department took to X (formerly Twitter) to share limited details, including the time of the incident and that, at the current time, the shooter’s identity was not yet known.
