I really want to own a label - like Def Jam, though. What are your remaining ambitions for music? Do you want to be on pop songs alongside Justin Bieber, Selena Gomez types? It seems like I got money to please everybody else. That’s the biggest thing I’m working on right now. If there’s a disagreement, I’m getting defensive. So many people try to get me that I got into this defensive shell. What areas do you need to improve in, musically or as a man? I trained myself to think about how it was then. But in my mind, I ain’t even dumb enough to think like that. Prison now wouldn’t even faze me, honestly.
If I went to prison right now, I’d be lit. And it’s different being a celebrity getting in trouble a regular person getting in trouble. My old roommate is still in prison and I’ve been out for a few years and I done went through all this.Īre you confident that you’ll never be back there? People in prison - stuff like that is probably on nobody’s minds until someone like her is saying my name at the Grammys. But I’m happy to just be a part of stuff like that. I just want to put on a suit and take a picture more than anything. What was it like being at the Grammys? Sharon Osbourne saying your name was pretty surreal. Have you ever met another rapper with no tattoos? It can never be no more, but it’s one of them things. You left on bad terms, but you remember the good parts about it. It’s like when you see an ex-girlfriend or something, that feeling you get from ’em. There’s a line about how going back to the hood gives you chills. What did you want to accomplish on “My Turn,” that you didn’t on previous projects?ĭue to the fact that I haven’t dropped in a year - and the year that I didn’t drop was the year that I blew up - this is a whole different me. Every now and then, I used to take a half of one, but I say it in my raps because I might pop one and that’s what’s going on. People think I take ’em and then people take ’em thinking I take ’em. Because I done rapped about drugs that I don’t even take. To the point now where I stopped putting it in my music. But if you are just like, obsessive, I’m going to be on you. I drink a little bit here and there, this and that, so I can’t be too hard on you. My following came from me, not like some old viral stuff. That ain’t me, though! To me, that’s gimmicks - clout. There are a lot of rappers today that are big characters on social media, constantly saying controversial things, getting into beefs. And with the amount of money I get, I know it’s serious. From the bank to church to the doctor, the gas station, anywhere. I’m to the point where I can’t go nowhere without someone knowing me. When did it click that rap was your life? But I thank God that it happened like that, because I got more focused on rap and that’s how I became what I am today. Whatever I had going on, it came to an end at the time when I started to move up rapping. Now, I get a thrill from my old life sometimes, if I see some stuff, but as far as missing it? Not at all. “Most people are acting like more than what they are, I’m acting like less than what I am.”
“People don’t think I’m as big as I am because I don’t really talk about it,” he said recently. The concept of celebrity still makes him bristle, and his public appearances remain limited to the ones that pay handsomely. Yet, as he’ll proudly insist - and his barber will attest - the reserved rapper is known even now to jump in an Uber or pull up to Chick-fil-A all alone, loud jewelry gleaming. All suggestions will be manually verified.ATLANTA - Between the summer of 2016, when the Atlanta rapper Lil Baby got out of prison on drug and gun charges, and the end of 2018, when he solidified himself as a formidable presence in hip-hop, he released seven full-length bodies of music, resulting in a pile of smash singles that have gone platinum a combined 12 times over.Īn inescapable presence on rap radio who’s racked up even more street-level hits, Lil Baby, 25, has since been nominated for a Grammy, banked corporate sponsorships and performed alongside international stars like Drake, DaBaby and Travis Scott, in addition to his ubiquitous local cohort of Gunna, Future, Migos and Young Thug.Īll told, songs by Lil Baby, who had never rapped before his two-year incarceration, have been streamed more than 11 billion times around the world.
