Lil Baby’s forthcoming album, WHAM, will be released on Jan. 3, 2025. He announced the release date after his sold-out birthday show on Saturday (Dec. 7) at the State Farm Arena in Atlanta, Georgia. He has been teasing the new LP on social media for a few months.
Lil Baby has been met with a high level of critique since his public feud with Gunna. The “Bigger Picture” track creator seemingly sent multiple shots at his former collaborator after Gunna took a negotiated plea to be released from prison during the YSL RICO trial. Artists like Boosie Badazz, Future, Lil Durk and many others have also distanced themselves from the “HIM ALL ALONG” recording artist.
While he never came out specifically and name-dropped Gunna, fans believed Lil Baby was calling out Gunna on his track “350” when he rapped, “Ain’t never say nothin’ ’bout it, n**ga, you know you a rat.” Gunna shot back on “prada dem” and addressed claims that he snitched when he said, “I set the trend, I’m a trendsetter (Yeah)/ I’m not a rat, still gettin’ cheddar (Gettin’ cheddar)/ Audemars wrist, timeless (Timeless)/ Certified factory diamonds (Factory diamonds).”
