Lil Baby is keeping it real about the dark side of success, revealing that he lost nearly $9 million in just 40 hours during a gambling spree. Speaking candidly on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place Podcast, the Atlanta rapper shared how his gambling habit spiraled out of control, leading to a massive financial hit.
I got caught up in it, man—40 hours straight. I kept thinking, ‘One more win,’ but it just didn’t happen.
Realizing he needed help, he called his friend and business mogul Michael Rubin, asking him to take drastic measures. Lil Baby asked Rubin to contact casinos and have him banned from gambling, saying, “I couldn’t trust myself not to go back.”
By sharing his experience, Lil Baby hopes to raise awareness about the dangers of gambling addiction, even for those with deep pockets. “It’s not about how much money you have—it’s about how easy it is to lose control,” he said. “I hope my story helps someone else avoid making the same mistake.”
Despite the setback, Lil Baby is staying focused on his music. He recently announced his next album, WHAM (Who Hard As Me), set to drop on January 3, 2025. Featuring star-studded collaborations with Young Thug, Future, Rod Wave, and GloRilla, the project is already generating major buzz. Fans can expect hard-hitting tracks and lyrical heat that remind everyone why Lil Baby is at the top of the rap game.
With WHAM on the horizon, Lil Baby is turning his losses into lessons, proving that even in tough times, he’s still one of the hardest in the game. Get ready for a massive start to 2025 with what promises to be another iconic chapter in Lil Baby’s career.
