Lil Baby Speaks on Drake, Young Thug & Gunna, Lyrics in Court, Rap Beef & More | Its Up Ther

Sun, 03 May 2026 17:31:09 +0000

Lil Baby sits down with Loon on It’s Up There Podcast for a rare full conversation about jail changing his life, the mindset shift behind his success, fatherhood, fame, business, Drake, Young Thug, Gunna, lyrics being used in court, women, relationships, and why he stays focused on money instead of rap beef.

In this episode, Lil Baby opens up about how prison pushed him to try something different, why he never wanted to stay stuck in street mentality, and how success forced him to change everything — even the way he thinks. He also speaks on It’s Only Me, the Untrapped documentary, his approach to branding, his thoughts on features, the people around him, learning from businessmen, and why protecting peace matters more than proving a point.

Lil Baby’s It’s Only Me arrived in October 2022, while Untrapped: The Story of Lil Baby was released through Prime Video in 2022. His World Cup connection also came through “The World Is Yours to Take,” part of the 2022 FIFA soundtrack rollout.
