Lil Baby shocked fans last week when he admitted on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place podcast that he lost about $8 million in less than two days of gambling.
Not one to hold his pen or his tongue, on Sunday (12.22) 50 Cent captioned a clip of the interview in an Instagram post while taking a jab at the boxing legend known for making big bets, writing:
“Nah these young [ninja emoji] crazy 8 million Gambling. I thought only Floyd [Mayweather] do s–t like that.” “LOL come out the joint looking distraught. I’m just glad he didn’t kill no body.” “Come on he said 1 day, because he lost it in 1 shot.”
Following his gambling mega-loss, the superstar rapper (born Dominique Armani Jones) asked his friend and Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin to call the casinos he used to frequent and ban him from ever being able to play again.
During the podcast, the now 30-year old musician added “Like one day, probably like 40 hours straight, I lost like $8 million, $9 million. I made myself stop gambling.” “I had Mike Rubin write a letter to every casino and ban me from the casino. I just do s–t. I don’t gamble no more.”
Hoping for a major musical comeback in 2025, Baby will drop his WHAM (Who Hard As Me) album (features collaborations with Young Thug, Future, GloRilla, Rod Wave, Travis Scott, 21 Savage and more) on January 3 which will be the first of two projects in the coming months.
