50 Cent has just about seen it all in the rap game, and he’s never one to mince words when it comes to giving his thoughts on just about everything going on.
Last week, Lil Baby shocked fans when he admitted on Lil Yachty’s A Safe Place podcast that he lost about $8 million in just over a day of gambling, which caused him to go cold turkey and quit playing the odds completely.
“Nah these young [ninja emoji] crazy 8 million Gambling. I thought only Floyd [Mayweather] do s–t like that,” 50 captioned a clip of the interview in an Instagram post on Sunday (Dec. 22) while taking a jab at the boxing legend known for making big bets. “LOL come out the joint looking distraught. I’m just glad he didn’t kill no body.”
50 added in his own comments section: “Come on he said 1 day, because he lost it in 1 shot.”
After the disastrous casino run, that was the final straw for Lil Baby, who told 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.
“Like one day, probably like 40 hours straight, I lost like $8 million, $9 million. I made myself stop gambling,” Baby said on the podcast. “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.”
With the vice of gambling out of the picture, Lil Baby is locked in on having a major comeback on the music front in 2025.
He’s readying his WHAM (Who Hard As Me) album for Jan. 3, which will be the first of two projects in the coming months. WHAM features assists from Young Thug, Future, GloRilla, Rod Wave, Travis Scott, 21 Savage and more.
