Lil Baby is gearing up for a major comeback with his highly anticipated album, Wham, set to drop on January 3, 2025. Fans have been eager for a return to form after 2022’s It’s Only Me received mixed reactions. With Wham, the Atlanta rapper promises to kick off the new year with a bang.
Star-Studded Features
The album’s guest list has generated significant buzz, with confirmed appearances from some of the biggest names in the industry:
- Young Thug
- Future (twice!)
- Travis Scott
- 21 Savage
- Rod Wave
- GloRilla
Young Thug’s involvement has particularly excited fans, as it could mark his first major musical contribution since his release from jail. While it’s unclear if Thugger will deliver a full verse or lend vocals to an intro, the speculation has only fueled the hype. Lil Baby, Future, and Travis Scott were recently spotted in the studio together, sparking hopes for a standout collaboration.
Controversy Around "Touchdown"
Lil Baby’s latest single, Touchdown, stirred some controversy this week due to a lyric that many interpreted as a subtle diss: “Real gangster, I ain't rocking no nail polish.” The line sparked debates online about masculinity, self-expression, and whether it was a targeted remark. While some called out the thinly-veiled homophobia in the discussions that followed, others believed it was a playful jab that was blown out of proportion.
What to Expect
With Wham, Lil Baby has a lot of ground to cover. Fans are curious to see how he addresses recent personal and professional moments, including his rumored social media feud with Offset. As Lil Baby’s first major project in years, Wham has the potential to set the tone for rap in 2025.
Mark your calendars for January 3—this is one drop you won’t want to miss!
