Over the weekend (August 28), the “Yes Indeed” rapper was filmed winning the single cash prize. Confirming the win, the Atlanta-native rapper wrote in a recent Twitter post "They know I won $ but what they don't know is I ain't out here balling I'm investing!!"https://twitter.com/lilbaby4PF/status/1564609342476718085?s=20&t=obW8hRKVFgMvG8qReCndlg<figcaption>Lil Baby's Tweet</figcaption>Lil Baby then generously shared the prize with ten people from his team, giving out $10,000 each. According to an Instagram story screenshotted by HipHopD DX, one of Lil Baby's 4PF associates wrote: "Wham win a mili on dice that boy nun nice. Wham just tweaked out."

<h2>The studio challenge is taking over the internet</h2>Lil Baby’s eldest son, Jason Jones, 6, went <a href="https://www.hot97.com/news/hot-news/jay-z-meek-mill-lil-baby-michael-rubin-more-acquired-mitchell-ness-for-250-million" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">viral</a> after taking it on. In his version, Jason is on a tour bus, rocking shades and a fly outfit. As he enters the bus, he daps everyone up, grabs a stack of cash, then “hits the booth” made out of a game controller. Then Jason begins rapping his dad’s “Freestyle.” https://www.instagram.com/tv/CgQbGD2Ar1v/?utm_source=ig_web_copy_linkThe studio challenge is where people pretend they’re having a <a href="https://www.hot97.com/news/the-wrap-up-loreal-luchi-young-thug-chris-brown-gunna" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">session</a>, rap a song, and use whatever they have as a mic/studio equipment. People are hitting their makeshift studios and dropping videos to their favorite songs. Last week, <a href="https://www.hot97.com/news/internet-goes-crazy-over-reginae-carter-after-she-shows-off-drastic-weight-loss" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Reginae Carter</a> went viral after she imitated her dad Lil Wayne for her studio challenge.In Lil Baby news, he’s creating jobs in Atlanta. As reported on <a href="https://www.cbs46.com/2022/07/20/grammy-award-winning-rapper-lil-baby-business-owner-give-away-100-jobs/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">CBS 46</a>, he’s working with prominent business owner Lemont Bradley to hire 100 people under the age of 21, the article notes. Baby and Bradley told the outlet, “We are looking to give out 100 jobs to teenagers and young adults in the metro Atlanta area. With the crime rate surrounding scams, robbery, and even murder being so high, we are looking to provide a positive outlet and revenue stream to those who are looking for an income.”In addition, the two plan on opening a lawn care service this fall. Their main objective with their philanthropy work is to lower the crime rate. They said, “Of course, we are looking forward to helping boost the city’s economy, but we are really focused on lowering the city’s crime rate.”Lil Baby also inked a new deal with the deodorant brand Axe. <a href="https://www.rollingstone.com/product-recommendations/lifestyle/lil-baby-axe-deodorant-pack-collab-1386100/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Rolling Stone</a> reports it’s called “WHAXE” packs. The outlet points out the name is a combination of Axe’s nickname, “WXE,” and Baby’s nickname, “WHAM.”The collaboration includes a stick of deodorant on a chain and body wash in an iced-out platinum metallic bottle with rhinestones. People will also get a Diamon crusted “WHAXE” four-finger ring and a toothbrush for jewelry.

A common saying goes like this: “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.” If only overzealous concertgoers understood this sentiment, then they wouldn’t experience being flown off their favorite artist’s stage by security guards like this fan during a Lil Baby concert over the weekend:https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1nIaOl0MI/When Lil Baby was performing at Switzerland’s Openair Frauenfeld Festival (July 9), a video surfaced on the internet of a fan running on the stage toward the rapper as he was performing his song “On Me”. Once the fan got close enough to Lil Baby, we see that the Atlanta rapper extended his arm away from the concertgoer in an effort to brace himself. Before the fan could even lay a finger on Lil Baby, security guards immediately reacted to the situation and violently pushed the fan off the stage. Here is another clip of the incident from a different angle:https://www.instagram.com/p/Cf1Vo-rlRsA/It has not yet been stated if the fan got seriously injured, but from the video, we can see the fan crashing onto the barricade head first. After the incident, the “My Turn” rapper paused his performance to check on the concertgoer. Lil Baby approached the crowd and stopped the audience from booing the fan. https://twitter.com/lowlifejoe_/status/1546181842096627712?s=20&t=l0_-y-TUGbL7silbmS6k_AUnfortunately, this isn’t the only incident that occurred during the Openair Frauenfeld Festival over the weekend. Rapper and singer Roddy Ricch also had his fair share of wild fans jumping onto the stage. In another video that surfaced on the internet shortly after the scuffle, the rapper approached the commotion and repeatedly (and quite literally) kicked the concertgoer off the stage. Next time you think about going on stage during your favorite artist’s performance, maybe think twice about the consequences!
