Lil Wayne’s Son Disses Lil Baby’s ‘WHAM’ Album: “That N-gga Dropped a Terrible Album”

Lil Wayne’s son Neal, the 15-year-old son of R&B singer Nivea, is making waves with his brutal review of Lil Baby’s latest album, WHAM. During a livestream, Neal didn’t hold back, claiming the album was “terrible” and expressing his disbelief that anyone would suggest a music video collaboration with the Atlanta rapper.

Neal’s Critique of Lil Baby’s WHAM

Neal’s harsh critique of WHAM came after a follower suggested that he and Lil Baby should team up for a music video. “You gotta be out your goddamn mind,” Neal said, dismissing the idea and quickly adding, “Lil Baby’s not even butt, bruh. It’s just that album was terrible.” His candid words caught the attention of fans, especially as Lil Wayne’s son continues to build his own name in the entertainment world.

Criticism Beyond Neal: Akademiks and Kai Cenat Weigh In

Neal isn’t the only one expressing disappointment in WHAM. Media personality DJ Akademiks joined the chorus of critics, slamming the album for its lackluster quality. On his Rumble channel, Akademiks stated, “This Lil Baby album that just dropped was garbage. It didn’t sound good, it didn’t look good.” He further criticized the album’s overall vibe, calling it the work of “a man without a country.”

Popular streamer Kai Cenat also reviewed the album on his Twitch channel, scoring it a mediocre 6/10. Cenat’s review echoed the sentiments of others who felt WHAM fell short of expectations.

Lil Baby Responds to Online Criticism

In a recent interview with Complex, Lil Baby addressed the negative feedback, specifically the critique from Kai Cenat. Baby dismissed Cenat’s opinion, suggesting that the Twitch star’s age made him unable to fully understand the album. “People like Kai Cenat, I feel like they’re younger. They won’t really understand how I’m coming,” Baby remarked, explaining that older listeners might connect better with his music.

The rapper also shared his perspective on the changing nature of music reviews, saying, “I never used to think that there was any age demographic [that was] good to rate music unless you’re a music person.” He went on to clarify that he values feedback from those who truly understand the craft, not just online streamers.

WHAM’s Commercial Success Despite Mixed Reviews

Despite the online backlash, WHAM has seen commercial success. The album debuted at number one on the Billboard 200 and earned 140,000 equivalent units in its first week, marking it as the biggest rap album of 2025 so far. This success highlights that, while some critics may not be impressed, Lil Baby’s fan base continues to support him.

What’s Next for Lil Baby?

Looking ahead, Lil Baby isn’t slowing down. He’s set to release multiple projects in the coming months, including the highly anticipated follow-up album Dominique in February. Fans can also expect a compilation album from his 4PF label, titled Can’t Be Fucked With, as well as a potential joint album with Future and Young Thug.

While WHAM may not have received universal praise, Lil Baby’s ongoing commercial success and upcoming projects prove that he remains a powerful force in the rap game.
