Lil Wayne’s Son Drops a Bombshell: ‘I’m never making music with Lil Baby!
Lil Wayne’s Son Drops a Bombshell: ‘I’m never making music with Lil Baby!
Lil Baby sparked excitement by claiming that WHAM is his best album yet. This bold statement holds weight, especially since My Turn (2022) was named the most-streamed rap album of the 21st century on Billboard. Fans eagerly supported the release, propelling WHAM to debut at number one. However, the album received a lukewarm reception from critics.
Mixed Reactions from Critics
Many critics felt that Lil Baby repeated his usual formula, but this time with less inspiration. One of the most vocal critics was Neal Carter, the son of Lil Wayne, who raps under the stage name Lil Novi.
During an Instagram Live session, Neal bluntly expressed his opinion while responding to a comment suggesting he collaborate with Lil Baby:
“You must be out of your mind. That guy just dropped a terrible album.”
Neal went further, stating:
“I’m never making music with Lil Baby. Never.”
Neal Carter’s Explanation
Although Neal softened his criticism of Lil Baby as an artist, he stood firm in his opinion that WHAM was disappointing:
“Lil Baby isn’t bad, but this album is just awful.”
Neal isn’t the only one who expressed dissatisfaction. Popular streamer Kai Cenat also shared his disappointment, reacting to the album during a livestream and rating it a 6/10, which prompted a response from Lil Baby.
Lil Baby’s Response
Lil Baby suggested that negative reactions, like those from Kai Cenat, stemmed from younger listeners not fully grasping his music:
“People like Kai Cenat, I feel like they’re just too young. Streamers and reviewers, that’s just their opinion. They don’t really know anything about music.”
He added:
“They’ll appreciate this album more as they get older. You need to be more mature to truly understand what I’m trying to convey.”
By this logic, Lil Baby might feel the same way about Neal Carter’s criticism, as Neal is even younger than Kai Cenat.
Conclusion
WHAM has created a divide among fans and critics alike. While Lil Baby insists it’s his finest work yet, the mixed reactions suggest otherwise. Will time ultimately reveal the true value of this album? We’ll have to wait and see!
