G6Reddot, the rapper once signed to Kodak Black’s Sniper Gang imprint, has stepped into the spotlight for reasons other than his music. Recent baby shower photos revealed he is the father of Flo Milli‘s unborn child.
G6Reddot, whose birth name is Joshua Baker, started out grinding in South Florida, before eventually teaming up with Yak and putting his foot on the gas. The 27-year-old has already made a significant mark in the music industry as a songwriter, contributing to Cardi B’s chart-topping hit “Up” — which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard Hot 100. He’s also worked with his girl Flo Milli and Megan Thee Stallion.
Stepping into his own light, G6Reddot released his debut EP Z6 in 2023, which showcased his skills as a performer with six tracks delving into his personal experiences growing up in The Sunshine State.
Beyond his musical efforts, the Grammy-nominated writer has most recently made headlines for being the mystery man dating rapper Flo Milli, and the soon-to-be-father of their unborn son. The couple recently celebrated their baby shower, eagerly anticipating the arrival of their child, who Reddot has affectionately referred to as “Baby Sixx.”
As this new chapter adds another dimension to Flo Milli’s life, fans are now scrambling to find out more about the “No Soul” rapper. To help out those inquiring minds, VIBE is sharing a few key details regarding G6Reddot.

Signed To Kodak Black’s Sniper Gang Imprint In 2018
Image Credit: YouTube/g6reddot Let him tell it, G6Reddot wasn’t grinding that long before he “made it.” In an interview with Famous Before The Fame podcast, the Florida rapper shared that he was working a nine-to-five a little before he was signed to Kodak Black’s Sniper Gang imprint — which he says happened within “two weeks.” G6, 20 at the time, inked the deal while Yak was incarcerated on weapons and drug possession charges.
Since then, Reddot parted ways with the label, but has put out a slew of singles and videos including “Coming to Me,” “No Soul,” “The Way,” and others. He’s also contributed to the musical efforts of his girl, Flo Milli, Cardi B, Rae Sremmurd and others.
Most recently, the 27-year-old shared an iced-out Richard Millie watch that the “Super Gremlin” rapper gifted him. See below.
