Lil Baby’s reflexes could have been a little sharper on Saturday night (June 7) in Atlanta, when a fan fainted mid-meet and greet. Although security rushed in, the 30-year-old rapper was clearly caught off guard by the fainting and apparently pushed away from the woman who was slowly falling towards him.
The woman, however, had a smile on her face through it all as Baby ducked the scene. She eventually rolled over and got up — leading many to believe she “staged” it.
The video quickly made its rounds on social media with much commentary. “This is straight out of the movies. CRAZINESS!” one X user commented on the video as another wrote, “That was intentional; no one’s swooning over that little guy who couldn’t even lift her.” A third person joked, “Bro said “B**ch fall that way!” while a fourth said, “She didn’t pass out. She wanted him to catch her. She’s holding his wrists and won’t let go.”
The viral clip comes as Baby’s WHAM (Who Hard As Me) World Tour embarks through its North American leg.
The 30-day trek kicked off in the U.S. on June 3 in Houston and will be heading over seas before concluding in Tokyo on October 21. Baby and his special guests, Pluto, BigXThaPlug and Loe Shimmy, will be hitting the major cities of Houston, Dallas, Atlanta, Miami, Brooklyn, Miami, Los Angeles, London, Dubai, Paris and more.
WHAM, which stands for “Who Hard As Me,” marks the fourth studio album and boasts musical assistance from Young Thug, Future, GloRilla, Rylo Rodriguez, Rod Wave, Travis Scott, and 21 Savage. Southside and Wheezy are also credited for production, as well as Frankie Bash, London on da Track, and more.
In a trailer for the album, Katt Williams was tapped as manager, taking us on a journey through Baby’s luxurious home — the same one featured in Architectural Digest. Draped in Baby’s robe and even donning his jewelry, Katt fully embraces his new role as he lists off Baby’s many accolades.
Lil Baby, clearly baffled, asks how Katt even got in his home, before he responds, “I come when the money come.” As the “California Breeze” rapper counts up a hefty stack, the comedian and actor handles business with phone calls from promoters, makes executive decisions, and cracks jokes all while Baby tries to figure out why he’s wearing his chain.
