Lil Baby is setting the record straight after Atlanta police linked him to the tragic deaths of two teenagers at his music video shoot.
In a statement, he expressed gratitude for public concern and urged against believing “fake news,” asserting, “I’m overly good.”
Atlanta PD says the violence popped off because Lil Baby chose to film his video in a neighborhood already heated with tension. Cops believe that decision sparked the tragic deaths of 13-year-old Lamont Freeman and another victim. They’re saying Lamont barely had 27 minutes to live as a kid before gang violence snatched his life away.
Atlanta Police Homicide Commander Maj. Ralph Woolfolk criticized Lil Baby’s decision to film in a known gang area, labeling it a “cowardly act” and suggesting it contributed to the subsequent violence. In response, Lil Baby’s attorneys, Drew Findling and Marissa Goldberg, issued a statement dismissing the allegations as “complete and total nonsense.”
They emphasized that the location for the music video shoot was chosen by a professional team, not by Lil Baby personally. As the investigation continues, Lil Baby maintains his innocence, asserting that he is “overly good” and urging the public to be cautious of misinformation.
Lil Baby recently dropped his highly anticipated album WHAM, and it’s already making waves in the rap scene. One of the biggest moments on the album is the feature from Young Thug, marking his first verse since being released from prison. Fans were hyped to hear Thug’s voice again, and his verse adds a special touch to the project. With star-studded features and powerful moments like Thug’s return, WHAM is solidifying Lil Baby’s status as, and still is, one of rap’s biggest forces.
