Lil Baby is poised to earn another No. 1 album next week.
The Atlanta rapper is slated to earn his second solo No. 1 for his third studio album, It’s Only Me. The first week sales projections are indicative of a chart-topper, as Lil Baby is expected to move 185k – 210k units by his Billboard 200 debut, according to HDD. The Quality Control rapper had a lot to live up to with the release of this album following the mega success of his last solo effort.
Back in 2020, Lil Baby’s second studio album, My Turn, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and has since gone 4x platinum. The rapper’s uber-successful sophomore effort broke the record for the longest streak when it spent six weeks at No. 1 on the Top R&B/Hip-Hop Albums chart and just last month hit a century in the top 10.
The highly anticipated release of Lil Baby’s third studio was met with great expectation and critique. Clearly, the rapper did not disappoint his fans after coming under pressure to double down on his studio album success. It’s Only Me potentially marks Lil Baby’s third Billboard 200 No. 1 after The Voice of the Heroes. His collaborative effort with Lil Durk debuted at No. 1 in June 2021.
It’s Only Me is reportedly doing extremely well on streaming which is primarily responsible for the number of copies the rapper is expected to move in his opening week. The new album featured the likes of Future, Young Thug, Jeremih, and more and was produced by Murda Beatz, KRAZYMOB, Tay Keith, and others.
Among the popular tracks are “Stand On It” and “Not Finished,” which are most buzzed about since Lil Baby appears to be addressing the supposed beef between himself and labelmate Quavo after he was reportedly spotted hanging out with the Migos rapper’s ex-girlfriend, Saweetie, following their breakup.
For Lil Baby, the celebration started early as he enjoyed his album release party this weekend. Is the No. 1 album party up next?

A$AP Rocky and Rihanna are no longer on speaking terms with Kanye West following Ye’s recent claim about Rocky.
Last week, Kanye West made a bold allegation that designer Yoon Ambush slept with A$AP Rocky. The designer has also denied the allegation and has received support from a member of the A$AP Mob. In a post last week Thursday night, Kanye shared a screenshot of a list of names where he circles Yoon’s name as well as several others. “Other fake friend opps who hearted that Tremaine Threatened me on,” he captioned the screenshot.
He posted another screenshot that read, “Ambush weak Rocky F***ed Yoon next.” In the comments section, Yoon denied the claim, writing, “Lol. Not true but okay.” A$AP Nast chimed in saying, “Keep the gang out this gz.”
A$AP Rocky has not publicly responded to Kanye West, nor has his partner Rihanna, but sources close to the Bajan billionaire exclusively told Urban Islandz that they both cut Kanye off. We’re told that Rocky and Ye were working on new music and were in regular contact with each other, but that all shifted when the G.O.O.D. Music chief made the allegations about Yoon. Rocky felt betrayed by Ye and felt the claim disrespected his baby mother, Rihanna.
“They haven’t spoken about the lie he told and believe me ASAP feels strongly about it because its like an assault on his relationship with Rih, almost like the guy trying to ruin their relationship,” sources said. “They’re one hundred percent not on speaking terms and its unlikely their recent recordings will see the light of day.”
Our sources told us that A$AP Rocky has privately denied the allegation. The Harlem rapper and Kanye West regularly spoke, and Ye and Rihanna also occasionally talked. “All of that changed after last week, all communication stopped,” sources said.
A$AP Rocky was also close friends with the late fashion icon Virgil Abloh who Kanye West also took aimed at in his rant, which further soured their friendship.
Earlier this year, Rocky and Kanye were spotted in the studio working on new music, with Pusha T also showing up to the recording. Now it seems that music will not see the light of day because of Ye’s rant.
Kanye last week hinted that he wanted to be considered as one of the artists to grace the stage alongside Rihanna, who was named as the headliner for the Super Bowl Half Time Show at the end of September.
The Donda rapper had posted on his Instagram Story a screenshot of a news headline that said he was in the line-up of artists to be chosen. However, his recent behavior brings into question whether he will be chosen for the big stage, as the artist seems bent on stirring up controversy at every opportunity.
This week has been unending with drama, and Yoon isn’t the first victim as Kanye continues to bash those who seem to disagree with him or support persons who stand up to him.
The rapper has been under fire for his controversial ‘White Lives Matter‘ shirts, which have cast a dark shadow on Paris Fashion Week with Kanye calculatingly stealing the spotlight from the fashion show. The controversy has spilled over for days after the Yeezy season 9 launch.
The rapper has been using his Instagram account as a tool to drag and bully anyone he disagrees with, including Vogue editor Gabriella Karefa-Johnson whose account and handle he shared so his 17 million followers can cyberbully her, Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber, and others.

Since Johnson’s eloquent “read” of Kanye’s WLM shirts earlier this week, several influential persons in the fashion world have spoken up and condemned Kanye’s antics. It seems, however, that he’s ready to wage war with anyone who doesn’t seem to be on his side, including fashion designer Tremaine Emory who called him out after he claimed that LVMH boss Bernard Arnault “killed” talented designer Virgil Abloh who served as Louis Vuitton, artistic director. The designer had passed away after losing a battle with cancer almost a year ago,
The post that Yoon liked was the one where Emory did not mince words when he slammed Kanye for being a hypocrite and using Abloh’s death to further his “victim campaign” after receiving backlash for the WLM shirts. He also accused Kanye of exercising unchristian-like behaviors during the rapper’s life and shortly after his death.
“This time last year you said Virgil’s designs are a disgrace to the Black community in font of all your employees at Yeezy,” Emory said to Kanye.
While he claims that Emory has threatened him, Kanye has reverted with his own threats as well, saying on Thursday (Oct 6), “You don’t have the money to make it out of this one alive.”

Jhené Aiko and Big Sean have revealed that they are expecting a baby boy.
The artists were on stage together in Los Angeles on Thursday night when Big Sean announced the gender of their first child together. “L.A., make some noise.” Aiko says, “Make some noise for our baby boy!” Sean says as he walks over to Aiko and hugs her from behind. “Make some noise for our baby boy!!”
Big Sean also serenaded the mother of his child with the song, “I’m Gonna Be,” as the crowd loudly cheers. Fans of the couple have speculated that they are expecting a baby boy, especially as Big Sean has been using blue heart emojis whenever he speaks about him and Aiko or the baby.
The couple’s first child was announced back in July by Big Sean, who shared a photo of her from her maternity shoot photo. The couple has been dating since 2016 and, at one point, broke up but reconnected in 2020.
The Detroit rapper has also expressed his excitement at his first child entering the world. Aiko already has a child from another relationship, but that has not stopped their collective excitement over the last few months. “Thank you. Can’t wait!” he wrote, adding the blue heart and infinity emoji.
As Jhene Aiko approached the last trimester of her pregnancy this month, Big Sean shared a sweet update regarding their child. “Life is changing!” he wrote on Instagram. “LottA Gratitude!”
Aiko, who is a mom to a girl Namiko, now 13, has been spotted out and about with her daughter. In previous interviews, she spoke about raising her daughter on her own.
“I hope that my story inspires other young moms to feel strong and driven,” she said in a 2017 interview before adding, “you can be responsible for your own income, provide a roof over your child’s head, be nurturing, maternal, and wear as many pants around the house as you need to,” she continued. “Moms, we can do it all.”
