Lil Baby Lost $8M Gambling, Had To Stop Himself
Lil Baby recently opened up about a jaw-dropping moment that led him to quit gambling for good.
Speaking on Lil Yachty‘s A Safe Place Podcast, the 29-year-old artist revealed that he lost a staggering $8 million in a single gambling spree, lasting roughly 40 hours.
The overwhelming loss pushed him to take drastic measures to break his gambling habit.
“One day, probably [in] like 40 hours straight, I lost like $8 million, $9 million,” Lil Baby admitted. “I made myself stop gambling.”
The magnitude of the loss even prompted his friend, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, to step in.
Rubin wrote letters on Lil Baby’s behalf to casinos, asking them to ban the rapper from their establishments.
This isn’t the first time Lil Baby has caught attention for his high-stakes gambling.
Back in 2022, he admitted to losing $600,000 in one night while gambling with Drake in the Bahamas, further cementing his history with risky bets.

However, this recent incident appears to have been the tipping point, motivating him to regain control of his lifestyle.
Despite the financial blow, Lil Baby remains focused on his music career.
He’s gearing up to release his highly anticipated fourth album, WHAM (Who Hard as Me), on January 3, 2025.
With this new phase, it seems the rapper is determined to turn the page and focus firmly on his craft.
His revelation serves as a stark reminder that even amid fame and fortune, self-discipline and boundaries are key to long-term success.
