50 Cent Reacts to Lil Baby’s Shocking $8 Million Gambling Loss
50 Cent has shared his thoughts on Lil Baby’s jaw-dropping admission about losing $8 million to $9 million in a casino within just two days. The incident, which occurred during a recent appearance on Lil Yachty’s “A Safe Place” podcast, left both fans and peers stunned, and 50 Cent was no exception.
The G-Unit mogul, known for his quick wit and humorous takes on situations, couldn’t help but comment on the wild revelation. Over the weekend, he posted a clip of Lil Baby reflecting on the staggering gambling loss. The clip shows Lil Baby joking about how relieved he was that no one lost their life over the incident.
50 Cent’s reaction was a mix of disbelief and humor. He expressed his astonishment on Instagram, saying, “Nah these young [ninjas] crazy. 8 million Gambling. I thought only Floyd do s### like that. LOL, come out the joint looking distraught. I’m just glad he didn’t kill nobody.”
This comment references 50 Cent’s long-standing playful rivalry with boxing champion Floyd Mayweather, who has also been known for his extravagant spending and gambling habits. Despite the playful jab at Floyd, 50 Cent was clearly taken aback by Lil Baby’s revelation.
Lil Baby shared that his $8-9 million loss occurred over the course of just 40 hours, which ultimately led him to quit gambling for good. The rapper explained that he made the decision to stop gambling altogether after the massive loss. He took the extreme step of having his longtime friend, Fanatics CEO Michael Rubin, draft a letter to ban him from all casinos. “I had Mike Rubin write a letter to every casino and ban me from the casino,” Lil Baby confessed during the podcast.
The experience, while shocking, served as a wake-up call for the “BAND4BAND” rapper. Lil Baby admitted that the loss, although substantial, helped him recognize the destructive nature of gambling, prompting him to leave the habit behind.
In addition to discussing his gambling history, Lil Baby also reflected on his relationship with Michael Rubin, a prominent business figure and philanthropist. Lil Baby mentioned the viral photo of the two of them at a party last year, adding some personal context to their friendship.
As for his music career, Lil Baby is already looking forward to the future. He revealed that in 2025, fans can expect two major album releases from the rapper: WHAM (Who Hard As Me) and Dominique. With these albums in the works, Lil Baby’s future in music is as bright as ever, even as he leaves his gambling past behind.
It’s clear that Lil Baby is not just making moves in the music industry but also learning from his personal experiences and growth, something that 50 Cent seems to appreciate, despite his playful teasing.
