Why is Lil Baby Snatching Chains?

Lil Baby Chains

Jack Doherty might have over 15 million followers across platforms, but that clout hasn’t exactly made him controversy-proof. In fact, it’s kind of his whole brand.

Case in point: back in October, he got booted from Kick after crashing his McLaren live on stream—because he was looking at his phone instead of the road. You’d think the wreck would be the worst part, but no. His passenger clearly had a head injury, and Jack’s first instinct? Telling him to keep filming. Naturally, that earned him more enemies than fans. 

Not long after the crash, he was in headlines again for his infamous 21st birthday party featuring a short set from Lil Baby with a major price tag. According to DJ Akademiks, Doherty allegedly paid $200,000 for the performance, which was a “good deal.” Doherty recently decided to get back outside with Lil Baby again — but this time, it was really going to cost him. 

Lil Baby runs away with Doherty’s chain

As Doherty was in conversation with the rapper at the club on June 11, Lil Baby smoothly slid Doherty’s chain off of his neck and claimed it as his own. Adding even more insult to injury, Lil Baby gave Doherty a noogie like you would to your little cousin and still didn’t give it back.

After the club, Doherty pulled up to Lil Baby’s G-Wagon and begged for his chain back. Nevertheless, the rapper didn’t budge and even told him to “call the police” before driving off. Hours later, the rapper posted that the “bag was secured” — but it seems like the streamer eventually got his piece back. 

This isn’t the first time Doherty has had his jewelry snatched, with allegedly $300,000 in chains being yanked off him in April (of course, he was streaming while it happened). Hopefully, Doherty and his security can keep a more watchful eye. 

Was Lil Baby in the wrong?

Drake Had Plans During K.Dot’s Toronto Show — But Now He’s MIA

Drake and K. Dot Toronto Show

Drake and Kai Cenat have had a friendship that could best be described as chaotically casual. One minute, Drizzy’s giving Cenat a shoutout on For All The Dogs and calling him mid-stream like a proud uncle tuning in. The next, he’s name-dropping Cenat in his lawsuit, specifically as one of the streamers who helped turn “Not Like Us” into a global roast session.

You can always count on Drake to keep things petty and playful. 

Despite the awkward lawsuit cameo, the two seem to be on solid ground again. Drake apparently even took Cenat’s feedback to heart after the streamer flamed the visuals for “NOKIA” during an April review, saying it wasn’t a “banger” and (respectfully) he should’ve been the one directing it.

Post on X

“…I don’t think that’s a song where you got to do symbolism…We’re looking for color, we’re looking for arcades, we’re looking for roller skating rinks. That’s what it gave me. We’re looking for going to modern day to as soon as the beat changes, we’re in the ’90s now. You see the vision?” Cenat said. 

Apparently, Drake did see the vision—because now Cenat’s helping him and PARTYNEXTDOOR pick the director for the “SOMEBODY LOVES ME” music video. On stream in May, Cenat revealed they’ll be choosing 20 winners, each walking away with $15K to bring their treatments to life. 

Drizzy won't be streaming away the pain

Now comes the most Drake part of all: the announcement stream to choose the winner was supposed to happen on June 12 at 8 PM ET. Which just so happens to be the exact time Lamar hits the stage in Toronto with SZA for his GNT tour stop.

“We were blown away by the creativity and thought poured into each submission. We were suppose to go live today but needed a little extra time to review them. Tomorrow DRAKE & I gonna go through some of the submission with you guys, share some of my favorites and some of the not so good ones and let ya’ll know which 20 ppl [are] getting money to bring their treatments to life,” Cenat said via his IG Stories. 

Yes, that means Lamar is performing in Drizzy’s hometown for the first time since their beef blew up. Obviously, the fans had to point out the obvious online. 

Post on X

However, there was more drama to come. Just hours before the stream was set to go live, Cenat popped up with a casual announcement: they’re “pushing the stream back a few more days.” Insert Lamar’s sinister Super Bowl grin here. There were supposedly too many submissions to sort through.

Maybe Drake wasn’t in the mood to watch Twitch chat light up with “THEY NOT LIKE US” all night long. Maybe there actually were a bunch of dope treatments that the team couldn’t decide between. Given how tense things have been between him and Lamar lately, the delay feels less like a scheduling hiccup and more like a strategic retreat—but who knows?

Will you still tune in to the Drake x Cenat stream despite the delay?
