Lil Baby has ignited a firestorm of speculation and debate within the hip-hop community following the leak of a snippet from his upcoming track “Otha Boy.” The one-minute, 42-second preview, shared on X (formerly Twitter) by user @lilbabythegreat, features lyrics that many listeners interpret as veiled disses aimed at fellow rappers Gunna and Offset.
In the snippet, Lil Baby raps:
“Make a rapper take his clothes off, that boy a male stripper / Push up on ’em at the gym, I hope a n**** do they push-ups.”
While the lyrics do not explicitly name Gunna or Offset, the references seem pointed. Gunna has been noted for his fitness regimen, often sharing workout content on social media, which aligns with the “push-ups” line. Additionally, the phrase “male stripper” has been interpreted by some fans as a subtle jab at Offset, though this connection is more tenuous.
The timing of the leak adds fuel to the fire. With the release of Lil Baby’s album The Leak$ scheduled for September 5, 2025, and its tracklist featuring collaborations with artists like Playboi Carti, Young Thug, Lil Yachty, and LUCKI, the snippet has garnered significant attention. The album’s title itself—The Leak$—suggests a deliberate strategy to capitalize on the buzz generated by these leaks.
This incident is the latest in a series of public tensions among Atlanta’s rap elite. Lil Baby and Gunna, once collaborators, have seen their relationship sour following Gunna’s controversial plea deal during the YSL RICO trial. Lil Baby has openly expressed his disapproval of Gunna’s actions, and this new track appears to further underscore the rift.
The dynamics between Lil Baby, Gunna, and Offset have been a topic of intrigue for fans and industry insiders alike. While the artists have not publicly addressed the alleged disses, the leaked snippet has undoubtedly intensified the discourse surrounding their relationships and the broader Atlanta rap scene.
As the release date for The Leak$ approaches, all eyes will be on Lil Baby to see if the full tracklist and its content provide further insight into his perspectives on his peers. For now, fans and critics alike are left to dissect the lyrics and speculate on the underlying messages within “Otha Boy.”
