Lil Baby was unimpressed by an AI-inspired filter that turned him into an animated version of himself.
The rapper recently decided to have some fun with TikTok’s AI filter and made an animated version of himself. It was clear, though, that the rapper was not a fan of the final results.
Although the cartoon image is pretty solid, the eyes are noticeably off. “Awww, hell nah, I know my fans can do better than this.” He then invited his fans to turn him into a mummy.
The move seems to be in line with his new manga-inspired collaboration with AXE Body Spray. The rapper has teamed up with the fragrance company for his own special product, Golden Manga.
In other related news, Lil Baby got roasted on social media earlier this month for an Instagram post where he appears to have gained a few pounds around his middle – leading to the internet saying he has “auntie hips.”
However, the music still reigns and back in April the rapper announced his headlining It’s Only Us Tour, and he’s bringing GloRilla, The Kid LAROI and more with him for the summer 2023 trek.
Baby revealed plans for the IOU Tour with a cinematic trailer shared on Instagram, which shows him relaxing in the pool when he comes up with the idea for the cross-country trek. He then FaceTimes LAROI and Big Glo, along with fellow supporting acts Hxncho, Gloss Up and 4PF representative Rylo Rodriguez, to see if they’d be down to join him on the road.
The 32-date tour kicks off on July 26 in Houston. From there, Lil Baby and co. will venture through Los Angeles, Oakland, Chicago, Washington, D.C., Boston, Baltimore, Memphis, Charlotte and New Orleans, among other cities, before wrapping things up on September 22 in Fort Lauderdale.
Tickets are on sale now via Ticketmaster.
The roadshow comes in support of Lil Baby’s third album It’s Only Me, which dropped in October 2022. Boasting appearances from Future, Young Thug, EST Gee and more, the project debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 with 216,000 first-week sales and has since been certified platinum.
