“I go to the studio and I make a little song but I put the little clip on Instagram and when I put it on my Instagram, Gucci Mane commented under like, ‘I’mma sign him.'” Lil Baby recalled. “And Thug was like, ‘he already signed to me.'”

Although he had two of the biggest artists out of Atlanta backing him, it was Young Thugwho really mentored him coming up in the rap game. He admitted that Thug had to put some money up in order for Baby to leave his neighborhood in order to go to the studio and record.

“Young Thug really paid me to leave the neighborhood,” he recalled. He continued to recount Thug persuading him into leaving the hood, offering to pay him for whatever wages he loses that day. “I was makin’ more money hustlin’ than I was rappin’ so I was more into hustlin’ but I wasn’t lookin’ at the bigger picture of rappin’ to where I am today,” he said.
