Lil Baby’s slurry verse on Trippie Redd’s “Fully Loaded” prompted a polarizing reaction from listeners, especially viral streamer Kai Cenat.
K.C. had a few things to see during his live stream while listening to Trippie’s Mansion Musik album over the weekend and he didn’t believe Baby’s effort lived up to the expectations he’s set throughout his decorated career.
“Nah, man, what the fuck? Bro, what the fuck? You’re held here with priorities, right? You know my expectations is here, right?” he said with his hand raised above his head. “Did you just moan in the mic?”

Kai Cenat wasn’t the only angry fan critical of Baby’s performance as plenty of Akademiks’ followers flooded his comment section under Cenat’s viral reaction.
“Dead thought my phone was glitching,” one person wrote while another betrayed fan added: “By far baby worse verse ever!”
Some others said that Trippie needed to get his refund for the verses or he hopefully got two for the price of one.
The hypnotic “Fully Loaded” also features an assist from Future, but that wasn’t Lil Baby’s only appearance on the project, as he guested on “Dark Brotherhood” a few tracks later.
The show goes on for Lil Baby who will serve as the musical guest on the next episode of Saturday Night Live this upcoming weekend with actor Michael B. Jordan taking on hosting duties.
Regardless, Lil Baby is coming off of a monumental 2022. Nabbing 40 Hot 100 singles for the year, he tied with his DJ Khaled “Staying Alive” collaborator Drake for the most Billboard Hot 100 placements of 2022. The feat was accomplished thanks in large part to his third studio album, It’s Only Me.
When the project’s 23-song tracklist entered the Hot 100 charts in its first week, the Atlanta native became the youngest solo artist — and the third overall — to land an entire album onto the chart. The release also joined “Staying Alive” and 2017’s “Freestyle” to give Baby 25 songs on the coveted list simultaneously.
