Lil Baby is under fire after being accused of inflating the revenue claims for his new cannabis strain, WHAM. The controversy erupted when the rapper’s brand, The Holding Company, shared a graphic boasting $30.4 million in sales from over 327,000 orders since the strain’s launch at the beginning of the year. However, when the claim was reposted by social media personality Akademiks, fans were quick to express their skepticism, suggesting that the figures might be far-fetched.
Comments ranged from critiques of the graphic’s authenticity to outright disbelief over the reported figures. One user pointed out discrepancies, declaring, “This isn’t a real Shopify screenshot lol. Font is incorrect.” Another chimed in with a calculated rebuttal, stating, “You Can’t Sell US Bullshit…We know the prices.” The skepticism continued, with fans urging Lil Baby to make his claims more believable.
Despite the uproar surrounding his cannabis venture, Lil Baby’s musical career continues to thrive. His latest album, also titled WHAM, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, outperforming major artists like Bad Bunny and Kendrick Lamar. This marks his fourth number-one album, following the success of projects like “It’s Only Me” and his collaboration with Lil Durk, “The Voice of the Heroes.”
Scheduled to follow up with another album titled “Dominique,” Lil Baby is clearly focused on maintaining his momentum in the music industry. He has described WHAM as embodying a youthful, carefree lifestyle, while “Dominique” is set to showcase a more introspective side of the artist.
As Lil Baby navigates this tumultuous moment, it remains to be seen how he will address the allegations regarding his weed strain revenue. Will he clarify the situation, or will he let his music continue to speak for itself? One thing is for sure: Lil Baby’s journey is anything but ordinary.
