Lil Baby has addressed the comments made by Young Thug’s father, Jeffrey Williams Sr., regarding allegations of a diss aimed at Gunna. Responding to the criticism in a now-deleted comment on an Instagram post discussing Williams Sr.’s remarks, Baby cryptically wrote, “IYKYK” (an acronym for “if you know, you know”). This indirect response elicited various reactions from followers, some calling for a more detailed explanation while others defended his approach.
Williams Sr. recently commented on the ongoing YSL RICO trial involving his son, Young Thug, expressing frustration with Lil Baby’s “350” lyrics. These lyrics were perceived as critical of Gunna following his Alford plea deal in the case. Williams Sr. stated, “He needs to shut the fk up because he doesn’t know what’s going on. He’s going off what he heard. Ask Lil Baby have he ever come to a court date. See, that’s what I want y’all to ask these goddmn rappers and bloggers with this whole ‘snitch’ s**t.”
Gunna’s plea and subsequent release from jail have sparked controversy in the Hip Hop community. Artists like Lil Durk and Boosie Badazz openly criticized Gunna, labeling him a snitch. In a conversation with DJ Akademiks, Lil Durk expressed disdain for those who don’t maintain silence in legal matters, stating, “That man told. You should’ve went in there and kept your mouth closed… If you a rat, you a rat.” Boosie highlighted the leniency of Gunna’s charge.
In contrast, Williams Sr. had previously expressed support for the “fukumean” hitmaker, stating that Gunna has not negatively impacted the YSL case. In a separate interview with legal affairs journalist Infamous Sylvia, Williams Sr. affirmed, “I love Gunna. Gunna hasn’t done anything whatsoever that can hurt us on this case. Period.” Despite the controversy, Gunna firmly denied snitching on Young Thug or other co-defendants, emphasizing his intention not to be involved in the trial process.
