Many viewers mistook the City Girl’s question to the Atlanta MC—”If I throw it back, can you catch it?”—for a straight offer during the show.
It seemed like love was in the air when Yung Miami and Lil Baby had such chemistry during a recent concert. On top of that, before moving on to the following song, the two Quality Control performers came out onto the stage and teased each other. A City Girl approached the Atlanta MC and asked, “Can you catch it if I throw it back?” She then knelt down as he passed past her. In the grand scheme of things, it appeared to be nothing more than a sideshow, but that didn’t stop the rumor mill from getting to work. Besides their shared Christmas traditions, they are not romantically involved with one another and each has their own family to attend to.
The subject of relationships in the rap industry is, of course, very divisive right now, according to Yung Miami. This is because of her history with Diddy, which came under intense scrutiny after other women accused him of sexual abuse. Caresha, who has been mum on the subject of the claims and her relationship with Sean Combs, is understandably the object of her admirers’ growing anxiety. Whatever the case may be, many are crossing their fingers that she isn’t enduring the same purported trials that the Bad Boy mogul did to others.Lil Baby is reportedly working on his next album, all the while Yung Miami tries to maintain a level head amidst all this commotion. He recently stated that he’s “finishing it up,” so listeners should anticipate a release in 2024, possibly during the summer or first quarter. The “350” spitter still has what it takes when it comes to cutting flows, reflecting on his life, and making hits, even though It’s Only Me wasn’t his favorite production. Perhaps he will be motivated to incorporate more club hits into his sound by his label partner in Miami.
Regardless, as long as these artists’ future endeavors remain creative and not exploitative, we will eagerly await their decisions. If they remain focused, they will be able to overcome industry drama as well as legal and familial resistance. If it means keeping Yung Miami out of Diddy’s present media maelstrom, fans may even begin to ship them as an item.
