Lil Baby’s “Running Sh*t” on WHAM Deluxe: Subtle Shots at Gunna and a Bold Diss
Lil Baby has just released the deluxe edition of his latest album, WHAM. While it’s not yet available on streaming platforms, the deluxe version is up for digital purchase, much to the excitement of fans. This new iteration of the album features four additional tracks, with “Running Sh*t” standing out as a highlight. The song features some intense lyrics, particularly aimed at “rats,” a term widely believed to be directed at Lil Baby’s former friend and collaborator, Gunna.
“Running Sh*t” is one of the most aggressive tracks on the WHAM deluxe edition, with Lil Baby delivering a forceful performance over a catchy, hard-hitting beat. The most striking element of the song, however, is the lyrics. In a bold and direct line, Lil Baby spits, “I don’t care what he did, he a rat still. And I said what I said, don’t @ me.” While no names are explicitly mentioned, fans quickly began speculating that the rapper’s words were aimed at Gunna, especially considering their past fallout and the ongoing drama surrounding the YSL case.
The tension between Lil Baby and Gunna has been a topic of much discussion ever since Gunna’s alleged involvement in the case against Young Thug. Gunna has repeatedly denied claims that he cooperated with authorities, but Lil Baby’s recent comments, including those on “Running Sh*t,” leave little room for doubt about his stance. Notably, Lil Baby has been vocal about his refusal to work with anyone he believes to be a “rat,” and has previously stated on the Safe Place podcast that such actions are unforgivable in the rap world.
The controversy surrounding Gunna reached new heights with a similar reference in Young Thug’s track “Dum, Dumb and Dumber” from the WHAM album. Thug’s social media post clarifying a lyric about “b*tches” being “bad” did little to quell the fan theories, as many took it as another subtle jab at Gunna. Both Lil Baby and Young Thug have yet to directly address the situation, but their disdain for the so-called “rat” behavior has been made abundantly clear.
Lil Baby has a history of using his music to convey his thoughts on loyalty and betrayal, and WHAM is no exception. With “Running Sh*t,” he continues to set the record straight, reaffirming his position on those who betray their friends and colleagues. The song, alongside the other new tracks on the deluxe version, ensures that WHAM will be remembered as an album that doesn’t shy away from controversy or confrontation.
As for Gunna, while he’s continued to defend his actions, it seems unlikely that a collaboration between him and Lil Baby will happen anytime soon. Fans of both artists will likely continue to scrutinize their lyrics for any further hints about their strained relationship, as both continue to move forward in their careers.
WHAM Deluxe is available for digital purchase, and it’s clear that Lil Baby’s new music will continue to dominate conversations as long as these unresolved issues remain.
