Meek Mill Responds to Lil Baby Saying He Was One of the First Big Rappers to Co-Sign Him

Lil Baby says Meek Mill was the first big artist to show him support, which was apparently news to the Philly-born rapper. 

The Quality Control artist made the claim during a recent interview with Complex’s Speedy Morman, when he was asked to recall his first major co-sign.

“Meek Mill, he was the first person to post my mixtape, like the first rapper,” Baby said, seemingly referring to 2017’s Perfect Timing. “And I was already a super fan of Meek. Somebody told me, ‘You see Meek post your mixtape?’ And he was following me [on social media]…he was the first rapper ever, besides Thug and all them.”

Lil Baby said he and a girl were hanging out on a couch when he learned about the shoutout from Meek. He told Morman he was “kind of excited,” and he even called up one of his friends to share the big news.

Though it was an unforgettable moment for Baby, Meek admitted he didn’t remember giving the co-sign.

“I didn’t know this,” Meek wrote on Instagram, alongside an interview clip. “But Ima always support the trill when I hear it. @lilbaby keep snapping.”

Lil Baby and Meek have collaborated on a number of records over the years, including 2018’s “Time,” 2019’s “On the Road” with Post Malone, as well as 2021’s “Sharing Locations” and “Still Runnin” with Lil Durk.
