Why is Lil Baby’s arena tour flopping? Is it too soon for him?

[reserved_one]

The man Lil Bay compared himself to Lil Wayne had to crossover before he started performing and selling out arenas.

I can’t see Lil Baby ever making a lolipop, a she will or a bedrock type of records and going all the way pop. His music is popular but not on the level of The Weeknds, Taylor Swifts of the world.

I fukk with dude but it’s too soon for them arenas. Slow down my g.

People keep saying that all these old ways to measure success are dead when actually it seems that the old ways would help some of these artists lol. Rappers back in the day were household names with less help than these guys have now.

She actually got her start acting on Disney Channel and a high school musical series. She's basically Miley Cyrus, Selena Gomez, and Arianna Grande for the new coming of age generation.

Wayne didn't headline anything until he was a decade in.

‘‘Twas a joke

Bruh WTF is this shyt

I like pop music but sheesh, are this many kids really heart broken to like this shyt?

 

[Killer Instinct]

Lil Baby and Da Baby are different people?

 

[How Sway?]

Lil baby is definitely "Hood famous" or Mainstream in 'urban' America (i.e. black people and some latinos) (Same with durk and pooh shiesty etc)

but he really hasn't really crossed over yet like a drake or 2010 wiz khalifa. or Even lil uzi or travis scott

no shade there's just certain artists that can sell out an arena

Yeah I don't get it. I'm still mad Alessia Cara ain't become a thing. She's way more talented and less contrived than these other girls:

 

[Wacky D]

Hood artists pack arenas too.

Question is, who else was on the bill?

 

[Piff Perkins]

Arena too big

You the main dude who has spent a year crowning this dude, claiming he's the biggest rapper next to Drake. Take your L.

Lil Baby is big and yes, part of this has to do with young black fans spending their money differently than white fans+older black fans. But this is an L.

No crossover hits

This the lil baby era I keep getting told

Is he really trying to headline a nationwide arena tour though? Or are these just spot dates? If he’s really doing a full blown arena tour run it seems like he skipped a step…seems like he would be the obvious candidate to head one of those corporate urban radio helmed outside amphitheater summer fests…where it’s pretty much every act with a urban hit the past 8 months on the bill and the local radio station promotes the shyt literally every 15 minutes of every hour of every day for like 2 months straight
