50 Cent praised DaBaby & Lil Wayne’s new collab “Lonely”.
DaBaby recently dropped a new song “Lonely“, a collaboration with Lil Wayne, whom he called the best rapper alive. The song was dedicated to DaBaby’s late brother Glen Johnson and was about mental health. “Mental Health Awareness matters,” wrote DaBaby. “100% of us either deal with or know someone who is dealing with issues revolving around mental health on a daily basis. Take a moment after watching this video and check on your loved ones.” The “Lonely” track from DaBaby and Lil Wayne now gets huge praise from 50 Cent, who had been supporting the controversial rapper since their meeting a few months ago.
50 Cent took to his social media to share the song and called it the best on mental health. “This is the best song i have heard about mental health. they snapped on this one,” wrote 50 Cent. It is a huge praise, considering there are songs from 2Pac [So Many Tears], DMX [Slippin], Biggie [Suicidal Thoughts], and some of the Hip-Hop legends about the mental health issue.

A music video for the song was also released earlier this week, which already garnered around 6 million views. The crazy video shows DaBaby in a joker attire inside a mental hospital.
DaBaby makes his bars come to life in the video by dressing as a clown and goes on a murdering rampage around town while wearing a smile on his face. Baby has “LLG” tattooed on his forehead as a tribute to his deceased sibling, who took his own life in 2020.
After that, he talks about the stigmas associated with mental illness and being confined to a facility where he’s monitored and given medications while surrounded by other mental health sufferers. When he seems to awaken from his girl in bed after a dream, the clown outfit is still hanging in his chamber.
DaBaby also visited nine HIV awareness groups in order to participate in “constructive discourse” and learn more about the condition.
“The open letter to DaBaby was our way to extend him the same grace each of us would hope for,” the organizations shared in a statement. “Our goal was to ‘call him in instead of calling him out.’ We believed that if he connected with Black leaders living with HIV that a space for community building and healing could be created. We are encouraged he swiftly answered our call and joined us in a meaningful dialogue and a thoughtful, educational meeting.”
