If you’ve been watching internet beefs turn into “meet me in the ring” moments, this one hits a little different. In the clip making the rounds, Adin Ross claims Lil Baby is open to boxing me, DJ Akademiks, as long as the money is right. And the second I heard that, I went from casual streamer mode to full-on, “Put it on the calendar” energy.
The moment Adin Ross put the idea on the table
Por el agente 00-Tea
I’m watching the clip like, hold up, run that back. Adin says he spoke to Lil Baby on the phone and Lil Baby is “down” if there’s a bag involved. That’s the key line. He’s down, with a price. Not “maybe,” not “we’ll see,” not “tell him stop talking.” It’s the type of statement that instantly turns a messy back-and-forth into something that could be booked like an event.
My reaction was pure adrenaline. I’m saying, on stream, I can’t wait to get to Adin because I want the details. Not to play internet telephone, but to pin it down so it can’t turn into, “Nah, I never said that.” Once it’s stated publicly, it changes everything. Pride becomes a contract, even before a contract shows up.
And I’m not acting like I need five different “perfect conditions” to show up. My whole angle is, if the other side is serious, I’m serious. If they’re not serious, I’m going to treat every new excuse like a new joke that writes itself.
For anyone trying to understand why this caught fire, it’s because it sits right on the border between entertainment and ego. If Lil Baby really meant it, it’s a real conversation. If he didn’t, the internet will still hold him to it.
My terms were simple: “Whatever he gets, give me half”
The funniest part is people love to claim I’d “duck” when I’m the one begging to lock it. I said it plainly: I’m down. I’m not doing the slow dance where someone says, “I’d fight, but…” and then hides behind logistics forever.
So I laid out the cleanest money proposal possible: whatever Lil Baby gets, give me half. That’s it. No maze. No mystery.
A few examples I gave, because numbers make things real:
- If he gets $5 million, I take $2.5 million.
- If he gets $2 million, I take $1 million.
- If he gets $250,000, I take $125,000.
The point wasn’t to sound like a negotiator. It was to remove the classic excuse: “He’s asking for too much.” I’m not even asking for equal pay. I’m acknowledging he’s the rapper with the mainstream profile, and I’m still saying, cool, just don’t play in my face.
Then I put a weight cut on the table. I’m around 215, and I said give me about 60 to 90 days and I’ll get down to around 180 to 185. Yes, that’s a real cut. Yes, that’s uncomfortable. That’s also why it’s a serious offer.
This is where Brand Risk comes in, because it’s the event umbrella everyone keeps mentioning. If you’re confused on what that even is, this Brand Risk explainer helps frame why these matchups keep popping up.
I called Whack 100 on stream because I wanted real pressure
Once I heard “we need the right people to put together the money,” I didn’t want the moment to die in group chats. So I called Whack 100 while live. I wanted somebody who understands how these things get done, promoters, contacts, and the ability to apply pressure without it turning into a six-month tease.
I told him straight: get with Adin. If Lil Baby’s side is asking for a bag, cool, go find out what that bag is, and I’m automatically in. I even repeated the same terms because I didn’t want any confusion later.
Whack’s response was basically, “You want me to put it together?” Yes. That’s the whole point.
We also talked timing. Late March came up as a possible window. Training locations came up too, including Miami. And I’m saying I’ll train anywhere if it means we actually lock the fight.
The bigger angle is the card. On stream, other possible matchups got mentioned, like:
- Blueface vs. Jason Love
- Offset vs. Finesse 2x
- Me vs. Lil Baby
If that’s the lineup, that’s not just a fight, that’s a content Super Bowl for this corner of hip-hop and streaming.
Then I took it a step further: I offered Whack 15 percent of my purse if he helps make it happen. That’s me putting my money where my mouth is, because I want the booking energy to match the talking.
Why I don’t trust the “right bag” line, and why receipts matter
Here’s my issue with “I’m down for the right money.” That phrase can be real, or it can be a stall tactic. The stall looks like this: you say yes publicly, knowing the other side might not secure sponsors quickly, then you later act like you were always ready. It’s a clean escape hatch.
That’s why I said I’d do daily updates if needed. Not because I’m trying to annoy people, but because I don’t want the story to quietly disappear and then come back as revisionist history.
I also brought up past direct messages between me and Lil Baby, because it wasn’t always public. According to what I said on stream, there was a moment where locations were exchanged privately, and when it came time to actually link, the energy shifted into, “you’ve been trolling,” and the moment died. I didn’t share any private addresses, and I’m not interested in doxxing or street theater. I’m interested in one thing: a real, regulated fight where nobody can rewrite what happened afterward.
That’s why I wanted my team to tweet out that Lil Baby “agreed in principle” (based on what Adin said), so I could quote it and essentially sign off in public. It’s accountability, not chaos.
Conclusión
If Lil Baby is really “down,” then the path is simple: name the number, set the weight, pick the date. I already made my purse stance clear, and I’m not hiding behind endless conditions. Now it’s on the paperwork and the follow-through, because accountability is the only thing the internet respects more than a viral clip.
