Lil Baby has just made some very important and meaningful purchases recently for a couple of reasons. In his first-ever “WHAM VLOG” posted to his official YouTube channel, the Georgia rapper bought a handful of properties in an Atlanta neighborhood.
According to XXL, they are specifically located in Oakland City. As Lil Baby shows in the five-minute video, the area is going under some renovations. Specifically, quite a few homes are being built. While that’s great, Lil Baby wants to preserve at least a few of them for sentimental and financial reasons.
Firstly, he reveals that he’s nabbing the older properties for his kids, Jason and Loyal Armani. “I made history in this same exact spot, now I’m making history again. I’m buying it for my son. They trying to take our neighborhood, I gotta put my foot down. I gotta have me some. Save the streets,” he says.
But what is that point about history? Well, Lil Baby follows that up by adding, “It’s like a strategy to me buying the houses. I’m buying all the houses, all the properties I used to hustle in front of. It was times when this was abandoned and I still was standing here while it was abandoned. No lights… water. No nothing. Just me and the smokers.”

There’s a chance that some of these places he has will be turned into affordable living for other families. It’s also a way for him to expand on his wealth outside of music, which can be very volatile…
