Lil Baby’s WHAM World Tour stop in Atlanta turned into a whole dramatic movie moment — and not because of the music. After his show at State Farm Arena on June 7, the rapper was doing a meet-and-greet when one fan legit fainted into his arms.
In a now-viral video, you can see the fan swaying and falling forward as she gets close to Lil Baby — who, to his credit, caught her like a gentleman before security swooped in to help. The moment was both wild and kind of sweet. She was back on her feet shortly after, smiling like she just met Beyoncé backstage. Maybe she just got overwhelmed being that close to her favorite rapper, or maybe it was the lights, heat, or excitement. Either way, it was definitely a moment.

According to AllHipHop, Lil Baby barely had time to blink before he instinctively caught her, avoiding what could’ve been a nasty fall. Folks online were split: some thought it was just a harmless case of being starstruck, while others swore she did it on purpose.
“That’s embarrassing and he didn’t even catch her,” one user commented.
“She went straight to him, grabbing his arm the whole time and smiling,” another added.

Whether it was genuine or a little performance, it definitely made headlines.
Lil Baby’s WHAM World Tour has been full of big energy. It supports his latest album WHAM (Who Hard As Me), which debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200. The tour kicked off June 3 in Houston and runs through July 1, wrapping up at the new Intuit Dome in L.A. Artists like Rob49, Loe Shimmy, and (formerly) BigXthaPlug have been joining him on stage — though BigX had to tap out due to a foot injury, as reported here.
So, between chart-topping albums, a stacked lineup, and fainting fans, it’s safe to say Lil Baby is having a summer to remember.
