DaBaby Doesn’t Care About BET Awards Snub: “I Made $4M Today”
Everyone is talking about the BET Hip-Hop Awards, which aired this week. Specifically, people are concerned about what they got wrong.
While the BET Hip-Hop Awards have always been fun to watch because of the cyphers, people have been criticizing the network because of some of the choices they made with the actual awards, including Artist Of The Year and Album Of The Year.
Becoming the first artist to release a double-platinum album this year, Lil Baby was the favorite to win in the Album Of The Year category but he ended up losing to Roddy Ricch and Please Excuse Me For Being Antisocial, which seemingly upset him. In the Artist Of The Year category, he lost to Megan Thee Stallion, which sparked outrage across social media.
As for DaBaby, the Charlotte rapper went into the night with the most nominations out of anybody, scoring two nods in the Album Of The Year category alone. At the end of the night though, he found his hands empty, losing all twelve of his nominations. He has already addressed the off-night, stating that he’s all good with the results, and now, he’s further explaining why he doesn’t really care too much.
“I made 4M$ today,” wrote DaBaby on Instagram, sharing a dripped-out picture of himself wearing a Gucci sweatsuit, complete with a bucket hat, a gigantic chain, and rings on nearly every finger.
You can see why he’s not too peeved about the loss.
Still though, do you think he deserved to take home any specific categories?

Firecamino maintains folk storytelling with new release “Juan The Baptist”
“Juan the Baptist” is a stunning single by Firecamino, blending vivid storytelling with charming melody. The laid-back indie song with folk and country influences sounds like an ancient story told around a campfire after a long night.
The song’s central character is a misguided hero, vulnerable and human. Firecamino emphasizes imperfection over perfection, creating a relatable protagonist. That storytelling gives the song a cinematic, intimate feel.
“Juan the Baptist” handles several musical influences well. Folk-inspired writing and country textures add emotion and familiarity. Meanwhile, the cool indie vibe smooths the edges and lets the track flow naturally without being dramatic.

Lisa Jo finds freedom in chaos, breaking the loop on new release “Runnin in Circles”
Lisa Jo’s latest single, “Runnin in Circles,” is a captivating look at spiritual surrender and emotional exhaustion. The song’s painful cycle of self-destruction and setbacks makes it personal but universally relatable. The song is for anyone who’s been stuck in their own patterns, trying to break free from repeating mistakes.
“Runnin in Circles” captures the emotional exhaustion of repeated rock bottoms. Lisa Jo vividly depicts inner conflict and self-sabotage becoming all too familiar and devastating. The song embraces the emotional wreckage of “burning your own house down,” which is raw and honest.
Evolution makes this record strong. “Runnin in Circles” slowly moves toward surrender and release instead of staying in the dark. Lisa Jo explores that difficult yet transformative moment when control passes to something greater. The spiritual element gives the song depth and resonates beyond heartbreak and frustration. The song’s messiness is lovely. Healing isn’t polished here. Lisa Jo accepts the hard truth of growth, the confusion, the setbacks, and the painful realization that change often happens after the emotional bottom falls out.
