An old claim that Lil Baby paid adult film performer Ms. London for sex is circulating again on X after Akademiks posted screenshots and clips from the 2020 episode amid ongoing public friction between the two.
In early December 2020, days after Lil Baby turned 26 and following his Ice Ball event plus a Las Vegas trip, Ms. London posted a series of since-deleted tweets. She wrote that she returned home “6K richer & full of 1942,” described “the best d*** I ever had” from “a millionaire who didn’t say more than two full sentences,” and added that he “literally beat me to the mattress soon as I got in the room.” She referenced Jayda Cheaves, then Lil Baby’s girlfriend and mother of their son Loyal, with the line “jayda not leaving this man ever.” She later raised the figure to $16,000, saying Zelle transfer limits forced a split payment of $9,000 followed by the balance. She also mentioned a possible NDA and said she was extremely drunk at the time of the posts, as first detailed in contemporary coverage from Billboard.
Lil Baby responded on Twitter in posts that were also later deleted. He called the claims clout-chasing: “I get it!! Say Baby name get clout. Y’all need to stop the desperate s***.” He stated that Jayda had been with him the entire birthday weekend, including the Vegas portion. Ms. London then posted screenshots of alleged direct messages she attributed to him. The messages read in part: “What’s the point of paying if you do all that!! You fuccin the game up!! If I pay for pussy youn supposed to speak on it. That’s bad business mama.”
Within a day or two, Ms. London posted clarifying tweets that have also largely been deleted. She said she had been drinking, the dates “were just not aligned” so the encounter was not during the birthday weekend, the information was “factual” but she had spoken too loudly, she had apologized privately, Lil Baby “loves his girl,” and the public should “stop trending and let them be in love.” She maintained they had seen each other while he was with Jayda. Jayda Cheaves indicated the matter was being handled privately. Ayesha Howard, mother of Lil Baby’s other son, publicly criticized the reported spending against what she described as roughly $2,000 a month in child support at the time.
In October 2022 on The Breakfast Club, Lil Baby addressed the $16,000 figure directly. “Man that is so untrue… I never paid anybody $16,000 to do nothing. Ever,” he said. He acknowledged paying people “to leave” amounts of a couple thousand dollars depending on location and urgency, but he denied paying for sex. The 2020 exchange and the 2022 clarification remain the primary on-record statements from both sides. No independent contemporaneous confirmation of any payment or the exact nature of an encounter has been produced beyond the parties’ statements and the alleged screenshots posted by Ms. London.
Current recirculations on X in November 2026 frequently add details that do not appear in the original 2020 posts or contemporaneous reporting, including equating the sum to a down payment on a 2023 Rolls-Royce Cullinan. Akademiks has shared the material alongside other commentary tied to prior public exchanges with Lil Baby, including a 2022 album line that referenced internet critics. Lil Baby, whose legal name is Dominique Armani Jones, was already a major commercial force in 2020 with the album My Turn. His relationship with Jayda Cheaves, which began around 2016, was publicly on-and-off; they later shifted primarily to co-parenting. Ms. London, an American performer active in adult films since roughly 2018 and originally from the Norfolk, Virginia area before basing on the West Coast, has described herself at points as a law student and received a 2022 Pornhub fan-voted Favorite BBW Model award.
The original 2020 coverage appeared across outlets including VladTV, iHeart, and Complex. Lil Baby’s 2022 Breakfast Club comments were reported by HotNewHipHop and others. Screenshots remain labeled as alleged because they were posted by one party and have not been independently verified.
