Lil Baby has set a high price for a potential boxing match against DJ Akademiks. The rapper reportedly wants $40 million to step into the ring with the internet personality, according to Adin Ross. This demand appears to have stalled any immediate plans for the fight to happen. Ross shared the details about Lil Baby’s condition during a recent stream, as reported by HotNewHipHop.

The Proposed Match Details

The online drama between Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks heated up after Lil Baby’s assistant, K-Rich, allegedly slapped Akademiks. DJ Akademiks fired back during a livestream, questioning Lil Baby’s courage and calling him out directly. He stated, “You ducked and then had your py a assistant… I’ll squabble with you any time.” Akademiks insisted the alleged slap never happened and challenged Lil Baby to show up. He continued, “I’ve been on that. You DM me, ‘Where you at?’ I DM you where I’m gonna be at. You never showed up.”

Lil Baby’s Stated Condition

Adin Ross later claimed that Lil Baby was open to boxing DJ Akademiks, but with a significant financial stipulation. Ross said Lil Baby is “down to box Akademiks for the right bag.” He elaborated that the rapper said, “I’ll do it for the right money.” Ross then looked for someone to help make the match a reality.

Why the Fight May Not Happen

However, recent updates suggest the boxing match is unlikely to proceed. Adin Ross stated that Lil Baby demanded between $30 million and $40 million for the fight. He explained that he could not meet such a high financial requirement at this time. “When you’re Lil Baby and you’re a rapper and you have cred, you can’t blow that.” Ross explained. He believes Lil Baby might not want to be involved in online disputes. Ross added, “I just think Lil Baby doesn’t want to be on this internet sht, he doesn’t want to fck with it.”
