Lil Baby’s feature rate appears to have increased in the last two years.
Prior to 2020, this Quality Control rapper said he was looking to pay $100,000 for a guest appearance evident steal considering he has helped songs like Future and Drake’s “Life Is Good” remix, DJ Khaled’s “You Stay,” Yo Gotti’s “Put a Date on It,” and Travis Scott’s “Highest in the Room” remix. During a May interview with Big Boy that year, Vince Staples verified Baby’s feature price, stating the Harder Than Ever MC had waived the $100,000 charge for his “East Point Prayer” verse.
At this point it’s safe to say I want 100k for a feature 😬
