On September 7, a man was wounded and taken to hospital after a shooting at a Lil Baby show in Memphis. A month later, the Memphis Police Department confirmed that a man had been arrested in connection with the incident.

In 2022, the Atlanta rapper released his third studio album, āItās Only Meā. In a three-star review, NME wrote: āIf the trimmings were removed from āItās Only Meā, it might rival his previous releases ā instead itās a few notches shy of greatness.ā
