🚨 Fan Rumor: Album Incoming Next Week?
Across social platforms, fans have recently been buzzing with speculation that Lil Baby will be dropping a new project as soon as next week. The swirling theory stems from how he teased his follow-up to WHAM early in 2025—with plans for a second album titled Dominique spotted in social media snippets promising a release “in a couple weeks.” That led many to believe that Dominique might finally be on the horizon.
What We Know: Dominique Details & Timeline
- In late 2024 and early 2025, Lil Baby announced that he was working on two albums: WHAM (released January 3, 2025) and a more introspective follow-up titled Dominique, expected a month later in February.
- But February came and went without a drop. In March, he shared on social media a revised target: May 2025—“The album dropping in 8 weeks, I had to push it back”.
Fans took that latest update literally—leading to speculation in early August that Dominique might finally appear next Friday.
The Latest Twist: Dominique Shelved, The Leak$ Incoming
However, today’s reports reveal a major pivot:
- Instead of Dominique, Lil Baby has officially announced a new album, The Leak$, set for release on August 15, 2025.
- This new project is said to feature heavy-hitter collaborations with Playboi Carti, Young Thug, Lucki, Skooly, Veeze and more.
- Meanwhile, Dominique appears to be placed on indefinite hold, possibly due to ongoing legal complications related to an Atlanta police investigation stemming from a music video shoot.
Why the Change? What It Means for Dominique
- The Atlanta police probe, including serious allegations around a video shoot and a fatal incident, may have forced Dominique’s delay.
- With WHAM already in full momentum and speculation mounting, Lil Baby’s team appears to have opted for a fresh release that keeps fans engaged—The Leak$—rather than a potentially controversial personal project.
What This Means for Fans
| What Fans Thought | What’s Actually Happening |
|---|---|
| Dominique dropping next week | No — release delayed and possibly shelved |
| New album coming soon | Yes — but it’s The Leak$, arriving Aug 15 |
| Emotional, personal second album | Not yet — Dominique remains unconfirmed |
Final Take: Should You Expect Dominique in August?
Unlikely. All current indicators suggest that The Leak$ is the album fans can expect next week—not the emotional, personal project teased earlier.
But if you’ve been tracking Dominique, this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s dead. A later (maybe 2026?) rollout is still possible once off‑mic matters settle. Lil Baby seems to be recalibrating, choosing immediacy and momentum over previous timelines.
Stay tuned for next week—The Leak$ is officially on deck August 15, 2025. But Dominique? That remains an open question for now.
