Early Life

Lil Baby was born Dominique Armani Jones on December 3, 1994, in Atlanta, Georgia. His father left when Lil Baby was 2 years old, and he was raised by his single mother. He grew up with two sisters and dropped out of Booker T. Washington High School during his freshman year. In 2012, Lil Baby was arrested on several charges, including possession with intent to sell. His lawyer tried to convince him to take a two-year plea deal, so Lil Baby hired a new lawyer who got him into a program that would just hold him for a year. While taking part in this program, he got in a fight with a prisoner who made racial remarks, and Lil Baby then had to serve the original two-year deal. In 2013, he was charged with marijuana possession, and the following year, he was charged with possession of marijuana with intent to sell. Lil Baby began his rap career after two years of incarceration, with Quality Control Music and his own label, 4PF (4 Pockets Full).
