Lil Duval started a Twitter debate on Thursday morning (June 24) after he claimed that DaBaby is this generation’s Ludacris. The comedian made the comparison between the two rappers’ music videos and showed how Luda’s creativity has inspired a new league of rappers, perhaps in particular the Charlotte, North Carolina native.

Da baby is this generation Ludacris

To back up his claim, Duval tweeted:

For example, Duval shared a picture from Luda’s iconic ripped look in his 2004 “Get Back” video. “So this ain’t something DaBaby would do?” he tweeted. Duval proved his point by posting a picture from DaBaby’s “Suge” video, where he also donned huge fake arms.
I can’t believe some of y’all think da baby can’t rap. Nigga be snapping to me and he street. Fuck else y’all want? ?????

In another Tweet, Lil Duval said Lil Baby is this generation’s Jeezy. Duval said,
“Lil baby is this generation, Jeezy.”

whatevr da baby is doing now has NOTHING on what ludacris did. ludacris is one of the FEW artists that came out in the early ‘00s making exciting videos.
gave us classic albums!!! word of mouf, red light district, chicken & beer. ???— hi x3 (@fl0riography) June 24, 2021
I was a rapper in the early 2000s & I approached Ludacris with my tape. He threw on the floor & said it was trash without even listening to it. For that reason I have to say that DaBaby is better. I feel like DaBaby has more respect for his fans. Especially his black female fans.

This shows how under-appreciated Luda is. Like ppl really forgot good an individual was at their craft because they haven't heard or seen nothing new since they moved to better things in life. Luda is one of the south most lyrical dudes ever. Not knockin Da Baby but he's no Luda https://t.co/ODaO9VPn3K

i see the Dababy comparison to Luda but i think he's more like Nelly not comparing career achievements just saying personality when rapping. pic.twitter.com/w8ZIsmGqSz
