South Carolina’s Lil Man J has been going viral for sounding eerily similar to Lil Baby.

Over the past few days, a rapper from South Carolina who goes by Lil Man J has turned into a viral sensation, largely due to the comparisons to Lil Baby he’s received. Lil Man J has acknowledged the comparisons in the past but he doubled down on his new single, “Cap Freestyle” that he released on YouTube. On the record, he raps, “Trying to be black, I’m as white as can be/ I’m the white Lil Baby, no one harder than me.”
Fans quickly began to react to the claim online but it appears that the clip finally caught the attention of Lil Baby. As spotted by HipHopDx, a clip of the song was posted on OurGenerationMusic’s Instagram page, and Baby quickly slid into the comment sections in disbelief. “Is this a joke or he serious?” Baby wrote.
