Atlanta rapper Lil Baby had social media buzzing after a now-viral video showed him playfully—but boldly—snatching YouTuber Jack Doherty’s expensive chain in a nightclub. What started as lighthearted mischief quickly turned into an uncomfortable moment that’s since drawn mixed reactions online.
The Viral Moment: Lil Baby Gets Sneaky
In footage shared by No Jumper, Lil Baby is seen posted up in the club with Jack Doherty. While appearing to engage in casual conversation, Baby suddenly leans in, distracts Jack, and smoothly slides the pricey chain right off his neck—without security stepping in.
Jack’s reaction? Pure shock.
The streamer looks confused for a split second, then realizes what happened as he sees his own chain swinging in Lil Baby’s hand before it disappears into his pocket.
To top it off, Lil Baby capped the moment with a playful noogie, adding an extra dose of humiliation. While some laughed, others weren’t so amused.
Outside the Club: Jack Begs for His Chain Back
Things escalated outside when a visibly upset Jack confronted the rapper.
“Bro, I need my chain, bro,” Jack pleaded, as Lil Baby laughed and kept the trolling going.
“No, I need that chain, dog,” he repeated.
Lil Baby’s response? Cold and dismissive.
“Call the police,” he said bluntly before hopping into his G-Wagon—chain still in hand—and peeling off into the night.
Social Media Reacts: “That Wasn’t a Joke”
As the clips made the rounds online, reactions were split. Some fans saw it as just Lil Baby being playful, calling it harmless fun between acquaintances. Others, however, said the prank crossed the line.
Twitter/X users chimed in with takes like:
- “Lil Baby did that way too smooth… man’s done this before 😂”
- “Jack got zero security and maximum clout chasing energy.”
- “Imagine paying $200k for a performance and getting your chain snatched in return.”
- “That wasn’t a prank, that was a power move.”
The $200K Controversy: Bought Friendship?
The incident also reignited criticism about Jack Doherty’s relationship with rappers like Lil Baby, with many claiming he’s trying to buy his way into hip-hop culture.
Fans pointed to reports that Jack allegedly paid $200,000 to have Lil Baby perform a short set at his 21st birthday party—a move many now view as clout-chasing.
The backlash was swift:
- “Jack, you paid for vibes and got violated.”
- “You don’t buy friends, bro.”
- “Stop trying to force your way into rap circles.”
Some online even began mocking Jack with nicknames and memes, questioning whether he’s being used by celebs for quick cash and viral clout.
Was It a Joke, or Did It Cross the Line?
While Lil Baby clearly seemed amused, the tone shift outside the club suggested that Jack wasn’t in on the joke anymore. Whether or not the chain was ever returned remains unclear, and neither party has released an official statement yet.
But one thing is clear: the internet is watching, and not everyone is laughing.
Final Thoughts
This incident is a stark reminder of the blurry line between playful trolling and public humiliation—especially when cameras are rolling and reputations are on the line.
For Jack Doherty, this might be a turning point in how he navigates celebrity culture and online influence. For Lil Baby, it’s just another viral moment—but one that could come with backlash if fans feel the joke went too far.
