What happened at the Playboi Carti Lil Baby music video shoot?
Carti and Lil Baby were seen together on an outdoor video set in Atlanta. The clip that spread widest came from the X account @seanquenchh, which posted it on the evening of November 3, 2026 with the caption “Playboi Carti & Lil Baby shooting a music video in Atlanta!”

The footage moved fast once the big aggregators shared it. Complex Music reposted it and credited the original account. Kurrco’s post saying the two had been “spotted filming a new music video in Atlanta” passed 100,000 views within hours. By the morning of November 4, Playboi Carti was in X’s trending music topics.
A second clip from the same day also took off. Kurrco posted video of a fan freestyling for Carti in Atlanta, and it passed 224,000 views, making it one of the most-watched hip-hop clips on the platform that night.
Is Playboi Carti on Lil Baby’s Fresh album?
Not on the tracklist Lil Baby has shown so far. On October 16, 2026, he posted a whiteboard to Instagram with all 17 song titles, and Complex reported the announced features. Carti’s name was not among them.
The guests named so far are Future and Young Thug on “All My Patnas,” Rylo Rodriguez on “All My Patnas” and “In Your Head,” and Bally Baby and Fatt Smaxk on “Coast 2 Coast.” The album also includes the Pharrell Williams-produced single “Dead Fresh,” which peaked at No. 18 on the Billboard Hot 100 and reached No. 1 at Urban and Rhythmic radio.
That leaves several possibilities: an unannounced feature on Fresh, a cameo in a video for a song already on the list, a deluxe track, or a separate single. Carti fan accounts on X are split between “cameo” and “feature.” Until one of the artists or Quality Control says something, it is all speculation.

Have Playboi Carti and Lil Baby worked together before?
Yes. Their most recent collaboration is “Let’s Do It,” with fellow Atlanta rapper Skooly. It came out on December 3, 2025 on Lil Baby’s mixtape The Leaks, with a music video released the same day. Fans had heard pieces of the song for months before it arrived.
Carti has also been busy in the same circle. Three days before the shoot, on October 31, 2026, he joined Ye on stage at Reliant Stadium for “CARNIVAL” and “Off the Grid,” as covered in our Ye Houston concert recap. That followed his headlining set at ComplexCon 2026, where Ye joined him.
Carti and Lil Baby have stayed in touch since “Let’s Do It.” On October 26, 2026, a clip spread of Lil Baby on FaceTime with Carti from Tokyo, hours after his set at FORCE Festival 2026 in Kawasaki, Japan. HypeFresh reported that the video went viral after Kurrco shared it.
The timing also fits each artist’s schedule. Carti’s third album, Music, came out on March 14, 2025. He headlined the Antagonist Tour from October to December 2025 and opened for The Weeknd on the After Hours til Dawn Tour through September 2026. Fresh follows Lil Baby’s fourth studio album, WHAM, from early 2025, and The Leaks.
When will the new Playboi Carti and Lil Baby video come out?
No release date has been announced. The date to watch is November 6, 2026, when Fresh arrives on streaming platforms, including the album’s Spotify pre-save page. Whether the video is tied to the album has not been confirmed.
Until then, the official Instagram and X accounts of Lil Baby and Playboi Carti are the places to watch for a teaser or a credit. TSNVWRLD will update this story when the song and the video are confirmed.
