Lil Baby Says He’s Open to a Sabrina Carpenter Collab: ‘I Could Make It Work’

Atlanta rap star Lil Baby has signaled he’s ready to revive the once-dominant rapper-pop star crossover, name-checking Sabrina Carpenter as a potential collaborator. In a recent interview, the “Drip Too Hard” hitmaker said he’s open to “stepping out of the box” and believes he “could make it work” with the “Espresso” singer. The pairing would bridge two very different fan bases: Lil Baby’s trap-heavy, street-oriented audience and Carpenter’s polished, radio-friendly pop following. At a moment when top-charting collaborations between rappers and pop stars have become rare—a sharp contrast to the early 2010s era of hits like “E.T.” and “Dark Horse”—this potential team-up could signal a shift back toward genre-blending chart ambition. Neither artist has confirmed a studio session, but the mere openness from Lil Baby is already generating buzz across social media. If it materializes, the track could dominate streaming playlists and reintroduce a formula that once produced some of the biggest songs of the decade. For now, fans are left to imagine what a Lil Baby verse over a Carpenter hook might sound like.
