Lil Baby is giving a Beverly Hills teen ultimate bragging rights … because the rapper performed at the dude’s Bar Mitzvah.
Sources tell TMZ … the rapper was hired to perform at the Bar Mitzvah held by oil and gas entrepreneur Matt Pouldar, who spent over $1 million to give his first-born son, Shane, the celebration of his dreams.
Check out the vid … Lil Baby performs surrounded by a hyped crowd, who raps almost every word alongside the A-lister.
The party, which was held at the Beverly Hills Hotel Saturday night, was a lavish affair … where sources say Lil Baby was paid a high six figures to make a personal appearance. We’re told the rapper’s attendance was a top-secret surprise for Shane and the other attendees, which included the teen’s family and friends.
Sources say CEO of DWE Talent Management David Weintraub was the go-to talent booker for this party and helped pull off the surprise … and, boy, was it a good one. Even Drake‘s dad, Dennis Graham showed up to the bash.
Lil Baby isn’t the first celebrity to accept a paycheck for a private gig, however. Remember, back in January 2021, Beyoncé took the stage at the opening of a new luxury hotel in Dubai … where all phones were banned from the event.
Then, at the start of 2024, Rihanna reportedly brought home $6 million to perform at the wedding of one of billionaire Mukesh Ambani‘s sons.
Oh, and then there’s famed tenor Andrea Bocelli … who has performed at a number of celebrity weddings, including Kourtney Kardashian‘s, Princess Eugenie‘s, and Kim Kardashian‘s, to name a few.
So, good on Lil Baby for getting his coin.
