While he’s no longer gambling, Lil Baby’s partnership with Rubin continues to flourish. The duo has collaborated on several business ventures, including Mitchell & Ness and Fanatics, and both are active supporters of the REFORM Alliance, an initiative aimed at criminal justice reform. Their bond has also made them the subject of social media memes, particularly photos from Rubin’s star-studded Fourth of July “white parties.”
