Early Life

Dominique Armani Jones was born on December 3, 1994, in Atlanta, Georgia. His father abandoned him when he was two years old, and he was raised by his single mother. He was raised by two sisters and dropped out of Booker T. Washington High School in his freshman year. Lil Baby was arrested in 2012 on many offenses, including possession with intent to sell. His lawyer tried to persuade him to accept a two-year plea agreement, so Lil Baby hired a new counsel who got him into a one-year program. While participating in this program, he got into a fight with a prisoner who made racial slurs, and Lil Baby was sentenced to the original two-year sentence. He was charged with marijuana possession in 2013, then marijuana possession with intent to sell the following year. Lil Baby launched his rap career with Quality Control Music and his own label, 4PF, after serving two years in prison (4 Pockets Full).
