Sets up that Baby No Money is facing widespread backlash and questions about his behavior and messaging.

Asmongold TV’s take on Baby No Money: a scathing, multi-faceted critique of performative persona, alleged theft of cosplay, and racist incidents, with a cautious eye on audience dynamics and cancel culture.

Summary

Asmongold and team dissect the whirlwind around Baby No Money, arguing that the musician’s rise rides on a highly performative persona designed to maximize engagement. They point to allegations of content copying without credit and troubling past transgressions, including racist remarks and questionable cosplay behavior, that resurfaced from 2019. The discussion blends outrage with skepticism about how much of the backlash is genuine versus amplified by online clout-chasers and a culture of drama. Throughout, the host emphasizes the blurred line between authentic expression and deliberate pandering, suggesting that some fans crave controversy as much as music. They also critique the broader ecosystem: AI art debates, influencer collaborations, and the way “standing up” for views can feel performative in its own right. The segment concludes with a nuanced view that, regardless of Baby No Money’s talent, the ongoing controversy highlights how quickly reputation can shift in the social media era. Asmongold notes that cancel culture is messy, and that audiences often reward attention more than accountability. The overall takeaway is a warning about audience capture and the cost of maintaining authenticity online.

Key Takeaways

  • Baby No Money’s offense is framed as a mix of content copying without credit and problematic past remarks, which resurfaced after his viral cosplay.
  • The discussion cites a 2019 n-word usage context and a cosplay incident that led to intensified scrutiny on platforms like TikTok and Reddit.

Basically, everybody's mad at this guy now. Baby, no money. I don't even really know why. Massive day for the unemployed. Give me a minute. Somebody says, "Wait, massive day for the unemployed." That's me. I work every day so I never have to get a job. Massive day for the unemployed. The internet is turning on baby no money. He's being called out for content copying without credit, apparently ruining cosplays, and being racist. I'M A BLOW. ALEX IS a never mind. Don't know who Baby No Money is. Well, first of all, good for you. Secondly, he's the most performative musician on the planet. Pretty much doing and saying anything that'll get his music listeners. Self-proclaimed Gen Z Eminem. Apparently, Gen Z genuinely thinks he's attractive. Bro, somebody kick him out of the city. Jesus, what the hell even is this? Damn, bro. Everybody hates him. Oh my god. Guys, what the [ __ ] Guys, what the [ __ ] Take him TO DETROIT. NO. Talk about birds of the same feather. I mean, baby over here was pandering so hard to the leftist crowd and they caught trans rights or human rights. Trans visibility day. Oh, this is another He said the same thing again. So, wait. Okay, so let me get this straight. So, you said the same thing twice and the first time you said it, you got a bunch of likes and then this time you said it, it was on like, you know, it's like polymorph, right? Like the first polymorph lasts for 10 seconds, the second one only lasts for five. The first trans rights only get gets 234,000. The second one only gets 111, right? I mean, at this point, you know, by [ __ ] November or so, I don't even think it's going to be worth tweeting about trans rights. It was on DR, bro. [ __ ] was on DR. Damn, I'm saying the N word. It's a GG, Buster. A word I would never say, by the way. I never I've never said the N word in my life. All right, baby. Nobody being a racist. What's new? As a white guy living in the suburbs, I could let this slide. But wait, I don't think anybody really cares about somebody using the n-word in a rap. I'm going just be honest. Like, nobody actually gives a [ __ ] about that. Like people might pretend to get mad about it, but like there's nobody that actually like really gets offended over this. There's more. Released under his Soundcloud in 2019 to check out this thread for why Baby No Money should not be supported. Maybe he just cosplayed a black guy and even then I think that cosplay would get much. You got to understand like I don't even think that's bad. I mean like he played Wow. Like Baby No Money played Wow. And he played Diablo 2. Like of course he said the N word. Like I mean damn. Like what's wrong with that [ __ ] I mean like you you basically like that that might as well just be your password to log in to classic hate. Whoa. Is that blackface dude? Anyway, let's check out this thread for why Baby No Money shouldn't be supported. First off, he would have been a grown ass man who should have known the implication of saying the nword by 2019. That's if you say the n-word three times, it's like Beetlejuice. It brings back slavery. You can't do that. And he said it four times. I guess that's why we bomb some place in Africa, right? Of course. Still, time isn't an apology. We still doing this in Big 26. I tell you all, no black person cares about the nword unless they're a nerd who wears glasses. Now, it seemed like a lot of the I think that I do I do think that black people like definitely like it probably does feel weird to have white people saying that because there are people that say it in a way that is derogatory, right? It's like a it's it's weird. Like they do, but it's I I think it's obvious whenever somebody said it's the intent, right? It's obviously the intent. Like you've got some like for example like if you have some, you know, like a 90 pound I can I say wigger? I think I can say wigger. I mean I can say bigger, right? So like I think I can say wigger. Uh if you have some 90 lb wigger in like a [ __ ] 4XL t-shirt and he's sitting there with his hat on sideways, uh it's cultural appropriation. Yeah, I don't know that did. And so anyway, I guess we'll find out in a couple of days. So, uh, my point is that, um, you know, like nobody gets offended over that, right? But like whenever you have somebody that's saying it and they're trying to be racist about it, it's like any other racial term, right? It's like calling somebody a monkey. It's different if you're calling a white person versus a black person a monkey. It's just different. Culturally, it's different. And, uh, I think it's obvious whenever somebody's trying to be racist, and it's obvious whenever they're trying to just talk. And I think that there's so much dishonesty that happens in environments where people pretend like one person is trying to do one but the other on rumble. Yeah. No, I mean like really the thing is that here here's the problem. A lot of people don't talk about this [ __ ] the way that I do. I just say it. I do. I just say it. And I think that honestly it would be we would be in such a better place if more people talked like I did about it because like you can never actually talk about the intricacies of like these racial politics at all because the moment that you do everybody's got their guard up because they're performing. Everybody now is performing. They're trying to act like, "Oh, I can't talk like this. I can't say this. Like I want people to know that I'm not like this." No, bro. Like I just I I say it the way I think it is. That's it. I say it the way it is. Anybody thinks I'm racist, out of their [ __ ] mind. So if they think that they crazy, [ __ ] them. Who cares? What you're saying is very true. People going to take this out of context, turn into something to name a good look forward to it. It's a new YouTube video for me tomorrow. Go ahead. Go ahead. Do it all you want. Black guys are like a little softer, like a little bit like I saw a black guy with glasses the other day. My favorite streamer without invasion is gold, baby. It's like that MIGO song. He'd do anything for clout. These weren't even public songs. These were private songs off his Soundcloud, which Baby No Money deleted, and the unemployed people on Reddit ended up finding them. Wait, wait, wait. Baby No Money was 24 years old. No one was being outwardly racist as a trend in 2019. I was I was about to say I was about to say, so don't use it as an excuse to say a black my culture is not your costume. Said he was racist to her in high school, so there's a pattern. Yeah, this dude's irredeemable. A black woman was speaking and he wasn't listening or learning. Let's slide over the nword and look at something serious. Stealing a cosplay and not crediting. Yes, he finally credited me on Instagram after 13 hours after my call out reel went viral. But call out reel. Oh my god. Why does anybody try to court this type of a community? What what's so crazy to me is that why can't you be Why can't you just be based instead? just be based and funny. Why do you need to put on this performative personality nobody really gives a [ __ ] about nobody wants to have anything to do with? Like it's just weird, man. It is like just be yourself. Like like these weirdos, here's the thing. These weirdos will act like they like you and then they'll turn on you. You know why? Read their [ __ ] profiles. They got a bunch of bunch of mental disorders. They're crazy. They're weird. is not crediting me on Tik Tok where his copycat Tik Tok went way more viral than my original Tik Tok post. Folded like a mechbook and apologized for not crediting. So he finally gave credit just now after people started calling him out on Tik Tok. But holy, he didn't think to credit me on the viral platform first. They will never be happy with what you do because at the end of the day, people love to bring you up and there's only one thing they like more than that and that's when they love to take you down. That is the way it is every single [ __ ] time. Never appease these losers, bro. This is it. Just the platform I called him out on. He is so performative. Yeah. What gave it away? Pretty shameless, you know? The same caption, the same stage. Jesus. Except for some reason he's wearing a thong. The only reason he even gave her credit is because of, you know, the backlash. Speaking of backlash, him and his group of friends of like four other guys, I'd say. Yeah. Um, and him would walk past me and my friends sometimes, and say, "Yo, what up? What up? We out here in the ghetto, my out here in the ghetto." Like every time. She's saying that he would walk by black people and say we're in the ghetto with Dude, I just there's Bro, I believe it. I mean, I don't know. I ask a lot. I would walk past him. It would mostly be him. It would mostly be him. Those like things and then his like friend snickering. You know what? I'd actually believe it. Makes sense why he cropped Asmin Gold out of his music video. I haven't seen Asmin Gold rip the Edward exploiting social and like I never would say that. I've never said the N word in my life. I've never said it. gullible trans people to promote your music is the most kind of scummy thing you can do. It's sort of in line with like those corporations putting the Pride Month as their logo and then never doing it, showing they never actually cared. His intent is getting money in listeners. It's very obvious. Lying out, but if you see somebody who did this thing to you on your TV, baby no money went to my high school and would call me the n-word as I would walk by. This has got to be [ __ ] right? Like the thing is that I'm going to be real. If this turns out to be true and this is just the most elaborate grift of all time and he actually just used to be a based World of Warcraft Andy and there's a reason he used to watch my streams and he just switched up and now people are finding out. I'm going to be honest like I think that's kind of funny. I don't think it's necessarily true, but it's a funny accusation. Randomly, one day you're like, "What?" Now, there's a big difference between just ripping the nword with your boys and saying it to a black person. That is insane. Some of my best. All right. There's no way he's going to friends are trans. We could tell. I'm going to be sick. Like, wait, wait, wait. He said we can tell. Oh, what what did he show? You remember whenever Remember whenever he was trying? Look at this, bro. Like, remember whenever he did this? This was just sad, bro. Like, pull this up real quick, y'all. Have y'all seen this? This is just like, bro, look at look, bro. Like, look at this. Look real quick. Look at that, bro. Look at that. Look at that, bro. Like, he really he was honestly he was really trying. He was really trying to he was holding on to just the little bit. It's like remember whenever Tim the Tatman had that [ __ ] mohawk and the mohawk kept going like this. I remember whenever he joined us our guild and like classic, right? Like it was like this. And then by the time BWL came out, it was like this. And then I think that AQ he was [ __ ] full ass, bro. He was full ass bald. He was. This shit's going to happen to me, too. It will. I'm going to be sick. Like, people were straight up bullying him for this. Baby No Money has been catching heat on the timeline after his viral Leon Kennedy cosplay. This is what Leon would look like if he were on F. Baby No Money bubble popped. Everybody hating him. I'm free. where he said if he get God bro like again this is there are so many like the internet is all about now it's all about hating people [ __ ] on them finding flaws in them that's why I think the only creators that are truly transcendent are the ones that everybody knows are pieces of [ __ ] that's why for for the years that have gone on you have people like again me Hassan Everybody knows Hassan's an [ __ ] and he just keeps getting more popular. Everybody knows I'm an [ __ ] I just keep getting more popular. Everybody knows I don't know like let me think who who else really could you get? Uh Kanye West is an [ __ ] Keeps getting more popular for sure. That's it. It's 1 million likes. He will quit music and he ended up receiving four times what he asked for. Then he made a sad post saying he was leaving and then a month later came back saying it was all a troll. I love how he got 4.2 two million likes for him to quit. One of which being people think he only follows the current thing at the time or has the safest takes imaginable. An example of this being I think that there are a lot of people out there that do this and I don't think it's unique to I I do think that he like I like Baby No Money even though he said negative things about me. Like I don't really care about that. Like honestly like I I don't really I don't take anything personally. I don't care. Like I always liked his music. He's fine. Like I talked to him before. He's a nice guy. So, like I don't have anything like really bad to say, but at the same time, I think that he definitely falls into that category of like I'm going to find the thing to say that is going to resonate with this group of safe space people that is going to make them happy, right? And I think that he does that and he's done that so much he's dearred it to where like the polymorph ain't even hitting anymore, right? It doesn't even turn him into a sheep, bro. Like it makes him realize that you're the sheep. And I think that's what happened is that like you've done this so many times that at this point people don't trust that you're authentic. That's really that that's what I think has happened. There's a huge segment of people who are in that safe edgy segment. Yeah. And like that's the thing is like there's a lot of people that they never they wait like whenever a big event happens they will wait to see what the consensus is before they talk about it or they make any statements on it for me like I react to that [ __ ] live and there are some good and some bad things about that there are. But uh I wouldn't have it any other way but a lot of people are afraid to have an opinion that goes against the consensus. I don't want to, you know, like give names, but I do think Baby No Money has fallen into that trap. Maybe he's become audience captured. Maybe he likes that. I don't know. But, uh, you know, it's definitely a I I think that definitely he's doing that for sure. His opinion on AI. As if you didn't know, he is heavily against AI art and he thinks you should always support and commission real artist. This dude has talked about AI art so much. The fact that people can't see through this performative nature is To all the AI, it's a form of advertising. That's the reason why he says that there. I mean, you got to keep that in mind, too, is that like he's trying to build his brand and make people like him. And so, like, he says the thing that's popular so he can have people like him. Like, it's that simple. Artists in my DMs complaining about the post that I made yesterday. Go [ __ ] yourself. Whoa, you're so brave, dude. Oh my god. Not this dude. Bro, you can't be making this up. Oh, this is dead ass a leech. He on whatever is the most popular like flies on horse. I think Baby No Money Hate is way too forced. I get that his music isn't the most complex, but I would much rather support an artist with good morals, but makes bad music than an artist who makes good music but has bad morals. What a I totally disagree. I completely disagree. I could not disagree more. Also, by the way, here's a really important thing. They won't actually support you. I'm going to give y'all an example. You know what the example is going to be? Everybody knows what it's going to be. We all know what it's going to be. So, there's a video game that came out kind of recently and it got 250,000 wish lists. And uh the video game basically was such a massive colossal failure the developers had to put an update out talking about you know the fact that you know that that they just I guess I don't even know what the [ __ ] the update was about. Like they just made the update and so people still listen to R. Kelly. Like I think that really whenever I knew that cancel culture really didn't matter is whenever I heard Chris Brown on the radio again. like after he basically like Chris Brown went [ __ ] like just crazy on Rihanna. Beat the [ __ ] out of Rihanna and he's back on the radio. I mean that's that's it. Like to me like it's over. Cancel culture is over, right? And uh Beats by Chris. Okay. All right. Let me just All right. That's not what I was trying to say. But my my point is that people don't really care about morality in media. They act like they care about it, but they don't act on it. That's the big difference. They act like they care, but they don't act on it. And you'll see that with many, many games. Stupid ass take. I would support Kanye 10 out of 10 times before Baby No Money. And I guess Kanye's music's pretty good, too. Some of the more na Yeah, I think Never mind. Eve trans people will fight tooth and nail not seeing the fact that he's using them to build a cult-like following. I get it. You feel underrepresented in society and you're willing to look past his obvious pandering just because he gives you representation. But I don't know why trans people are so easily patronized. I I don't understand why because I I guess maybe it's like you have a lot of people that don't like you, but it seems like anybody that does even anything that's even slightly performative in the in the direction of like trans that like they act like they're ride or die for you and they're they're like totally on your side. Like you've got to keep in mind that whenever somebody that has a vested financial interest like says something positive about you, is that an opinion or is that marketing? Number one. Number two is being trans your entire [ __ ] identity. Holy [ __ ] Like that's not the whole It's not the only thing about you, right? Like damn. They're desperate for validation maybe, but it's just embarrassing. It is. It's embarrassing. Genuine. This is what you got to ask yourself. I'm just saying if Adolf was popular, it'd probably put him on his chest, too, just to increase the streaming numbers. Maybe no money bubble popped every I mean that Gypsy Crusader fight was close to it. And I I I keep seeing I keep getting [ __ ] reels on my Instagram like every other day. Every probably every third reel I is Paul. Every third reel. Let me see. Let me see if I can do one. All right. I'm gonna turn on the sound. It's literally the first one. It was on my explore page. The f literally first one. Hey, you mind if I play that Saturday? When you show your Check this out. This is the Let's see. I find another one. Excuse me. The gypsy crusader is a white supremacist. There's two right there. That fast. That's it. Hating him. I'm free. New phone. Yeah, that one took a while. It took like five more. You know, this guy nailed it. Nobody has ever wanted to be famous as badly as this guy does. Oh, and he also pissed off some K-pop stands because Jungkook from BTS danced to Baby Money's song and he apparently used it as an ad and people were pissed. I mean, hate the game. Wait, why? Wait, why? Like, I I don't understand. It's disrespectful Junk Cooper is okay, but using it as an ad without his consent is something else. Wait, what? Like, wait, what? Like, I I mean, hate the game, not the player. With the copious amount of posts he'll make on social media when he does have a new song to the amount of people he will commission to make animated videos with his music to him seemingly collaborating with every influencer that has or has recently gained a large following. And with him and his music being all over platforms like Tik Tok and YouTube, some people feel as though he's being forced down their throats and are experiencing socalled Baby No Money fatigue. And again, I can separate the art from the artist. And some of Baby No Money's songs are actually pretty decent. One, two, right? Yeah, I sync this song. The AI Diddy versus Epstein. THAT SHOW WAS GOOD, BRO. I REMEMBER I WATCHED THAT WHOLE THING. I was so good. What are you going to do about it? Just I I've been just bullied online and I just don't if I can't be I'm obviously like a small little pillar online of positivity, but I I feel like there's so many more of my fans that are I I get messages every day from my fans like my dieards being like I can't keep up with the negativity. Alert online of positivity. You Yeah. By practically, you mean not really. Yeah, you might fool a 16-year-old with body dysmorphia, but you can't fool me. Jesus Christ, buster. When a musician starts to get political, you know that their career is sort of on a decline because they're trying to get viewers by any means necessary. Like, look at you going to talk about Nicki Mina. Little pump and Trump. Try to tell me that dude is still relevant. You can't. Little pimp's name wrong. I forgot all about that. God damn, that was a while ago. No, money has come under fire from multiple artists online after many have come forward and stated that he is performative in regards to AI art and being pro-real artists, accusing him of offering promotion and retweets for artist commissions and then lying and not following through. Also lowballing them in terms of payment for their work and just generally haggling. What what is this a low ball for? Let me see what it says. Let's see what the offer is. Uh it says about $1,000. I mean, I don't know. It doesn't even say what the offer what they ask him to do and just generally haggling and acting unprofessional. The performative guy in front of the camera is a [ __ ] behind the scenes. Crazy. Maybe way. Let me tell y'all something about streamers. Many such cases. Oh my god. They are so like the thing is that is he broke? No, it is. There are so many people that are like this. Like it's embarrassing to Twitter to post that he saw all the hate that he's getting online, but he simply doesn't give a he doesn't care. You guys are seeing the irony too, right? He's saying he doesn't give a while tweeting about it. He's straight up. I don't think that's really a big deal. Like the thing is like to me like sometimes I will make comments like this too, but it's like you just keep going. Like who gives a [ __ ] Somebody gets mad at you. And the thing is that this is the big weakness is that whenever you put yourself in a situation where you have to be the kind of person that other people want you to be, you your reward structure is only approval. It removes basically cuz like whenever you make something for yourself and you find other people that enjoy what you make, you get that internal fulfillment that keeps you going like infinitely longer than if you're just playing off of the crowd or you're playing off of the numbers. So whenever you put yourself in a position where you have everybody, you know, that's giving you feedback, telling you you're a good boy, etc., uh and then they stop doing that. Like the falloff from that is way harder than the falloff from, let's say, somebody who decides they're going to do what they're passionate about. And I think that if you're passionate about getting attention from people, then this type of stuff becomes very, very damaging to your mental health. Contradicting himself. He's just misunderstood, guys. He's a pillar online of positivity. Times up, bust, your immovable object has met that unstoppable force. Now, another reason people hate Baby No Money is with the claim he is mformative, or as some call him, baby no backbone. First, we had Jelly Wig, now we have this. That's crass. Israel's strongest soldier. Baby no money. Can't even make this up. I don't know how anything he does is related to Israel, but Oh, it's simple. Is it bad? Oh, it is Israel. Stray, I guess. Finally, from the horse's mouth himself. Finally, some peace and quiet. muted words. Baby no money. Baby no money forever. I feel zero pity for this man because you know he is a product of his own design. You built this community of losers who care about you rapping the n-word in a song 10 years ago and you That's right. You did. No, he's right. Like honestly like this video like that's the that's honestly the best way to say it. You built the community. Like yeah you you want to drag these people in. You want to make a community out of people like this. That's what you're going to get. You can do and say all the things on paper, but the second you're even a little out of line, these people are going to come for your neck and no amount of collaborations will ever get these people back on your side. Small little pillar online of positivity. Fortunately, we ran out of time for this video. Okay. All right. That's a good video. Honestly, like I always like the guy, but um again, I think that he definitely does try to treat uh like he he's very um like kind of I'll link you guys video. I I haven't watched a lot of WestJet videos. I've seen maybe a couple of them other than that. But, uh, I think he's entertaining and he's funny.
