Young Nudy spotted a baby at his recent show and was seen waving at the infant during a wholesome moment on his North American Tour.
Video shows Nudy waving at the infant in the crowd before diving into his next song, as the “Child’s Play” rapper says in a baby voice “ayyy look at the baby!”
Young Nudy’s North American tour wrapped in Atlanta on April 20, and the rapper experienced one tense moment along the way involving a fan trying to snatch his chain mid-show.
The incident transpired on April 13 in Nashville, with video showing Nudy getting up close and personal with the crowd while he raps. Things change when one fan starts to get a little handsy and grips the Atlanta rapper’s chain. Nudy is seen staring down the fan before landing a slap on them, at which point security steps in and breaks up the incident.
The tour comes after Nudy recently returned with his new album Gumbo, which Drake gave a massive co-sign upon its release.
The 13-track, food-inspired tape features two appearances from 21 Savage and Key Glock, as well as production from frequent collaborator Pi’erre Bourne, COUPE, Naestro and others.
Gumbo serves as the follow-up to Nudy’s EA Monster LP, which dropped in August 2022 and earned a 3.8 out of 5 review score from HipHopDX.
Drake made it known he was tuning into Nudy’s latest tape by sharing a screenshot of him listening to the album on Spotify, captioning the photo with three speaker emojis.
The album arrived after Young Nudy suffered a massive song breach in December, and personally vowed to hunt down those responsible for leaking 172 songs of his without his consent.
“I’ma say this shit one time, bro. I don’t know if y’all know, I’m not like other rappers, bro,” he said in a video posted to social media. “I’m 100 percent finna take my time out to find out 100 percent who exactly is leaking my music.”
He continued: “And I’m 100 percent gonna pull up at whatever studio it is and I’m 100 percent gon’ beat your ass, on my mama.”
The Atlanta rapper believed the culprit could be someone involved with a recording studio. Chance The Rapper’s brother, Taylor Bennett, offered up a similar theory after he suffered a leak of his own.
In other Nudy news, the 30-year-old recently made a guest appearance on Metro Boomin’s Heroes & Villains LP, reconnecting with his cousin 21 Savage on the track “Umbrella.”
On AHHCade, PNAU are leaning fully into emotion for their upcoming seventh studio album.
“There’s something deeply connected about music and the path we’ve been on,” PNAU’s Nick Littlemore shares while introducing the new project, which is scheduled to arrive July 31 through Sydney independent label etcetc, under the TMRW Music umbrella.
“We’re creating songs from the heart,” he says. “Even though these tracks are built with electronics and technology, at their core they are emotional expressions. Peter, myself and everyone we worked with wanted to create a feeling of home, whether that’s on the dancefloor or inside the listener’s mind.”
The upcoming record includes the recently unveiled “Tu Corazon (Your Heart)” featuring Mexican rock band The Warning, as well as the energetic new track “Nirvana” with EARTHGANG and sadMONTH, which officially dropped today, May 8.
“Nirvana” pairs PNAU with Atlanta duo EARTHGANG and also marks the first collaboration with sadMONTH, the new creative venture from Littlemore alongside Toronto artist Dom Dias.
Littlemore describes the song as “the beginning of an entirely new chapter. It’s intense, chaotic and taps into a future version of punk electronic music. Expect something restless, rhythmic and completely untamed.”
EARTHGANG added: “With ‘Nirvana,’ we locked into this euphoric and elevated energy together with PNAU and rode that electro wave. Huge love to everyone involved in bringing this track to life and making it hit the way it does.”
Representatives for the group have also hinted that additional unexpected collaborations will be revealed in the near future.
PNAU, made up of longtime friends Littlemore and Peter Mayes, are following up their 2024 release Sambanova. Over the years, the duo have built a career filled with major records and industry recognition. Their global breakthrough came after teaming up with Elton John for the 2012 remix album Good Morning to the Night, which reached No. 1 on the Official U.K. Albums Chart. They later reunited with Elton for the 2021 remix Cold Heart featuring Dua Lipa, creating one of the biggest worldwide hits of the decade.
To celebrate the release of the new album, PNAU will launch the Australian run of their Nirvana Tour 2026 next month. The East Coast regional dates begin June 19 at Gilligan's in Cairns before finishing July 4 at Woodport Hotel in Erina.
