"Da baby is this generation Ludacris," wrote Duval.

Luda addressed the comparison during a recent interview on The Breakfast Club and said he understands Duval's point.

"I saw people give him a lot of slack for that and I was like, ‘That’s crazy,' because I understand where Lil Duval was coming from,” said Ludacris, who had his Mercedes-Benz stolen earlier this year. “In terms of everything we’re talking about, having fun with your visuals, being playful, being slick with the lyrics, and having subliminals."

"I can understand where he came from with that, but I think people were trying to compare my two decades in the game to however long DaBaby’s been in there, for like two or three years," he added. "I think he’s a great artist, and I’ve said that before, and I love the fact he said he was inspired by my videos.”
