Lil Baby Brings His Gator Xbox Into New L.O.T.P Video

Lil Baby is turning his alligator-shaped Xbox into a party guest in his new “Life Of The Party (L.O.T.P)” video.
The Atlanta rapper released the ILMATO-directed visual on November 10.
His label said the clip follows him from party to party and includes the gaming scene that introduced fans to his unusual console last week.
The Gator Xbox has a working Series X tucked inside its belly and a controller that looks like it has already been chewed. The machine appeared during the rollout for FRESH before taking its place in the new video.
Xbox’s own announcement identifies the creation as the Series X-BITE, a fabricated alligator measuring more than five feet from snout to tail. No real alligators were used or harmed in making it.
John Nolan Studio built the creature through 3D modeling, sculpting and fabrication.
Its body has an illuminated Xbox logo, while the controller rests between its jaws and its eyes carry the gaming brand’s green color.
The video gives Lil Baby another release during the first week of FRESH, which arrived November 6. The 17-track album features Young Thug, Future and Rylo Rodriguez, with production from Metro Boomin, Pharrell Williams and London on Da Track.
He also added Chris Brown to a surprise remix of “From The Back” on November 9. ILMATO directed the earlier “Mr. Do Something” video, which took Lil Baby back through his old Atlanta neighborhood.
The album campaign has taken him beyond the videos, too.
He performed “Dead Fresh” with a live orchestra on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon and appeared at halftime during the Atlanta Hawks’ game against the Brooklyn Nets.
Lil Baby’s next hometown concert, Fresh Prince of Atlanta, is scheduled for December 5 at State Farm Arena.
