Clash of the Titans: Lil Bibby’s Gym Jewelry Stirs Up Playful Mayhem Among Rappers
The iron temple is no longer just a place for pumping iron, it’s also where you end up flexing your most over-the-top fashion choices if rapper Lil Bibby is to be believed. In a social media stunt that captured headlines (or should we say neck withe) across the hip-hop world, Bibby posted a picture from his Los Angeles gym that led to a humorous conversation about what’s appropriate at the wheel room.
Then there was Bibby, who redefined the term “blinged-out” with a selfie on May 22 from one of his closets. (Yes, that’s plural.) Accompanied by standard workout attire, not only was Bibby prepared to pump iron; he almost looked like he was getting ready for a night out on the town. He had a huge metallic chain and one of those blinding watches strapped to his body, giving off just enough flash while also maintaining perfect impracticality.

As the internet is wont to do, it promptly exploded. The post was swarmed by fans and celebrities commenting on the viral playground. The first two to hit the comments were 21 Savage and G Herbo, who issued a couple of playful shots at Bibby’s questionable gym attire.
21 Savage and his deadpan humor took a light-hearted jab at the impracticality of the full ensemble. His reply, a funny tribute to his signature Cuban Chain down there, said: “Im never taking mine off. lol” Ever.” G-Herbo jumped on the bandwagon, comically adding his little jabs at Bibby as well. “Why are you going all five chains to the gym, bro? he quipped.
Underneath all the playful teasing, though, there was definitely an underlying undercurrent of camaraderie. This kind of playful ribbing is all part and parcel with the landscape of rapper-to-rapper social media interactions. It’s a virtual way of kicking back with your buddies and talking shit, while having a good ol’ laugh.
Bibby kept the jokes going when creating the caption. “Like in ’05 coming on with the chain, I’m bringing like The Rock—looking like The Rock in ‘05,” Bibby said of Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson for all you wrestling fans. A playful self-comparison that established the lewd tone for the whole conversation — clearly Bibby was game to play along.
The entirety of this incident represents an extreme example of the peculiar culture that exists on social media for celebrities. This is a place where friendly trolling/blocking and casual banter, creates a vibrant community and serves as an unlimited source of entertainment for the fans. This type of good-natured mocking is a perfect example of the kind of fun, interactive environment social media can foster among celebs; Lil Bibby, 21 Savage and G Herbo just provided us with another sterling case in point.
