Lil Baby<\/a><\/strong> had a gator guarding the sticks this week. The Atlanta rapper became the first to play the Xbox Series X-BITE<\/a>, a working console<\/a> built into an alligator replica.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

As spotted<\/a> on Complex<\/em>, Baby shared photos and footage of himself playing the custom Xbox on Instagram on Wednesday (Nov. 4). The gator stretches more than five feet from snout to tail. A wireless controller with bite marks rests in its jaws, and a glowing Xbox logo peeks out from the Series X tucked in its belly.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xbox took its cues from Florida wildlife and enlisted John Nolan Studio to build the gator. The creature effects shop has worked on Jurassic World Dominion<\/em> and The Witcher<\/em>. Good luck fitting this one on the TV stand. The gaming session was part of the rollout for FRESH<\/a><\/em>, Baby\u2019s fifth studio album, which dropped today (Friday, Nov. 6). The 17-track project brings Future, Young Thug and Rylo Rodriguez together on \u201cAll My Partnas.\u201d It also includes \u201cDead Fresh,\u201d the Pharrell Williams-produced single Baby debuted at Louis Vuitton\u2019s menswear show in Paris in June. He marked release day with a video for \u201cMr. Do Something,\u201d which takes him back through his old Atlanta neighborhood.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Xbox is giving away the one-of-a-kind console. To enter, follow @Xbox on X, Instagram, or TikTok, repost the designated sweepstakes announcement from a public account, and manually add #XbiteSweepstakes. Entries close Tuesday (Nov. 10) at 11:59 p.m. PT.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
