  "account": "Lil Baby expresses openness to collaborating with pop star Sabrina Carpenter, stating he is willing to \"step out of the box.\" The rapper noted that his comfort zone is somewhat limited, but he is open to expanding it, potentially even creating something with Carpenter. Pop star collaborations have become less common in recent years, with Camila Cabello attempting to keep them alive by teaming up with Drake and Playboi Carti. Dua Lipa's \"Levitating\" remix with DaBaby also dominated the charts in 2020. Lil Baby's upcoming Fresh album, set to release on November 6, will not include collaborations with Sabrina Carpenter or other pop stars, though it will feature appearances from Future, Young Thug, and Rylo Rodriguez.",
  "summary": "A former staple of the pop ecosystem, the rapper/pop star link-up is essentially extinct.",
