Baby Keem Strikes Gold With Casino Tour in Brooklyn: Top 5 Moments

After five years, Baby Keem is back outside. The Ca$ino Tour invaded Brooklyn on Thursday night (June 4) ahead of the Las Vegas native’s co-headlining performance this weekend at Governors Ball in Queens.

The North American leg kicked off in April and it’s set to wrap up next week before Baby Keem heads to Europe. Keem had the 2,700 fans in attendance at a sold-out Brooklyn Paramount feeling like they each hit the euphoria of a slot machine jackpot or drew 21 during a hand at the blackjack table.

Two Phone Baby Keem delivered his Ca$ino album in February, which found him peeling back the layers of his turbulent childhood and life story, while delving into the loss of his mother and grandmother, the latter of whom passed away last year. The album served as his first since 2021’s The Melodic Blue and debuted at No. 4 on the Billboard 200.

A Highsnobiety interview with Baby Keem from Thursday gave fans a deeper look into why the “Family Ties” rapper took an extended hiatus just when his career was taking off in a major way. Keem opened up about health issues that forced him to press pause and spend some time out of the spotlight.

“I’ll never be super public about what it was because I don’t want that to be the narrative,” the 25-year-old said. “Going through that was the hardest setback for me. You have all these [moments] where you’re like, ‘Damn, I really won’t make music ever again.'”

2026 has been a story of redemption for Keem as he picks up where he left off, and he felt plenty of love in Brooklyn as if he were one of the borough’s own. “Every time I come to Brooklyn, I get so much love,” he told the crowd mid-show.

Keem kicked off the Brooklyn paramount show around 9:45 p.m. ET and stepped to the stage in all-red threads, sitting perched atop the Ca$ino Tour stage like a watchful eye in the sky. The 25-year-old weaved in a mix of Ca$ino cuts with catalog classics like “Vent,” “Family Ties” and “16,” which still had juice with the frenetic crowd, before wrapping up just shy of 11 p.m. ET.
