How DaBaby Destroyed His Reputation 

“Dababy has slowly become the internets most hated rappah”

"Most hated rappaaaaaaahhh" Bro went extra on that 💀

“he really came for a whole kid, which accompanied a post by james charles” BRO LMFAOOOOO 💀💀💀

One of the incidents that lost him a lot of fans and respect was the one where he called the police on the mother of his newborn child on LIVE, and was attempting his hardest to have her put out with said newborn in the middle of the night. A lot of people expressed a huge disdain for him after that as well. It was big enough to be noted in this clip for sure.

Going from over 120,000 first week to 16,000 has to be one of the biggest fall offs in rap history. You can't get "blackballed" if your music is good and people genuinely enjoy it.

I'm impressed you didn't mention all the times that he got into fights, there's even a popular Twitter account keeping track whether he got into trouble or not everyday.

He went from a famous rapper to only being positively remembered for a car meme

This is what happens when your talent takes you places your character can't handle.

Never been a DaBaby fan and it’s seemed like most rap fans anticipated his fall from grace as soon as he blew. His rise was so fast and his talent was so mid that his career didn’t seem sustainable even if he didn’t self sabotage. His best bet is to go away for a while, pop back up on some lighthearted laugh type shit, and then lean into the washed up rapper/reformed good guy image.

When you blow up on mid talent, you can fall off for anything at any time. DaBaby’s fall off was less about the controversy and more about ppl just got bored of his schtick and the controversy was just an easy excuse to leave him behind.

People like to look over the fact that he also antagonized Megan thee Stallion out of nowhere and destroyed their working relationship for no logical reason. In that same Rolling Loud performance, he brought out Tory Lanez with the initial intention of actually storming the stage while Megan was still performing. Megan had an active restraining order against Tory at the time. Not to mention him doing a song with the man and practically abandoning his relationship with Meg for blog headlines. That turned off many of his female supporters, including myself, who was once a fan of the two's collabs.

DaBaby was one of my favorites in 2019. It’s so crazy to see how different it is with him just a few years later

It’s actually kind of crazy how much Dababy has fallen off. There were a lot of people listening to his music when I was in high school. It’s crazy how fast rappers can fall off nowadays.

Really disappointing you didn't mention the Megan The Stallion incident, I feel like a very large part of his fall off was because of that. It happened at a pretty critical time for him, and a lot of other pretty bad stuff you mentioned had already happened, so he was on thin ice with the public. THEN when Megan spoke out about the incident, because DaBaby was being himself and saying she was lying when she had actual medical records showing what happened, she spoke out regarding violence against black women as well as issues within the black community and their treatment of black women. That significantly affected DaBabys career, as he had done a handful of songs with her and she was still on a steady incline in her career. He effectively ruined their working relationship leading to significantly less positive exposure and money for himself. Edited for clarity. Edit: Wow, tysm for 4k likes! I just want to add that at this time, the trial regarding the event I mentioned is in process. The jury selection has finished, so the proceedings will be starting soon. I'm sure if you're interested there will be more in the news sooner than later.

This whole thing left out his biggest controversy yet. His relationship with Danny Leigh and how he treated her😭

Someone once said that female fans are very important to a rapper’s career bc they’re the ones more likely to buy merch (tshirts, etc). And when he turned on Megan, he lost the fans that liked them both

One of the points I think some people dislike more than someone who says rude, or incorrect things. Is someone who then apologizes on it, and then says “actually I didn’t mean it.” Then, “no I did mean it.” I don’t think people really like someone who isn’t firm within themselves, and just blows whichever way the wind is blowing.

Twittaaaaa 😂 your killing me man. Good video

Most modern rappers and hip-hop artists are the same kind of people who would walk in a gas station at 3am to buy Swisher Sweets and get mad when you ask for an ID.

Dababy has always been a great example of the importance of knowing your target audience. He is a gangsta rapper who wanted to blow up from the streets. Most rappers like him are vying for repeated play in black communities but no one wanted to hear that shit. No one person I've ever met, in the hood or elsewhere, would ever blast or admit to blasting Dababy. He was popular amongst young white kids: the audience he really didn't want to be associated with. Instead of just playing to his audience and going for the smart money, he kept lashing out against this inevitability. He thought the hood was where he was getting his plays from so it was easy to say "fuck these kids", then when his market share dried up, he started switching up and moving goal posts. But, by that time, it was wayyyyy too late ((Edited to against to amongst))

Also important to mention that DaBaby is the most one-dimensional rapper in recent memory. A large percentage of people were just sick of the same repetitive flow over and over.

My man was rejected by Burger King. BURGER KING! Want him to really think on how bad his life got that even Burger Kings rejected him 😂

Dababy, the only man who contradicts his own contradictions that contradicts his own contradiction

The thing is that social media didn't ruin his career as he tries to make it look, he did. He needs to decide whether he wants to apologize or not. He is giving half apologies to keep his tough guy image but at the same time he's trying to look and sound apologetic to stop brands from dropping him. He needs to just shut up and make music. No matter what he said or did, he was going to have people hating, he needs to do what the DaBaby jn the podcasts said and ignore all the drama.

Not to mention, that throughout this entire time he has engaged in a plethora of violence acts, shooting a guy in a Walmart, assaulting an old man while shooting a video, beating a dude up in a bowling alley. DaBaby doesn't know how to move with major attention, thus he shouldn't get any 🤷‍♂️.

That last phrase seems to be one of the biggest learnings that come from many, many videos of SunnyV2's videos: If you're famous and accidentally stand into shit, it is NEVER advisable to apologize for your reputation's sake - or maybe ever. Just continue grinding. If you learned something from the incident, live that change through your actions, but even if not, it's better to just stay an authentically flawed person than an unauthentic good person. Actions express priorities - Ghandi We are all aware that everyone, including ourselves, is flawed. And that's mostly okay. What's not okay is somebody trying to get attention by pretending not to be flawed.

I absolutely love how quality sunnys videos are

You didn’t even bring up the fiasco with his baby mamma . Honestly that was the icing on the cake with his career. Many of his fans were females and when they watched him ON INSTAGRAM LIVE kick his baby’s mother and out of his house while she was visibly distressed many stopped messing with him After that. The shade room tore that man to shreds. I’m really disappointed you didn’t touch on that part in your video

I swear I never liked him. He was so full of himself and I knew that people would not like that over the time. It’s funny because I don’t follow him and I just knew that he will fall off soon. I typed “did da baby fall off “ right now and here we are. A human being will never be bigger than the program so make sure to always be humble and down to earth because nobody likes a narcissist. Not even narcissists like himself won’t like him because they think that they’re so above and beyond themselves so they can’t stand a person who acts likewise. It’s so negative and lame. Nothing good will ever come from negativity of all its forms. Jealousy, envy, hatred, undercover hate, spitting poison indirectly, not wishing the best for others, having a problem with people who grew up with you if they’re doing better financially, and most importantly associating yourself with people who have these characteristics because negativity is contagious. Stay positive people ❤. Remember that life is nothing but time. Everyone has a clock ⏰ ticking over their heads and when the battery runs out, it is all over. So don’t waste your time being toxic.

His comment on the flight attendant was rude and sad af like he said it straight to her face. I feel terrible 😭😭😭

I remember when everyone used to say "Less goo" or do that gun thing to their head good times shame ended quickly in less than half a year.

He doesn't have a "tough gangster image" because of his music, he has it because he's a literal killer and he's not afraid to shoot/batter/rob people

He really turned from convertible to controversial real quick

He literal stomped a guy's head into the ground and got away with it.

James charles with the roast of the absolute century oh my god 🤣😂

I think another factor of his downfall was how he treated Megan Thee Stallion after the entire Tory Lanez situation. Him & her both kinda rose in popularity at the same time, while they both benefited a lot from collaborating with one another whenever they had a new project coming out. But whenever he decided to bring Tory out on stage during his Rolling Stone performance, it kinda struck everyone the wrong way after the incident had just happened with Megan & Tory and made everyone question how close DaBaby was with Megan. Also, when he said his homophobic things at the live show it sort of did kind of blackball him from the industry in the way he probably wasn’t thinking of since I am pretty sure a lot of the pop girls (whose vast majority of their audiences are lgbtq+) probably didn’t want to associate themselves, alienate or invalidate their fanbases by collaborating with him especially after the backlash they saw Dua Lipa receive for weeks about his comments until she finally had to address them.

The insults towards the flight attendant about not combing her hair, combined with the effed up hairdo at 7:43 was simply amazing

"Rapaaaahhh" "Siwaaaah" "youtubaahhh"

5:42 Lollapalooza: "we are commited to diversity and inclusion" Also lollapalooza: Therefore we are excluding this black artist from our event

7:40 there is no way the guy next to dababy is making fun of her hair 💀💀💀💀

You fail to mention the music aspect of the downfall of DaBaby as well. It's the primary reason for his fall, the first domino that lead to the fall of the others. It's not the just the drama outside of music that resulted in this. He got popular off a certain type beat and flow and has been forcefully trying to replicate that success using the same flows and beats which is where the hate ACTUALLY started.

I don’t think dababy’s antics really had anything to do with his fall off, being out of pocket was kinda part of his brand. I think the mainstream just got sick of him musically. 90% of the time someone talks about dababys music they’re saying he uses the same flow over and over again. I don’t think he was blackballed either… he was literally getting top spots on playlists (at least on Spotify) for his 2 latest albums and I heard that bestie song on the radio at least a hundred times

I was so late to this train, just heard people make dababy jokes and how his career was over. I decided to search up "what did dababy do?". Now i can't read that sentence without thinking "what the dog doin?"

"Going to a Dababy concert cause I need some alone time" 🤣🤣🤣 Apply cold water to that burn.

SunnyV2's sheer rate of video releases alongside the production value is incredible. Keep up the great work Sunny!

i'm absolutely blown away how a rich man doesn't change out his smoke alarm detectors' batteries. 3:30

Idk where my mental health would be without this channel

I feel like the way you framed this video would invoke a lot more sympathy for Dababy from someone watching it who doesn't know anything about him. If you even mentioned that he victim blamed Megan the Stallion and also literally killed somebody I feel like that would've done this tale more justice.

What I've learned from SunnyV2's videos is that: If I ever become famous and get myself involved in some nasty stuff, NEVER RESPOND to the people anywhere and dont mention it either

Never heard off but still love watching these videos

“I don’t roll like that. I do fold, however.”

You also forgot to mention he went on instagram live and kicked out his baby's mother AND new born baby in the middle of the night.

Case study on knowing your audience. He took the comments from people online to be comments from fans. He started conforming to their demands and standards, and lost his actual audience. It’s like the high end grocery store in my town that went hard against mask mandates, or the BBQ truck stop that went hard the other direction. Both forgot which group kept them in business, and both lost

I am from Charlotte and met Dababy. He was respectful and polite. He comes from a community that bears itself as real and authentic. He’s opening his mouth and making himself look bad. God keeps his people in check. I know he believes in God. Do better Dababy

I fu king DIED at the start when he said da baby then he said rappaaah I fell of my chair💀

DaBaby really just became a popular meme last year and now people has lost all of their positive feeling towards him, what a great thing to witness.

Sunny left out the fact that he shot multiple people each at a separate location. His comments at rolling loud wasn’t just offensive, but he was also perpetuating a stereotype that only gay people have HIV/AIDS. He’s been a total menace within the black community. Sunny usually does a great job on researching people for his videos, but this one feels as though his only source was Twitter. If he even ventured into black Twitter, the ones who orchestrated Dababy’s downfall, he would have seen that he is missing multiple pieces of the puzzle.

Thin Line Between Love & Hate Dababys Attitude Is Crazy That Why Shit Ain't Go Fo Him The Right Way...

The extend on "rapaaaaaaaahhhh"

What I have learned from this channel is never apologize

I love how you can turn every simple video into a description full documentary, gotta love your work. 👍

DaBaby is far from the most hated rapper. That title should probably given to 6ix 9ine. The cold shoulder that all of Hip-Hop is giving him is unprecedented.

Rappahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I love u sunny bro u kill me with that shi bro🤣

Now.. after all of that... *Im still listening to "Rockstar" rn..*

You missed a major detail in the fact he made a song with Meg the stallions ex fling or whatever that shot her in the foot. & the villian in boogie man was portraying her thus making more people dislike him because of their past chemistry.

Despite how controversial she is, Azealia Banks still has a strong, dedicated fanbase, and she's still selling out shows. Common criticism of Dababy that I keep seeing is that he just keeps putting out the same sound over and over and over again. If that's true, then I can see that being the main factor of his downfall.

7:43 How are you gonna get mad at Bed Head when the person sitting next to you turned their hair into a plunger 😂😂😂😂

The fact that People keep up with the drama and build it up on twitter is extremely dumb thats why I dont even use it and it should not be a platform

0:49 that’s fucking rich coming from James Charles

On December 31st 2020, Dababy was 9th in monthy listeners on Spotify, now, he's 93rd

Music is like candy. You throw away the wrappers.

The fire alarm beeping at 3:30 is something I saw coming from a mile away

You should do a video on Brother Nature, he was insanely popular a few years ago until the sandwich shop thing and quite possibly fell harder than anyone youve covered. It's been over 2 years and he still hasn't recovered and his tweets are always littered with "we haven't forgotten" comments

He apparently also had beef with Dua Lipa, telling her nobody knew who she was before they collabed on the song "Levitating", implying he's a bigger artist than her. Which is quite ironic for me as I've never heard of the guy before he was in that song with her.

Bro was talking about the flight attendants hair as if Dunk's hair aint full on whack

Bro I had a zoom meeting and then there was someone called DaBaby joined our zoom call and our teacher saw them too😂😂😂

Considering how easy it is for people to get cancelled and get shit for 'not apologising', it's not right that someone should get shit for apologising. Being able to admit where you went wrong and take accountability is a strength that more of us should have. BUT he keeps doing stupid shit and making insincere apologies and going back on them. He's one of many many people who need to stay off of social media, its for his own good and everyone else's.

I mean there was that time where he beat the living crap out of someone who was obviously accosting him for clout while he was in a luxury brands store..he beat dude so bad that he was slumped with his pants down in a corner.. after which Dababy made a music video about it. There was that other time where he punched a female fan in the face, I think that was at a club..and the video clip you showed was a fan who accidentally put her flash on when trying to ask for a pic with him, in response he shoved the camera in her face, effectively hitting her. His apology in that clip you showed where he's mentioning the phone incident, he also says that if he knew she was a girl he probably wouldn't have hit her as hard. Essentially he 'apologized' and then told her that his reaction (hitting her) was due to not knowing she was a 'female'. He also had that other time where him and his body guards ganged up on someone wanting an autograph with him because when he said no the fan asked why not. There's that other time where he actually got off on murdering someone in a walmart. He said it was self defense but after footage came out and witnesses' (one of which being a person he was with at the time) started to come out disputing the self defense claim, people soon realized that he was lying. But by then it was already too late. He also created a record label, signed his first artist, was a feature at his artists first show and then afterward proceeded to beat up the artist backstage... So I think it's fair to say that maybe his fall from grace has less to do with him idk..responding on social media to people asking wtf is his issue after he does/says something controversial.. and more like..maybe he's done and said a lot of shitty things in too short of a timespan too quickly, for our collective goldfish memories to forget what he's done and go back to liking him. I mean I don't know too many people who pay money to go to a concert on the off chance that the artist they're going to see, might beat their ass but that might just be my circle.

"dababy is slowly becoming the most hated rapper" R-kelly: wanna bet

After watching all these videos I’ve learned the best way to handle a situation is to ignore it😂 everyone’s downfall seems to be responding to criticism 😅

Social Media doesn't ruin careers, giving famous people a road to express their own thoughts just exposes who they are. It just gives a lense to the people who probably like you or your work to see and hear what you do and say off stage or off camera.

I get sad when sunny’s videos end

He went from a top rapper to being a spotlight in a car meme 💀💀💀

A huge part of his downfall was his situation with his baby mothers, which isn’t addressed in this video. What he did with Dani Leigh severely impacted his female fan base to the point that they essentially boycotted him. His arrogance and violent outbursts (justified or not) is simply not a good look.

It’s crazy how he’s literally just being an average non-Internet person and that in and of itself was what killed his career. I still remember a time where his rap style and behavior would literally be rewarded for being so committed to his image without being apologetic.

Can't believe he told that flight attendant to comb her hair while his dawg sitting there with a plunger on his shit.....

It's so weird, the drama he gets roped into is so random. It'd be like if I became embroiled in a drama for dissing the taste of Nachos at some obscure festival and being bullied by the internet at large.

I feel this has a bit of an ironic tone, as often it's people acting childishly that gets them in hot water, but this time it (or a part of it) is the creator taking responsibility and answering the drama like a "good" person, but also contradicting himself in the process, and that is what ended up ruining his image and his career.

You forgot to mention that his tickets sells were so bad he had to do the “buy one get one free” shit

Agree. At some point he becomes the victim of bullying himself

"JoJo Sea Wahhhh" -sunnyv2 😂😂

Dababy really Had it in his hands , he was supposed to be one of top meme, funny , and loving rapper but instead he is left to be fallen because of mistakes HE made. He made himself a monster, and not to mention I never knew he was trying to kiss a fan and entirely got curved that just make him look like such a monster and a creep. My teachers used to tell me , "If you got an opinion you know will get you in trouble, don't bring attention to it" and even though that quote may have nothing to do with DaBaby's situation, it's the only quote I can remember that has something to do with his situation...

Love you sunny!! Thanks for the amazing content. NEVER MISSES

something i have learned over the years celebrity's cannot answer to comments anywhere

I think one of the issues is his sound being tolerable to the general public for one album

I'm a new subscriber and I just wanna say I absolutely enjoy your commentary and your style of it. I was litterally binge watching all your older videos too and you definitely deserve the subs you got. Keep it up my guy!🙋🏽‍♀️

I’m not sure if him apologizing is this issue (not that you’re saying that’s the main issue). I think he really comes off as spoiled and impulsive and overall problematic.

I now hate someone I didn’t even know 9 minutes ago.

You didn't mention that he made several posts and story about how he didn't care about those who cancelled him, he saif what he said, and he still rich etc until basically everyone cancelling him and then that's when he apologized

dababy: *most hated rapper* ye: "hold my beer"
