Do y'all think DaBaby burned his bridges with artists who actually matter in hip-hop with how he responded to Questlove though? I think that's something that's gonna hurt him more than what he said as we know that most rappers don't care about homophobia, but don't take kindly to unwarranted disrespect towards the OGs.

Am i tripping or are there no results when you search dababy in YouTube

Not all, but it’s possible he burned some. Depends on how spiteful Questlove is

Either take a 6-8 month break and surprise drop an album

or

Make up a story about something happened to him as a kid and scarred him for life

That’s not what I’m saying. Hip hop/rap talks about grimey s*** 95% of the time. Picking and choosing where the line is, is never gonna work in this kinda of genre. At worst in DaBaby’s situation he loses big brand endorsements. But he will always be able to pull 50-100k a month just doing 1 or 2 shows in just the south.

Hip hop/rap is really the last true “land of 2nd chances”. We allow the most grimey individuals to thrive and potentially better themselves down the line. Some continue to thrive while still being grimey.

For example I f*** with Est Gee, but that nigga be rapping about fentanyl and doing some real snake s*** to niggas.

Im not denying pop smoke was a homophobe. I'm just saying the music industry is politics. Dua lipa could be homophobic behind closed doors but she will protect her public image so she can keep making money. If the pop smoke s*** blows up she will do the same thing.Thats the point im trying to make

I think they will back him honestly. His next album bout to have big feats for sure. Some rappers already see it as a hunt on a black artist.

Or perform at the Grammys with Nas X

This gotta sting for DaBaby

Depends on how he manages to ride this storm currently lol if he handles it poorly expect those "big feats" to be Boosie, Tory Lanez, and maybe Chris Brown lol

Same applies to you

?

He chose the real one way started by 50. But people already see it as Pop Vs Rap or some s***. Or white Vs black. They all forgetting he offended the gays.

nah the damage is done imo

I agree and that IS happening. and it’s upsetting to see on here and in all the social media reactions to this developing story

But that’s basically saying we can’t reprimand and call out homophobic statements/actions because it’s just going to cause more homophobia and cause more division and that’s just a horrible attitude

People in this thread are forgetting that he said what he said out of the context of his actual music.

Everything does. Just look at the response to Lil Nas performance at the BETs or any other awards.

I don't think Questlove gotta do/say anything to other artists about working with DaBaby honestly. That's how good his name is in the industry lol

Most of these girls audience is girls and gays, of course she's gonna protect her brand

Questlove seems like a nice dude and is ofc respected but he has no real reach, especially not to anyone baby would care about

I just opened up TikTok and they talking about the DaBaby is OVER

yes thanks for regurgitating what i just said

They deleted that thread quick about Drake exposed as a homophobe too

“Cac like races”

?
