Jonathan Lyndale Kirk is DaBaby’s actual name, and his stage name is DaBaby. He was actually born in the year of 1991 on December 22, in Cleveland, Ohio. He used to go by the stage name “Baby Jesus.” However, he switched it because he felt it was too politically sensitive and also that the name did not fit in with the rap music industry. The artist rocketed to popular fame in 2019, but his bodyguard overshadowed him, leaving many admirers wondering how tall he is. DaBaby is the father of three kids, one of whom he raised with his old girlfriend, named MeMe. Every one of the kids has indeed been sheltered out of the limelight. And their identities have yet to be verified on the internet and in the media.
Controversy about his height and much more
DaBaby has indeed been making the news and headlines for all the wrong reasons. On July 25, while performing at the Rolling Loud festival in Miami, the artist stopped and shouted abusive remarks at the LGBTQ community. This showed that he was homophobic and, after hearing this, Dua Lipa was shocked and mentioned in her tweet her hundred percent support for the LGBTQ community.
DaBaby, who stands at a reported 5-foot-8, has always been the brunt of many jokes regarding his small stature. Especially in a viral photograph in which he looks like a dwarf, as compared to his bodyguard. For instance, in the month of February, the artist got embroiled in an even more spectacular, although less spectacular, incident when he appeared to criticize and insult the Nickelodeon singer JoJo Siwa in one of his tracks.
DaBaby hit with bottles?
Dababy got doused on stage at his Rolling Loud concert while his performance in Los Angeles. The rapper took his own sweet time to apologize for the homophobic comments he made earlier and faced the consequences of it during his performance. But while he did not have the greatest welcome, they loved him by the end of his performance because the rapper tried to keep it cool and continue his performance.
How did he get famous?
Apart from this, he is still famous for a lot of his songs. DaBaby is 29 years old. He shot to fame in the year of 2019 after releasing the song “Rockstar,” which also featured Roddy Ricch. This famous track stayed on the Billboard Hot 100 chart for approximately seven weeks. In the year 2021, he was shortlisted for six Grammy Prizes. He also won several other awards, including a BET Hip Hop Award, a Billboard Music Award, and three ASCAP Rythmn & Soul Music Awards. DaBaby surpassed Drake and Kanye West to become the most streamed artist on the famous app Spotify per month in May 2021. Spotify ranking is a very special thing for artists.
