DaBaby made the claim via Instagram this week, amid disappointing sales projections for Baby on Baby 2. The 14-track release is expected to move just 16,000 units in its first week—a massive drop from the 124,000 units earned by his previous solo full-length, 2020’s Blame It on Baby.
DaBaby has faced a series of controversies over the past few years, including the aforementioned brawl, his support for Kanye’s presidential campaign, and a shooting outside his North Carolina home. His career took the most significant hit after his performance at 2021’s Rolling Loud Miami, where he spewed homophobic comments and inaccurate information about HIV/AIDS.
In the aftermath, DaBaby lost major business deals and had multiple gigs canceled, leading some to believe he was being blackballed. Boosie Badazz, who is no stranger to controversy, seems to agree with that assessment currently.
“Ain’t no way my n***a @DaBabyDaBaby supposed to sell 16k after selling almost 150k his last first week,” Boosie tweeted. “He one of the BIGGEST n this shit ‼️I DONT KNOW WHATS GOING ON BUT SOMETHING IS DEFINITELY GOING ON ‼️”
