Lil Baby Says People Wanted Him To Beef With DaBaby Over Rap Name

Lil Baby Was Told To Beef With DaBaby Over Rap Name

Lil Baby and DaBaby are undeniably one of the hottest new generation rappers at the moment and the duo have a successful hit song ‘Baby’ together.

But it seems people are not too cool with the rappers having the same suffix “Baby” added to their name.

Just as it’s widely believed that “beef is part of Hip Hop”, Lil Baby revealed that he was told several times to beef with DaBaby but he wasn’t interested in unnecessary drama.  Lil Baby recently sat down with Joe Budden to speak about his come up, and he opened up about his relationship with DaBaby.

When Budden asked Lil Baby if anyone in his camp tried to position him and DaBaby against each other because of the similarities of their names, Lil Baby answered : “I always heard it from day one. A nigga will be like, ‘He tried to say this’ and I’ll be like, ‘No.’ Every time, I made sure it wasn’t going to be nothing.”

Lil Baby added that he doesn’t really believe in beefing with anyone, even if the other person instigates the situation. Lil Baby shared that he and DaBaby collaborated way back before either was really famous.

It appears Lil Baby met Dababy while the former was just starting to rap at SXSW. “I seen him at South by Southwest before I really started rapping with a diaper on like on some baby shit,” Lil Baby explained. “Even though my name was Baby from hustling before rap…. I gotta song with him for a feature before he got hot. ”

“He don’t sound like me. He don’t kick my swag. His name just ‘DaBaby.'” Watch the full interview below :
