DaBaby Says He Taught Teens A Lesson For Trying To Finesse Him $200

DaBaby Explains He Was Teaching Young Fans Selling Candy A Lesson

DaBaby has been under fire for giving kids selling candy $4 after they tried to finesse him of $200. It started when a couple of teenagers came up to him on the street and tried to sell him two boxes of candy for $200.

The rapper decided to teach them a lesson instead. He found out that they were selling individual bags for $2, counted up all of the bags they were selling him.

Baby then told them that the boxes wouldn’t add up to over a hundred dollars. In the end, he gave the teens $4 and left with two bags of candy. While many believe he was trying to teach the boys a lesson about greed, others are busy dragging him.

Not shocked that people are defending DaBaby. People dream of attaining excess wealth just so they can shit on others. They want their chance at being a rich dickhead.

Why would you as a black man go and violate two black boys selling snacks on the street? You’re supposed to give them some change and tell them to keep the snacks so they can hold onto more inventory. Dababy is a fucking bozo I want the worst for him pic.twitter.com/HKVcbguLxb

I’ve seen no less than 20 people say that DaBaby was teaching those kids a valuable lesson. I’m trying to figure out the lesson he was teaching.

However, during a recent interview with Complex, the Charlotte rapper explained his actions. “Anytime I buy something from somebody else in there I buy the whole thing. Especially when it’s kids,” he began.

“I give them the opportunity, just make it make sense why you want $200 for this. You tell me, ‘Man, I usually charge somebody this for the whole box. I’m just gon’ charge you $2 all the way down.’ I’da looked at him, gave him a thousand dollars.”

DaBaby added that he respected their hustle. “I ain’t cuss ’em out and this and that. I gave them knowledge and bought one piece of candy from each of them and closed the door.” Still, people continue to debate the rapper’s decision.
