DaBaby says that since his Rolling Loud controversy in July, he’s lost more than $100 million.
The rapper’s career has been on a downward spiral since July 2021 after he made disparaging and insensitive comments about the LGBTQ community and people living with HIV/AIDS. Since then, he’s pulled out of several festivals, and not only have his bookings dried up, but there’s been a lull in his career with him not being able to draw much of a crowd, while he’s also seen some of the best sales his lows. career. The rapper has insisted that he is being hit by streaming platforms.
Rolling Loud’s appearance resulted in some major controversy, which DaBaby proudly insists are “three viral moments.” In particular, the rapper brought out collaborator Tory Lanez right after Megan Thee Stallion’s set, which was problematic in itself as Lanez was in a relationship and had strict conditions to adhere to, which included keeping his distance from Megan while his issue of severe attack continues.
The appearance led to Lanez’s bond being revoked for violating his release conditions, and he was arrested and booked into jail before being granted a second bond in a much higher amount.
Since then, DaBaby’s career has taken a bump, but the rapper insists it can’t be undone. Speaking with Ebro Darden on Tuesday, he explained that he had lost a lot of money over the past year.
“F**k no, I’m not into conspiracy theory this and that until you see it cost $100 million in a year, then you see this real, this is no conspiracy. **t, that’s true,” DaBaby said.
Tory Lanez and Dababy
DaBaby, who recently released a song claiming he slept with Megan Thee Stallion, was called out for bringing Tory Lanez out on stage, especially since he and Megan previously collaborated on music, but their relationship seemed to have soured. The rapper, however, said he didn’t care if fans thought he was antagonizing the Houston rapper by bringing Lanez on stage.
“No, I could care less, if I wanted to, the song I just released, the second an****ga played it hard on the internet, I could have busted a****a bubble… stay in business your not including me don’t make me say why you feel a certain way about this song coming out.. me and bruh made this song before whatever alleged feud they had,” DaBaby said.
The “Sneaky Link Anthem” rapper says he didn’t care about Megan’s situation because it had nothing to do with her.
“This n***a paid me for the verse, paid me for the video, crazy, what am I going to do? Because of some supposed situation he’s going on that has nothing to do with me, shouldn’t I give this man what he paid for? Don’t post this sh*t, it’s not that deep,” DaBaby insisted.
DaBaby also appeared to take Megan Thee Stallion down on their “Nasty” collaboration with Ashanti, where he hinted that the “WAP” rapper used it to get on the Billboard charts.

DaBaby also addressed his latest single “Boogeyman,” where he claimed to sleep with Megan, but didn’t say if his claims were true or not.
“It is what it is. I have said a long time ago, put me out of business. It’s a song. It’s out now. Gas N*** can take it however they want to take it.” He said adding that the backlash won’t make him change the lyrics.

The beatdown was caught on tape, but the rapper has taken no responsibility for his part in the fight, which left Dan’s brother Brandon badly beaten.
