I will never understand why people willingly choose to broadcast their drama to the world on social media, but by now we should all be used to DaBaby delivering chaos and bullshit to the masses.

The rapper, still reeling from a controversy of his own making this summer, started the week by broadcasting his dispute with background dancer turned musical headliner DaniLeigh — who happens to be the mother of his youngest child — via Instagram Live. As she bottle-fed their daughter, DaBaby tried to remove her from his home before ultimately calling the police in order to do so. Following the call, the two artists traded posts on their Instagram Stories, in which DaBaby managed to work in promo. [blankstare.gif]

In his post, DaBaby that wrote his intentions were to “swiftly remove myself from any of the ‘hostile’ behavior put on display moments ago.” He added that he recorded the argument for his protection before proceeding to end by plugging his upcoming tour and recent EP, Back On My Baby Jesus Sh!t AGAIN. Finding a way to turn domestic violence into a marketing opportunity says many things about DaBaby, but none especially positive about his parenting.
