DaBaby released his latest music video for his track “Tough Skin” where he gets crucified and burned in the video. The track was released on Tuesday, August, 9, and the visual representation was released very soon after that. The video shows the Charlottesville native bound to a cross with faceless figures in matching red suits around him. The faceless figures throw rocks at DaBaby’s naked body before lighting him on fire. This new single finds the “Bop” rapper reliving and reminiscing about his rough childhood upbringing. While on the Full Send podcast, DaBaby mentioned that this music is the most focused of his career. The rapper stated, “This is the most attention I’ve paid to some music before I dropped it.”
DaBaby took to Instagram to announce the release of the single “Let’s get this Baby on Baby 2 shit started.” Check out the full Instagram post below.
Things have certainly not been easy for DaBaby lately, earlier this year he confirmed that someone tried to invade his home. DaBaby explains the situation of the home invader while on the same podcast, stating “I got a call from somebody that was outside working, like my contractor. I got a call from him and he was like ‘Somebody’s on the football field.” The rapper shot the intruder in the leg after they trespassed on his 2.3 million dollar home in Troutman. Before this, in 2021 a video of the rapper being interrogated by Miami Beach Police was made public and revealed he was involved in another shooting that left two people injured. Both shootings seemed to be cases of self-defense.
With so many difficulties happening to DaBaby, it’s no wonder that this music video has a bit darker tone than previous ones. See the full music video below.
