A video of DaBaby refusing to pay kids $200 for candy has Twitter divided
DaBaby is known to flex his wealth and status in both his music and on social media. Today, a video surfaced of two kids approaching him to sell candy. The kids recognized him, even referring to him by name. When he asks how much for the entire box, the kids tell him it is two hundred dollars. The Charlotte rapper then grills the kids on the contents of the box of candy and the price per bag, calling them out for “finessing” him. He then only pays the kids four dollars for two bags of candy with no tip. The video features him in his expensive car while wearing designer clothing, which was also a talking point for viewers of the video.

Twitter remains divided over the issue, with many fans jumping to his defense. Some believed the kids shouldn’t have tried to scam DaBaby into paying extra, while others argued that sellers were just kids who could have used the extra money. Some fans questioned DaBaby’s goal of “teaching them a lesson” when he recorded the kids and made fun of them. Overall, it would appear that no matter his wealth or status, DaBaby doesn’t appreciate people trying to scam him because of it. Whether he was in the right or being selfish is up to the viewer.
