DaBaby, born Jonathan Lyndale Kirk, is among the most popular rappers today. However, if you are unfamiliar with him, you can learn a lot by reading this article.
Recently, DaBaby was interviewed by Kyle Forgeard, Bradley Martyn, and Steiny on Bob Menery’s Full Send Podcast on July 22. The “Kirk” rapper addressed several headline-grabbing topics during the lively discussion.
How Much Money Does Jonathan Make From His Performances?
He has traveled to several countries throughout his career, including South Korea. As a result of doing one show in South Korea, he earned a significant amount of money. Approximately 10,000 people attended this concert.
“In South Korea I made $450,000 for one show,” he said in the interview. “Do you know how many people came?” Steiny asked. “I think they had about 10,000 out there. It was outside of where they have the Olympics at,” said DaBaby.
Also, the Charlotte native says he receives offers of $200,000 for performing at clubs on occasion.
DaBaby Makes Infuriating Remarks
As a recap, July 25, 2021, in Miami, the third and final day of the Rolling Loud Music Festival, was an unsettling experience for many festival-goers. In addition to DaBaby, other big-name artists such as Megan Thee Stallion, Jack Harlow, Chris Brown, and several others also took the stage. However, some of his performance was quite different from what many expected.
At one point in the performance, the “21” rapper erupted on a rant and made homophobic and misogynistic remarks.
“If you didn’t show up today with HIV, AIDS, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that’ll make you die in two to three weeks, then put your cellphone lighter up,” he told the crowd.
“Ladies, if your p*ssy smell like water, put your cellphone lighter up. Fellas, if you ain’t sucking d*ck in the parking lot, put your cellphone lighter up.”
Many people were offended by these remarks. Nevertheless, rapper T.I. defended him. Nonetheless, Jonathan maintains good relations with Rolling Loud regardless of what transpired at the festival. “It’s all love with Rolling Loud, ” he told Full Send Podcast. “When everything was going on with Rolling Loud I still went on like a tour with them and everything.”
Commercial
Here’s a fun fact: DaBaby told Full Send Podcast that he was developing his own meal at Burger King, the Jonathan Kirk Meal. Unfortunately, he shot an advertisement for it, but it never made it to television due to the controversy surrounding him at the time. Because the meal would contain natural, unprocessed ingredients, Burger King intended to use his government name instead of his stage name.
Even though DaBaby has been involved in a great deal of drama during his career, he explained in the podcast at the 40:50 mark that he is not an aggressive individual. Contrary to what the media portrays. Also, FMHipHop reports that the rapper has exhibited a kindly disposition. It explains why we have not heard of any recent drama involving him.
