Does DaBaby have beef with JoJo Siwa?
The rapper is causing confusion with his latest freestyle, on which he seems to take aim at the 17-year-old YouTube star. Over SpotemGottem’s viral hit “Beatbox,” which inspired the Junebug Challenge, the “Rockstar” hitmaker uses JoJo’s name while equating his enemy to a bitch.
“Turn me up, ni**as gon’ see why / Ni**a, you a bitch, JoJo Siwa,” he raps while holding up a picture of JoJo on his phone as the camera zooms in.
JoJo’s name started trending as fans laughed over the possibility of a feud between the rapper and teen actress. Social media weighed in with memes and jokes clowning DaBaby, who is the father to two young daughters.
“Jojo Siwa on her way to stomp on DaBaby’s ass,” tweeted one person alongside a photo of JoJo behind the wheel of her car, while others noted their height difference.
Neither DaBaby nor JoJo has addressed the lyric in question. The “Dance Moms” alum recently made headlines after coming out as gay in a series of social media posts.
