After Soulja Boy’s rant against comedian B. Simone, which included a swipe at DaBaby, the internet erupted. But DaBaby wasn’t about to stay silent.
Soulja Boy has been all over the internet lately, and not always for the best reasons. Recently, he went on a long rant during an Instagram live stream, taking shots at B. Simone. At the end of his rant, he threw in a comment about DaBaby, saying, “You’re mad because I turned you down […] I’m not DaBaby.”
DaBaby decided to respond on Instagram. He posted a now-famous still from Soulja Boy’s 2019 Breakfast Club interview—the “Draaaake?” meme. Fans quickly shared their thoughts on the exchange. One user commented, “Please don’t unthaw DaBaby. He was doing good and being unproblematic.” Another added, “Now Soulja, I don’t think you want beef wit that man. Him and 50 neck and neck wit petty.”
DaBaby has been keeping a low profile in 2024, releasing a few singles and freestyles but avoiding major controversy. His career has been on a recovery path after a rocky 2021. This new beef with Soulja Boy could bring him back into the spotlight, but it’s unclear if one meme is the end of DaBaby’s response.
Soulja Boy, meanwhile, has had an eventful few weeks. He criticized Drake for “disappointing” him in a battle with Kendrick Lamar. This was seen by fans as a publicity stunt for his upcoming album, set to release on July 28. In an unreleased song with Lil Yachty, previewed by Twitch streamer Kai Cenat, Drake seemingly responded to Soulja’s rant. Soulja even mentioned in his live stream that he couldn’t tell if Drake was dissing or showing love.
The internet is divided on how this new beef will unfold. Some believe DaBaby’s meme response will be the end of it, while others think this is just the beginning of a longer feud. Only time will tell if these two rappers can put this behind them or if more drama is on the horizon.
As fans keep their eyes peeled for any new developments, the interaction between DaBaby and Soulja Boy continues to stir the pot. Whether this will lead to a full-blown feud or fizzle out remains to be seen.
