DaBaby stands at five feet eight inches tall. In September 2019 pictures showed his being dwarfed by 6ft 9inch bodyguard Kane Kong.
DaBaby’s real name is Jonathan Lyndale Kirk. He was born on December 22, 1991, in Cleveland, Ohio.
He was formerly known professionally as Baby Jesus but, according to Cheat Sheet, changed it as he thought it was “too politically controversial” and “didn’t fit in with the hip hop industry”.
He was nominated for six Grammy awards in 2021 and also won a BET Hip Hop Award, a Billboard Music Award, and three ASCAP Rhythm & Soul Music Awards, among others.
In May 2021, DaBaby became the most-streamed rapper per month on Spotify, overtaking the likes of Drake and Kanye West.
In 2020, DaBaby was arrested for battery in Miami Beach after punching his promoter in the face.
He was issued no bond but had a warrant and was ordered to avoid Brickell’s Novatel Hotel and the promoter.
