“Can someone please explain why DaBaby is dissing JoJo Siwa when she’s 12 years younger, 10 times richer, and 2 inches taller than him?” tweeted James Charles.
Rapper DaBaby caught some major heat online this past weekend after name dropping JoJo Siwa on his new track “Beatbox Freestyle,” which many fans of the 17-year-old dancer speculated was a diss.
However, DaBaby took to Twitter to set the record straight: “@itsjojosiwa my 3 year old princess is your number 1 fan. I bought her every product you have out. She think she you.”
“Don’t let em trick you into thinking I’d ever have a problem with you. My word play just went over their heads. All love on my end shawty, Keep shinning💖,” the 29-year-old wrote.

“Turn me up, n—- gon’ see why/N—-, you a b—-, JoJo Siwa,” read the lyrics from DaBaby’s “Beatbox Freestyle,” that landed the rapper in some hot water online after its Feb. 19, release.
The “Rockstar” musician noted it was just a fun play on words, while many followers and supportive friends of the tween superstar called DaBaby out for his apparent poor choice of words.
