DaBaby gave one of wildest lyrics in the freestyle “Beatbox” remix, name-dropping JoJo Siwa. Yeah, that JoJo Siwa. The line’s “You a bitch, JoJo Siwa, bitch.” Now, that might sound like a diss, but as ET mentioned, it’s likely DaBaby was just doing some clever wordplay, using JoJo Siwa’s name to say “[Even] Jojo see why [Siwa] you a bitch.”
It was obviously not meant to be a real diss, because that’d be absolutely ridiculous. But given the awkward timing of the track with Siwa very recently coming out to the public, it was very confusing. Not to mention that Siwa is a teenage girl who is famous for making content for children. So given the bizarre name-drop, the track trended on Twitter over the weekend and has already become a meme. Siwa didn’t directly address the song, but liked a tweet by influencer Amanda Cerny that says “boss” bitch* @itsjojosiwa.”
Well, any hope for JoJo Siwa and DaBaby to be the Drake/Pusha-T of 2021 is squashed. Turns out DaBaby’s diss was out of love.
After facing the nonstop wrath of her super fans, DaBaby tweeted at Siwa, clarifying the whole thing: “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 shining!”
So, no, JoJo Siwa is not a bitch. But DaBaby can see why you’re a bitch. Got it?

Yeah I don’t believe that for a second. I think he just felt like taking a swipe at a young gay girl for daring to be unconventional and not interested in men.
Your take makes no sense.
Does too
No one asked or cares what you think
As long as it makes sense in recognitions’ head, that’s all that counts. Fortunate that, because that’s often the only place recognitions’ posts make sense.
I think I just switched over to the “voluntary human extinction” camp
Oh, see, he was just calling someone ELSE a bitch, so it’s…okay?
Going to learn who both of these people are as soon as I figure out how to open up a new browser window and do a google.
Ok but that’s also a fucking terrible line.
but don’t the best jokes and rap burns require protracted consideration?
Yes, but this one is objectively bad.
(I was being like an iron)
As far as mainstream rappers go, DaBaby and (not mentioned, but fuck it) Blueface are by far the worst in every aspect of their music. Lyrics suck, flow sucks, beats suck. I can’t stand them so I’m not surprised by this.
So weird that this wasn’t Eminem
Complete with an ever so fresh Ren & Stimpy reference. Eminem has his finger on the pulse, you know?
These are all words … …. ….maybe.
Dab Aby
wat
To paraphrase Lucille Bluth: I don’t understand what any of these words mean and I won’t respond to them.
So anytime you are accused of saying malicious things that were recorded on video and audio you can just respond with, “Word play, motherfuckers!”
Yea its a lazy bar hes rhyming her name with the line before that ended in “see why”. Took me half a second to get what he meant b4 I started booing that wack bar. Hes clearly not trying to beef with her.
