how many fish did dabbaby catch yeye

Answer 1

Answer:

thing they never tell you about being a celebrity is that it’s impossible to just be. There’s always a chance you’ll get recognized by someone, somewhere, and if that happens, there’s no other option than to stop acting like yourself and start acting like the person people think you are — or, frequently, the person that you want people to think you are. This struck me on a Monday afternoon in Charlotte, North Carolina earlier this year, as I stood outside a community center watching the rapper DaBaby trying to prevent a crowd of children from seeing that he was holding a lit blunt. While taking a smoke break on the set of a music video for his artist Rich Dunk’s song “High School” that DaBaby was co-directing, the kids at a nearby elementary school had started lining up outside to take the bus home only to take notice of this massively popular local rapper mere yards away from them.

Dutifully, DaBaby held the blunt behind his back, smiling and waving at the kids as they were screaming and crying and oh-my-God-it’s-DABABYYYYYY-ing, working themselves into a chaotic, youth-sized frenzy. I worried that there was a distinct, perhaps inevitable, possibility that they wouldn’t be able to contain themselves, and run en masse over to DaBaby to give him hugs or ask for his autograph or do whatever else it is that eight-year-olds do these days. And if this happened, the blunt would have nowhere to hide.

To be clear: DaBaby, whose given name is Jonathan Kirk, did not want to poison the minds of Charlotte’s children by having them see him smoke weed, and he definitely did not want them, or the adults minding them, to smell it. So he smiled, sheepishly, and tried to be enthusiastic enough with his free hand so that the kids would focus on that one and not the one behind his back. Before all hell had a chance to break loose, the bus came and the kids hopped on, passing the 27-year-old rapper close enough for one last goodbye. When I asked him how often incidents such as this one happen, he told me, “All the time, man.”

Over the past year or so, DaBaby has ridden a stunning wave of momentum from local prominence to national renown. At the beginning of the year, he did not have a record deal; in October, his album Kirk — his second for Interscope, which signed him in February — debuted at number one, causing literally every song from the record to enter the Billboard Hot 100 chart simultaneously. He’s made hits with Megan Thee Stallion, J. Cole, Chance the Rapper, and Nicki Minaj, and has done remixes for mainstream stars such as Lizzo and Lil Nas X. A couple months after I spent the day with him in Charlotte, he was the musical guest on Saturday Night Live, rapping while performing choreographed dance routines and appearing in a sketch alongside host Jennifer Lopez. Next year, he’ll be hitting the festival circuit — he’s playing the Bud Light Super Bowl Festival in Miami alongside Guns ‘N’ Roses and DJ Khaled, as well as the Dutch festival Woo Hah and Dublin’s Longitude Festival — and his hit single “Suge” will be up for a pair of Grammy Awards.
