US rapper DaBaby event organizers thought that South Africans would reign praises when they announced that US rapper Da Baby would be headlining the Empower Africa Concert on September 30 in the country.
Ridiculously, it came as a shock when what they got instead was public troll on the Grammy-nominated ‘Suge’ star for having the audacity to host a concert at the country’s biggest stadium.
With all the concerts taking place in September and October, many viewed DaBaby as an unappealing choice. Worse still, the initial announcement was made on Women’s Day, which is baffling considering the 31-year-old’s history of controversy with women.
During the US rapper’s Up Close N Personal tour in 2020, DaBaby infamously slapped a female fan in Florida on his way to the stage for a performance.
In his half-hearted apology, he claimed to not have noticed it was a woman before adding, “I think by this time, you know it’s a well-known fact that male or female, I would’ve responded the same exact way.”
DaBaby also had numerous public spats with ex girlfriend DaniLeigh.
Popular media presenter, Sizwe Dhlomo was one of the first influential accounts to respond to the news. “Da Baby? FNB Stadium? Lol!”
“He failed to fill up in his own country ,” commented @hermainem.
Another tweep added that he should be a supporting act for Burna Boy, who’s performing at the stadium a week prior. “Like how many songs does he have, he must move it to 23rd to be a supporting act for Burna boy.”

Da Baby wants to fill up FNB stadium NEXT month and tickets only went on sale like last week, starting at R500 “ added @_bigsexy. “Someone must’ve lied to him about his fanbase here. I have never seen a concert that would obviously not happen more than this one.”
@obviouslylees sees this as a big flop. “Da Baby couldn’t even fill up the waiting area at Lanseria so idk what he thinks he’s gonna do at FNB Stadium.”
