AceShowbiz - Many people might get Lil Baby and fellow rapper DaBaby mixed up since they have similar stage names. Lil Baby recently discussed the matter in a new interview with Joe Budden, revealing that a lot of people had tried to make him see that as something provoking.
"I ain't gon' lie, so many n****s tried to go that way with me, but I always curved it from day one. Like, hell naw," Lil Baby explained to Joe on "The Pull Up with Joe Budden" when the latter asked if anyone in his team tried to position him and DaBaby against each other. "A n***a will be like, 'He tried to say this' and I'll be like, 'No.' Every time, I made sure it wasn't going to be nothing."
Additionally, Lil Baby shared that he even saw DaBaby promoting himself as a rapper at SXSW before he started taking music seriously. "I seen him at South by Southwest before I really started rapping with a diaper on like on some baby s**t," Lil Baby said.
"Even though my name was Baby from like hustling before rap. I actually seen him. I got a song with him for a feature before he got hot. ... He don't sound like me. He don't kick my swag. His name just 'DaBaby'," he continued, before revealing that they collaborated on a song before DaBaby rose to fame.
The pair recently reunited on "Baby" off 2019's "Control the Streets Vol. 2". Both of them also recently appeared on Future and Drake's "Life Is Good (Remix)".
That aside, Lil Baby lately made headlines for his drama with girlfriend Jayda Ayanna or Jayda Cheaves, who is currently feuding with Alexis Skyy. The rapper previously sparked split rumors between him and Jayda, though he set the record straight during his appearance on "My Turn" on Friday, February 28.
When asked if he and Jayda are still together, he responded with an affirmative "yes," before explaining their relationship, "It ain't know 'still together.' She's like, my son's mama. It ain't no way we cannot be together. Even if we ain't in a relationship, like boyfriend and girlfriend type s**t."
