Rapper DaBaby Is Under Fire For Calling 17 Year Old "Youtuber" Jojo Siwa A Bitch
ET - DaBaby released a new track recently, and one line drew a lot of backlash from fans. In the freestyle "Beatbox" remix, which he dropped on Friday, it seems that he takes a strong swing at 17-year-old YouTube star JoJo Siwa.
The line in question comes when DaBaby raps, "You a bitch, JoJo Siwa, bitch," while he holds up a photo of Siwa on his phone.
The diss left many fans legitimately confused over why he would swing at a teen internet star, and angry for doing so.
Despite the backlash, DaBaby seemed to find the outrage funny, and took to Twitter to explain that the line wasn't meant as a diss, but was simply a play on words. DaBaby's real name is Jonathan (hence "JoJo") and he used Siwa as a twist on "See why."
"😂😂😂😂 I love Twitter bruh," DaBaby tweeted as the uproar was in full swing. He later added, "I 'Siwa' I’m not like the rest of you n***as .😂😂😂"

He also tweeted directly at Siwa, and explained that he meant no disrespect and that his daughter is a huge fan.
However, that didn't stop many fans from expressing their outrage over what they felt was an attack on the young entertainer.
Twitter users expressed their shock, confusion and disappointment with some very creative posts of their own.
Remember the Biggie and Tupac beef? Jay-Z and Nas? Eminem and Benzino? 50 Cent and Ja Rule? LL Cool J and Canibus?
Can you imagine any of the above-mentioned names "beefing" with a 17-year-old former "Dance Moms" star and youtube personality?
Here's the song-
Here's the lyrics-
"Got a big .45 on decock
Usin' big words like I'm T.I.
Don't wanna get me started, na
Turn me up, nas gon' see why
N*a, you a bitch, JoJo Siwa (Bitch)"
And here is the "bitch" (DaBaby's words not mine) in question -

12 million youtube followers made my mouth literally drop.
Since we're all in the Jack Burns circle of trust, I'm not gonna lie to you guys. This isn't a sculpture I found in Greg's pocket, and I actually did know who Jojo Siwa was before reading this story…
She came to Wrigley a couple of years ago and threw out the first pitch and sang the stretch dressed like Elton John.
I asked my fellow production staff what her story was and why she was important enough to get the honor and was quickly informed of her massive following. Guess she grew up a die-hard Cubs fan too which was pretty cool.
All in all, I think we can all agree she seems like a nice girl.
Unless you're DaBaby.
And I know he tried to cover it up claiming his 3-year-old daughter is obsessed with her but give me a break DaBaby. If I know anything about anything, its that a guy who raps about

Brand new Lamborghini, fuck a cop car
With the pistol on my hip like I'm a cop (yeah, yeah, yeah)
Have you ever met a real nigga rockstar?
This ain't no guitar, bitch, this a Glock (woo)
My Glock told me to promise you gon' squeeze me (woo)
You better let me go the day you need me (woo)
Soon as you up me on that nia, get to bustin' (woo)
And if I ain't enough, go get the chop
Isn't in the business of watching Jojo videos with his daughter on Youtube.
And that's coming from a fan of his music.
So take the twitter beating like a man DaBaby and watch what you say about Abby Lee Miller's crew. You don't want it with her.
