the baby has slowly become the internet's most hated rapper what did he do to earn this title well his actions range from insulting fans to getting angry at flight attendants however the very first thing that began to turn to baby's audience against him was the time he'd get into a beef with kids YouTuber JoJo siwa the argument began after the baby would post a song titled beatbox freestyle in which he'd hold up a photo of Jojo siwa and call her a bunch of nasty names the snipper was instantly shared to Twitter where it gained over
a million views on 42 000 likes on a post reading what TF did JoJo siwa do that made the baby mad like that while some joked about the baby calling her out over a heightened security most will simply baffled that debated would Target a kid's YouTuber she's literally a child kinda out of line to be honest yo that is funny AF he really came for a whole kid which accompanied a post by James Charles reading can someone please explain why the baby is dissing JoJo siwa when she's 12 years younger 10 times richer and 2
inches taller than him now the baby had absolutely no business in responding to these comments as they weren't really criticism a lot of the responses were supportive such as I don't think he meant nothing of it probably just needed something to say and the others were simply surprised that the baby went there which is literally how the baby described his own branding I'm gonna say I can't believe he said it however despite also stating that he wasn't the type of guy to respond to things online when you see it outside of music and I'm expected
to respond and clear it up without using music that ain't what I do it'd still take to Twitter to squash the drama in a post reading at its JoJo siwa my three-year-old princess is your number one fan I bought her every product you have out she thinks she you don't let him trick you into thinking I'd ever have a problem with you my wordplay just went over their heads all love on my and shorty keep shining now the baby's response was actually pretty decent but since he never needed to respond in the first place all
they did was show everyone that he was paying attention to the drama and was unable to stay silent if he was criticized too heavily in the lead up to this tweet the baby had established a reputation as a kind of hardcore gangster rapper and to be on Twitter justifying where you made a diss on a kids YouTuber felt kind of inauthentic To His Image the baby stated in an interview that he's doing his own thing and is not really caught up in any of the internet drama I'm just doing me like I'm not even really
caught up in what I got going on yet in a different interview he contradicts this by stating that he's willing to change his opinions if the internet criticism becomes too harsh it is about how much you value others opinions on the Internet or just you know people's opinion around you I don't value it until they get to messing with my money you know what I'm saying okay cool you know now now you probably need to take that you know make some adjustments well this is certainly a more mature approach maturity is rarely what people are
looking for in music and entertainment I could be wrong about this but it often feels as though the personality of the person making the music is just as important as the music itself and when it comes to hardcore rap people want to follow the completely Unapologetic gangster as opposed to the person who's known for responding to criticism on Twitter this point Fades perfectly into his response to the rolling loud controversy which happened only four months after the incident with JoJo siwa whilst on stage the baby would imply that people with HIV weren't welcome at shows
and since the event was being streamed online the internet began to discuss the comments immediately now as mentioned in other videos if the baby had simply stayed silent on the criticism the problem would have disappeared however just like the JoJo siwa controversy he felt the need to clarify his position with a public statement I'm addressed this one time I'ma get back to giving my love to my fans that's what I'm saying because with me and my fans do at the live show it don't concern you it's not your business what I do at a live
show is for the audience at the live show it'll never translate correctly to somebody looking at a little five six second clip on their phone it just don't work like that this Instagram live stream only led to more people discovering what he had said and surely thereafter celebrities such as Elton John Madonna and Dua Lipa were stating on Instagram that they were surprised and horrified at the baby's comments the baby stated that he wasn't worried at any point during the rolling loud controversy were you kind of scared like how everyone was like [ __ ]
like that no I wasn't scared that was probably my problem however this is a complete contradiction to his actions because I if he wasn't scared he wouldn't feel the need to take to Twitter and apologize which is what he would do after the Instagram live stream I want to apologize to the lgbtq plus Community for the hurtful and triggering comments I made again I apologize for my misinformed comments about HIV slash AIDS and I know education on this is important going back to the problem of authenticity the baby would go on to state that he
didn't even agree with his own apology even though you know I don't I don't agree with it you feel me like you know if if this the example got to be made of this what God want me to go through him for whatever reason let's do it I'm with and then he only put it out because at a certain level you have to move in a different way you'll get the certain levels in it you know you got to make adjustments you know what I'm saying and move a certain way it's simple you know ironically
he's talking to Charlemagne who wrote a book on how living an authentic life is the quickest part to success which is something that the baby himself highlighted as the reason behind why he's being so successful What Makes You Different I'm saying like I'm just me yeah going back on his own statements and posting insincere apologies was the office opposite to being his authentic brutal rapper image as a rapper somebody who can speak freely and I'm not one to do all that hard work day in day out make all these sacrifices get there just to be
controlled like a puppet you know what I'm saying like that ain't hard get out now it didn't seem like the baby actually had any problems with the people he called out anybody from the lgbtq community any of that but I am not tripping on you I ain't never had an issue with none of y'all it wasn't directed to no group of people in particular or nothing like that like it really ain't that deep at all to me however because he blew the whole thing up with a bunch of his own social media attention the brands
he was working with began to drop him one by one fashion brand boohoo publicly ended their relationship with him Lola palooza dropped him from the lineup on the very last day of the festival citing their founding values of diversity inclusivity respect and love the governor's bore Music Festival set to take place in September announced that the baby would not be performing as part of their lineup UK Event Park life cut him from the roster though the rapper's team claims that the decision was made months before rolling loud the team behind day night Vegas replaced his
at least with that of Roddy Rich even the working family's party quickly removed him from the list of celebrity performers and on the full send podcast the baby explained that he was set to release his own meal at Burger King which was also canceled as a result of the controversy I have my own meal at Burger King a lot of people don't know that it was called the Jonathan curtainville they want to use my name I shot a commercial for it and everything they had my name on the box everything no no no that's when
all the controversy in a different interview the baby gave a dollar figure for how much his comments had cost him I had 30 million dollars worth of shows on the schedule before December 31st often about my private plane but it is what it is a go ahead go you know God ain't want me to have a plane hold on yeah just chill and while the baby clearly took the loss in a very respectable manner this seemingly did little to repair his reputation as after being invited back to Rolling loud six months later the crowd threw
drinks at him however the worst part about the controversy was from that point onwards the baby was berated on Twitter for almost anything he do for example people brought up the time where he'd attack a fan at a club for putting a flashlight in his face resulting in another apology video I do sincerely apologize keep in mind I couldn't see you accompanying another bizarre clip of him being rejected whilst trying to kiss a fan which also warranted some kind of strange Instagram response to the event and he just can't make a mistake after mistake after
mistake after mistake after mistake there was also the time where he'd make what seemed to be a satirical tweet stating that he was voting for Kanye which warranted responses such as waste I can't believe you're even promoting this baby you got too big of a platform to be tweeting this nonsense bruh you're not even eligible to vote which accompanied a different more recent video where he'd get angry at a flight attendant for not combing her hair straight up they died you go home the least you could do this is probably part of the reason why
the baby believes that social media can become a negative thing once you reach a certain size but at some point I think like it may be safer for you not to use it as much because you can become Overexposed but the real question is how has this affected the performance of his music well his latest album released in September 2022 which was titled baby on baby 2 sold only 16 000 units in its first week which is 87 less than baby on baby one which sold 124 000 units in its first week the music video
for one of the songs on his new album titled Boogeyman features five different people one of which being an obviously gay person and throughout the video everyone is killed besides the gay guy before the baby daps him up at the end says I ain't got a problem with you and once again apologizes for the rolling loud comments the whole thing just feels extremely performative and insincere with this clear attempt at avoiding controversy only resulting in more controversy because alongside his new album's poor release the baby announced that he had to cancel one of his shows
after selling only 500 tickets to a venue which seeded fourteen thousand going to a baby concert because I need some alone time and I know no one else will be there if I put all my followers in a room and sang a little song to them then I'd have a more successful concert than the baby the baby concert was lit however to the baby's credit he's taking his setbacks quite humbly having replied to his lower album sales by stating not bad for the Blackboard baby there are a lot of people who have covered in the
past that are clearly deserving of their poor reputations but you could argue that the baby isn't really one of them he's a hard worker with a library of incredibly well made music yet he's been unable to keep his mouth closed on controversial topics which only compounds when you compromise your integrity and change your personality to suit whatever the audience wants you to be
