DaBaby is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter. He went viral in 2019 following his debut album Baby on Baby, which included the hit single Suge. The album peaked at number seven on the Billboard 200 chart, and Suge at number 10 on the Billboard Hot 100.
DaBaby’s follow-up album, Kirk, debuted at number one and featured the popular track Bop, which garnered nearly 500 million views on YouTube.
With such a successful career, it’s only natural to wonder about DaBaby’s net worth. Here’s what we know.

Brand Endorsements
Alongside music-related income, DaBaby earns a respectable amount through brand endorsements.
BoohooMAN was among his longer-running partnerships, releasing a 100-piece DaBaby-inspired capsule collection in June 2021. The 100-piece summer release included cardigans, basketball shorts, jackets, and sweaters. Products sold between $8 to $80.
What Happened In the Rolling Loud Performance In 2021?
In 2021, the rapper faced major backlash following his hurtful remarks about HIV/AIDs during his performance at the Rolling Loud music festival.

He asked the audience to raise their cell phone lights if they “didn’t show up today with HIV/AIDs, or any of them deadly sexually transmitted diseases that will make you die in two to three weeks.” He then made further crude comments about sexual activities involving gay men.
DaBaby’s comments resulted in him being labeled as homophobic, with celebrities and activists criticizing him for perpetuating stigma and misinformation surrounding HIV/AIDS.
Boohooman, DaBaby’s most involved endorsement, dropped him following his homophobic remarks. “Boohoo condemns the use of homophobic language,” BoohooMan said in an Instagram post. “We stand by and support the LGBTQ+ community and do not tolerate hate speech in any form.”
DaBaby also lost an endorsement deal with Burger King due to the backlash. “I shot a commercial for it and everything,” DaBaby revealed during a 2022 interview on the Full Send Podcast.
DaBaby continues to receive the occasional endorsement, but most major companies hesitate to associate with him due to the fallout from his controversial statements.
DaBaby Allegedly Lost $100 Million Following the Contravesty
“I played myself out of millions,” DaBaby said during an interview with Ebro in the Morning.

He was dropped from nearly every concert he was scheduled to perform, including the Governor’s Ball Music Festival in NYC, Music Midtown, Can’t Wait Live!, iHeartRadio Music Festival, and Day N Vegas, to name a few.
In total, he claims to have lost no less than $100 million from the incident.
At the time, DaBaby showed no remorse for his comments. On his Instagram Stories, he said that his words weren’t a rant but a “call to action,” stating that even his gay fans don’t have AIDS.
However, after losing millions, DaBaby later said that he “takes accountability for everything” and that “With great power, comes great responsibility.”
Personal Life
DaBaby has been romantically involved with several women with whom he has children.
Among these is MeMe, who he met through a mutual friend. MeMe works as a barber and is the mother of his eldest daughter, Serenity, born in 2017.
While dating MeMe, DaBaby was allegedly seeing interior designer Latoia Danet. Danet birthed his second child, Nova, in 2020.
DaBaby’s most public and well-known relationship was with Danielle Leigh Curiel, also known as DaniLeigh.

DaniLeigh is an American rapper, singer, and songwriter known for Easy (ft. Christ Brown), Lil Bebe, No Limits, and Dead To Me. DaniLeigh and DaBaby’s relationship was short-lived, as they broke up around a year after getting together.
DaniLeigh gave birth to DaBaby’s third and youngest daughter, Velour, in 2021.
Wrapping Up
As of 2024, DaBaby has a net worth of $5 million. The majority of his net worth comes from music streams, concerts, and album sales.
DaBaby’s net worth would’ve been a lot more if it wasn’t for the controversy that happened at the 2021 Rolling Hills Event in Miami.
After dropping several homophobic and insensitive comments, the rest of his 2021 and much of his 2022 tours were canceled. He also lost several hundred-thousand-dollar endorsements from companies like Boohooman and Burger King.
