DaBaby is once again involved in some drama, and this time, he’s being accused of running off with $20K that was allegedly given to him by a YouTuber.

Per available detail, the saga unfolded when content creator Micheal Wright (LamikeJr) shared snippets from the set on various social media platforms, capturing DaBaby walking away and engaging in what seemed like a heated exchange with the YouTuber.

LamikeJr explained, “| LOST 20k TODAY ? ? % . @dababy RAN OF WITH 20K I PAID HIM FOR A VIDEO. I DID EVERYTHING I WAS SUPPOSED TO DO PLEASE DONT SCAM ME BRO THIS IS MY LIVELIHOOD. THIS WAS SUPPOSED TO BE MY BLOW UP VIDEO. MY WAY OUT. HOW IM POSED TO MAKE IT OUT IF I LOSE ALL MY VIDEOS?? IM 19 BRU PLEASE GOD WHY DOES EVERYTHING HAVE TO GO BAD. I DONT EVEN HAVE A FULL VIDEO I SPENT MY LAST ON THAT & THIS HAPPENS??” 

He also claimed his grandmother contributed to the $20K to make this all happen.

DaBaby has since responded to these claims and didn’t deny walking off set.

He reportedly hinted that there were other reasons for acting the way he did. While sharing that he plans to give the $20K to each woman that was allegedly set up to get publicly embarrassed.

DaBaby also accused LamikeJr of lying to his grandmother, who he claims gave him $10K to help him pay for his appearance.

In a follow-up IG Story post, DaBaby added that the matter has come to an end and there is nothing more to say.

Clearly still upset and emotional, LamikeJr quickly responded to DaBaby, saying he was making fun of his content, and that is not the best, as he looked up to the musician.
