DaBaby Vows to Give Up Alcohol: ‘I’m Going to be Sober’
DaBaby is going the sober route. On Sunday night (Dec. 3), the mercurial rapper voiced his decision to put down the bottle during a PSA on Instagram.
“It’s official, bruh. I don’t drink no more,” he said. “I got my appearances. Don’t try to give me no bottles, don’t try to offer me no shot, don’t do none of that. You offer me a drink from this point forward, I’m stealing the f–k out. It’s a simple as that. We gone get to hitting immediately. So, you better not be drunk ’cause I’m going to be sober. I’m stealing off sober.”
According to Baby, his decision emanates from picking up his child and vomiting in her presence.
“Context, I go pick my baby up,” DaBaby explained. “I’m throwing up on 77. She beside me in her car seat talking ’bout some ‘Good job.’ I’m fighting for my life in that back seat and my baby talking about, ‘Good job. Man, it’s embarrassing in front of my baby. I don’t drink no more.”
Baby has recently been reflective, most notably on his infamous 2021 Rolling Loud incident. During an interview with NFL Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe on his Club Shay Shay podcast, he candidly spoke about his inflammatory comments about the LGBTQ community. “Where would I be mentally and spiritually if I wasn’t forced to sit my ass down and self-reflect? I still didn’t even sit down when it first happened, I was still fighting it and fighting it and fighting it. ‘Hell nah, that ain’t what it is. That ain’t what it is,’” DaBaby said.
DaBaby has repeatedly said he left $200 million on the table because of his offensive commentary but remained adamant about not regretting his past.
“I don’t regret anything that I done been through,” he said. “It feels so good to be able to say that and mean it. I done probably said that before but I ain’t really mean it.”
