DaBaby stopped by the SiriusXM studios this week to promote his new album ‘Better Than You’ on SiriusXM’s The Heat channel.
Talking to SiriusXM’s Mina Say What, DaBaby reflected on his personal growth over the last year.
Mina Say What: So, how have you feel like you’ve grown since your last performance on Rolling Loud?
DaBaby: I mean, I grow every day, you know what I’m saying? I grow every day, but, above all, you know, I’m just more knowledgeable about, you know, what I’m saying, the tolerance that the business I’m in, you know what I mean? Got for certain things, you see what I’m saying? You know, it’s a learning process, you know what I mean? We go from doing this and that. And then, well, I’m speaking myself, go from doing this to, you know what I’m saying? You know, being an artist, you know what I’m saying? 24/7 full time. Not only that, like, I, I was an artist at the highest level. Like I made it to the highest level of this shit. You know what I’m saying? So it’s like, you know, you get this adjustments that you gotta make, you know, just like becoming a grown ass man in life.
Mina Say What: In Neighborhood Superstar, you mentioned that you said ‘I’m still adjusting to the fame.’ You know, I’m still growing…
DaBaby: Every day trying to stay out the way, still adjusting the fame in this industry shit. Yeah, for sure.
Mina Say What: Yeah. So, you know, you’ve definitely adjusted in the last year.
DaBaby: Yeah. I, I had no choice. You know what I mean? I had no choice, you know what I’m saying? But that’s what I do. You know what I mean? I adapt, I adapt by all means under any circumstance, I adapt to whatever. Wherever I go, life is life.
Mina Say What: Do you have the need to respond or defend yourself, or do you have people telling you chill?
DaBaby: I mean, a lot of, a lot, of course, as a human, you know, of course, you know, I got the urge to defend myself every single time. You, I mean, cuz you don’t when it, when it’s, when it leans towards like personal shit when it’s bullshit or whatever, like shit that, you know, can’t get nowhere in there, like close to affecting the food that’s put on my, my daughter’s table or you know what I mean? Or the people around me or you know, businesses that I’m affiliated to. I really don’t. I can give two fucks about it, but like when it, you know, when it touch personal places, cuz that’s the shit I really do care about, you know what I’m saying? That’s when yeah, you gonna see me mother fucker gonna have to hold my tongue. You know what I’m saying? They gonna have to come snatch that mother fucker out of my mouth is gonna get like that. Cause I’m human. Right. You know what I’m saying? But other than that, you know what I mean? It really ain’t about nothing. That’s what come with the territory. Absolutely. Life is life.
