DaBaby Makes Threats Over Painting Of Daughters, Artist Reacts

DaBaby doesn’t play about his babies! Over the weekend, a video surfaced of the rapper approaching a Dallas nightclub during his ‘Be More Grateful’ tour. He stopped to glance at a portrait of his daughters, then walked away without accepting it or acknowledging the artist, Bruce White Jr. (@bwhitecreations). That moment sparked so much conversation that the rapper ultimately addressed it, saying he’s not impressed with “grown men” doing anything related to his daughters. Then, Baby circled to the artist’s comment section to drop STRONG warnings about continuing to promote the portrait. Here’s everything that happened leading up to and after that point!

DaBaby Explains Why He Rejected Painting Of His Daughters, Sends “Father First” Warnings 

After the internet flooded DaBaby with mentions of the fan’s painting, he hopped on video to share his energy behind the rejection. He said the topic was starting to work his nerves, and explained the type of father he is and isn’t.

 “…I’m not into grown a*s men discussing my daughters, painting pictures of my daughters, taking pictures of my kids. I don’t play like that. If you play like that, to each its own. Send that n***a a picture of your daughters, let that n***a paint them and then show him some appreciation.”

Additionally, Baby clarified that he wouldn’t accept a painting of his kids outside a nightclub. Furthermore, he said if anyone is bothered by how he protects his kids, that’s not his concern.

DaBaby’s video appears to be a direct response to Bruce’s POV video, which is no longer on his Instagram page. However, the POV clip (swipe below to see) shows Bruce with the painting in his house, saying he doesn’t understand what was “wrong” with it.

After DaBaby’s first response, it appears Bruce didn’t remove the POV video and/or other videos featuring the painting of the rapper’s daughters. According to a screenshot shared by The Shade Room, Baby stopped by the @bwhitecreations’ comment section with some direct warnings. He reminded the artist that he’s a father first and rapper second!

“You still got my daughters on yo page as a grown ma after I made it clear I ain’t comfortable with that. Steady playing for this online attention. So when God put me back in front of you ima show you how serious I am about my daughters,” DaBaby wrote. “Best advice I can give you, get my children off yo page & keep doing what you gifted at doing. Using my kids ain’t the route to go if you wanna go viral, that’s the route to go if you wanna get hurt. This a father talking, not a rapper.”

Artist Sets The Record Straight, Rapper Reacts

Sometime on Sunday (April 5), the content featuring DaBaby’s daughters was removed from @bwhitecreations’ IG page. Also, Bruce (B. White) shared a video clearing the air, sharing his perspective of the portrait. He explained that he moved to Dallas about three years ago to pursue art. One of his industry peers recommended he feature celebs’ loved ones in his artwork to be more attention-grabbing. That’s been his style for the last two years or so, Bruce explained.

A few hours after Bruce shared his message, DaBaby hopped in the comment section. He ultimately thanked him for complying with his removal request. However, he also clarified his energy and shared his disagreement with some of the video.

“I see the picture finally down that’s all I wanted my boy, it’s all good. I know first hand how judgement can get clouded when that attention come pouring in, so I appreciate you for straightening that shit out. I just wanted my babies off the page & detached from anything negative. Everything else niggas talking bout for the birds! I ain’t think you meant no harm in painting the picture, I just ain’t like how the viral moment led you to believe it was cool to double back and post them on your page feeding into the situation after I reached out privately to the nigga that walked you over to me and I commented and told you how I felt & asked you to take it down & you didn’t. I ain’t got no ill will for ya bruh I’m just serious bout my lil girls and I’d give you & any other parent the same respect with no hesitation. Ion like a lot of lil shit you said in this video but I understand you defending your character as you should, cause as you can see this internet don’t got no picks and chooses. So I’m responding with grace and understanding my n***a. Keep doing what you doing!”
