Man Who Was Ignored by DaBaby Says He Is Not a Fan of Him, He Just Wanted to Show Love After His Music Helped Him Through Prison

PH Live, Times Square. First clip: come here, congratulations, I just came home four years ago, I’m like that. DaBaby does not take the hand. Comments split on manners versus status.

Second clip: the same man, not in the doorway. He says he was never a stan. He wanted to show love because the music helped him through the bid. No Jumper pushed that cut. The replies flipped from “he summoned a stranger” to “he was saying thank you.”

Both things can sit in one sidewalk. A greeting that starts with “come here” will read as a check even if the next sentence is gratitude. A man who used those songs as hours in a box will read a blank stare as a second sentence. Neither of them owed the other a documentary. The cameras made one anyway.

DaBaby has done this walk a hundred times. Security, rope, SUV, red carpet for 50’s room. You cannot audit every backstory at the curb. You can nod. He did not. That is the part that still looks cold on the first video no matter what the follow-up says.

Prison-to-artist thank-yous are a real genre. They fail in public when the artist does not know the chapter. They fail louder when the person saying thank you sounds like he is calling someone off the porch. The internet picked a moral. The two men picked two different nights.

The new still is white linen, cigar, shades, deck chairs — a different posture than the green-cap curb shot. The story is the same thirty seconds plus an interview. Music helped. The dap did not happen. He says he was not a fan. He still wanted the second. That is the revision. The original tape did not get rewritten. It just got a caption.
