don't you have seven degrees of separation with dababy? You said he ain't as tough or hangs around tough people.
Dude has been a national, then now international, celebrity for 3 years now. That's a part of who he is and his lifestyle and helps transform you as a person, for better or for worse. So more exposure to this different kind of lifestyle has heightened who he already was but also cloaked other aspects of his personality that aren't as visible to the public, and he's hence been introduced to things, people, and places he previously didn't have access to...
Yes, there's a seven degrees of separation between me and his existence before the superstardom, which really came after the Walmart shooting...
I was out in Charlotte when he started buzzing locally, and his local buzz was from music, not the streets. He doesn't have a notable or reputable street background, and anyone who says he does is instantly outed as someone who wasn't in that lifestyle in The QC during the time Baby allegedly was...
His background was basically a weed dealer with his brother out in the northern burbs of Charlotte and Cabarrus. No one had anything bad to say about dude because there are no accounts of home being in any real beefs or being in any hot areas in the city. He didn't always rap with the Super Gangster image, and when he started that cats were asking where he was doing all this sniping at; for the longest no one knew exactly where in the city fam was from...
Dudes weren't pressed because he wasn't going on wax dissing nikkas directly or specifically, or false claiming hoods, or anything like that. But just like in any city, the cats in that life understand that if you're also part of it somebody knows who you are...
I knew someone who'd seen him get down at a party once, a 1v1 fair one, and they said he won. So yeah the perception was that fam could throw down if needed, and there are also no accounts of dudes bytching him out, but again there are also no accounts of him being in any activities like that. The prevailing thought is if any of that shooter shyt is true it happened in Cabarrus, and even then nikkas know people from there so it ain't like he was Monster Kody out there terrorizing nikkas----->but if he ever got in any of that type of shyt it would had to have happened out there. Homie has no reputation as a shooter in Charlotte...
He was a mid-level hustler who made some decent change selling weed in the suburbs. Well-liked, the aggressive and disrespectful image he flaunts in his music, no one was ever directed by him or him coming at someone on that kinda time, so the city has always fukked with him. And his style was unique for the time he started popping in Charlotte, music was good and his style and team gave the city a national platform...
And it's an open secret in Charlotte that he beat on his exes...
I'm sure he met or knew/knows or is/was around some guys who are really stamped. He was never known as one of them though...
