I would like to fix/correct capitalization on lines 22 to to capitalize the first letter of the sentence. Tspangler (talk) 03:30, 22 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Which line are you referring to? Could you write out the start of it? I don't seem to see any capitalization problems. Volteer1 (talk) 06:53, 22 February 2021 (UTC)

Dababa (region of Chad)
Is it actually realistic that somebody could get DaBaby and Dababa confused? I get that their spellings are similar, but they aren't the same spelling and anybody searching for the article for the region of Chad would quickly realize that Dababy is not it. Is the link at the top actually warranted? It seems that the page for Dababa also had to be semi-protected. Probably because of vandals coming from Dababy's page.  Eric food  (talk &#124; contribs) 14:40, 29 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I personally don’t think it’s realistic for two reasons. One, the region in Chad is not that popular of a page (I honestly don’t even recall it even showing up when I typed “DaBab” into the search bar prior to the misspelling thing being added to the page) and two, the a and y keys are far enough apart where the possibility of a typo is low.  It looks like it’s causing more harm than good, honestly, since vandalism on Dababa has spiked in the recent month from people making DaBaby-related troll edits. I doubt these IPs would have previously heard of the region. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 15:14, 29 March 2021 (UTC)


 * Since you're in agreement, I'll remove it. I agree that currently, it's probably causing more harm than good.  Eric food  (talk &#124; contribs) 15:23, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Lil Baby as an associated act
WP:Associated acts states that "This field can include... Acts with which this act has collaborated on multiple occasions, or on an album, or toured with as a single collaboration act playing together". Lil Baby should be included as the two artists have collaborated six times. These songs include: I am aware leaks do not count for this section, but none of these are leaks so I do not understand why that keeps getting brought up. As for co-features, WP:Associated acts does not list such an exception. Even if it did, DaBaby is lead artist on two of these songs which still technically means they have multiple collaborations. I admit on that alone it is a bit of a stretch but consider the fact that these are not posse cuts in which the two artists happen to have been on the same track multiple times. All of these co-features only have DaBaby and Lil Baby as featured artists with the exception of "Life Is Good (Remix)", which also features Drake as he was on the original song. Given the amount of collaborations it is safe to say the two acts are associated. I am not arguing for adding "everyone he’s ever collaborated with" as that is not what WP:Associated acts says. I'm even fine with omitting acts that DaBaby has only collaborated with twice as that would be a lot of people. Six appearances together though? That is more than enough to be considered associated. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 17:37, 29 March 2021 (UTC)
 * "Baby Shower" (2019)
 * "Baby" (2019)
 * "Toes" (2019)
 * "Life Is Good (Remix)" (2020)
 * "Do Dat" (2020)
 * "For the Night" (2020)


 * Lil Baby should be considered an associated act. Even not including co-features, DaBaby is a lead artist in both "Baby" and "Toes". And Lil baby is a lead artist in the song "Baby Shower" which features DaBaby. Even if co-feautures are not included, which I don't see a reason for; they have still collaborated on a minimum of three songs together where one of them was the main artist. "Baby" especially is a significant song in which they are both main artists. I don't see how they aren't considered associated or significant to one another's career.

 * Why is this even a discussion? They are obviously associated acts. versacespace  talk to me  22:33, 29 March 2021 (UTC)


 * I only took it to the talk page because I would be violating the 3RR rule if I continued to have the discussion by reverting the edits. I'm honestly not sure if I can revert again despite the consensus.  If anyone else would like to readd Lil Baby, please do.  CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 23:06, 29 March 2021 (UTC)

Date of birth
I think we should weigh what the public records and Kirk say equally, so instead of the current born December 22, 1991, it should be born December 21 or 22, 1991 with the attached note. I would like to hear other people's opinions, though.  —Biscuit-in-Chief :-)  (/tɔːk/ – /ˈkɒntɹɪbs/) 20:48, 24 April 2021 (UTC)
 * People kept changing it to the 22nd before the Twitter source was added and technically I don’t think we’re even supposed to be citing public records. And as someone who briefly worked with public records, I can tell you those things are full of typos.  Not to mention the site isn’t even a .gov so there’s no guarantee it’s legit.

Meme
Are you going to include the memes about DaBaby turning into a car?--24.44.76.88 (talk) 14:50, 9 June 2021 (UTC)


 * I doubt it, unless a reliable source covered it. CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 17:48, 9 June 2021 (UTC)
 * Hey I'm not a contributor to this article at all, I just happened to stumble across this talk page while I was looking for DaBaby's recent controversy, but seeing this discussion I've decided to search for an RS that talks about DaMeme. From Google's News Tab in a search for "DaBaby" "convertible", I have found DaFollowing source:


 * : "A recent meme currently circulating the weirder corners of social media turned the North Carolina rapper’s head into an automobile"


 * There's some other websites but those seem like blogs, whereas Uproxx is reliable. Wetrorave (talk) 14:28, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Yeah Uproxx is reliable but I think DaReason DaMeme was removed from DaPage, since someone did source it, was because of a lack of lasting notability. Like, will this be relevant in five years.  I don’t know enough about Wikipedia’s guidelines on that kinda thing to say one way or DaOther.  CAMERAwMUSTACHE (talk) 15:15, 3 August 2021 (UTC)


 * , see WP:RECENTISM, in particular, WP:10YEARTEST. Also, Uproxx is not a reliable source for a WP:BLP, as it is clearly a WP:TERTIARY source. — Johnnie Bob (talk) 15:41, 3 August 2021 (UTC)

young life
When he was a kid he wanted to be a lawyer.but he started listening to Dababy,Lil Baby and A Reece. He got inspired and then started practicing rap and he started freestyle in tenth grade. He freestyled at school and maked a crowd and teacher thought there was a fight but it was boy baby. He went to a studio to realise his first song "new in the game"and he made 130 copy's.

"Homicide" versus "shooting"
, why do you want to change the heading to strike the word "shooting" and replace it with "homicide"? This change has been proposed in the past and reverted by different users, and other wording has been proposed. All of the sources refer to this as a "shooting". So you have a top-level heading that says "Legal problems and controversy" and right under that you have a second-level heading that says "Huntersville, North Carolina homicide". What conclusion do you think the reader will infer from these headings if he doesn't read any further? The word "homicide" does in fact convey the meaning that there was intent to kill. That's why there are different words (e.g., "manslaughter") and others that do not convey such meaning. Wikipedia is not like the news sources nowadays, we try to be neutral and not try to lead the reader to think one way or another. I will now revert your change a second time and I expect to see some discussion from you on this talk page before you change it back. Thank you, Johnnie Bob (talk) 21:40, 11 August 2021 (UTC)


 * Because it was a homicide. He killed someone whether he had the intent or not. Literally the second sentence on the page about homicide says that intent is irrelevant in the commission of a homicide and only requires that the act be volitional.


 * “A homicide requires only a volitional act that causes the death of another, and thus a homicide may result from accidental, reckless, or negligent acts even if there is no intent to cause harm.“


 * Even if the reader sees homicide and not shooting and doesn’t read further provides the reader with a clearer image of what happened, since homicide means that someone died while shooting on implies that, at the very least, a firearm was discharged. I don’t know why you think that the word “homicide” has some negative connotation to it because it doesn’t. It literally just means that someone died due to the actions of another, intent notwithstanding, not that DaBaby was a cold-blooded killer. Self-defense is literally a form of justifiable homicide. Just put your prejudiced opinion on the word homicide aside and stop sugar coating what happened. Whether it has been via stabbing or shooting or some other means a homicide occurred, and that was the story and what the situation was reported on for and is known for. No one cares that he shot a gun nor is it relevant to the section as all it talks about is that someone was killed and the legal proceedings against DaBaby due to the homicide he committed and how his charges were dropped due to it being ruled a justifiable homicide. Hell he wouldn’t have been convicted on concealed carry charges if it was not for the homicide and I don’t know about anybody who finds not having a CCW more important than a homicide committed by somebody of fame with that person openly acknowledging that they committed a homicide. Fluffy89502 (talk) 22:25, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * I prefer "shooting" in this case. Interestingly, the advice at WP:DEATHS for article titles (which subsection headers are not, to be clear) recommends "killing" in a case like this, "shooting" only for a case in which there was no death, "murder" when there's a conviction, and "homicide" never. You're correct that it really is true that homicide is a broad word that just means the killing of another person – accidentally, justifiably, or otherwise – but it's also true that people often don't see it that way, and see "homicide" as a somewhat legalistic term (which means it carries with it a stink of criminal guilt), so I don't think it's a great term to use outside of formal discussions of death/killing in the abstract, or specific legal terminology (e.g. "negligent homicide" or "justifiable homicide"). Probably a rewording of the heading that involved the word "killing" would also work too, and I wouldn't necessarily be opposed to it, but just sticking it in as "Huntersville, North Carolina killing" reads really really weirdly. "Shooting" does fall a bit short of the extent of events, but I do think it's better than "homicide". &#8209;&#8209;Volteer1 (talk) 22:39, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
 * , yes and the only reason I recommended the use of the word "shooting" is because that is the word that the cited sources used. And,, I will set aside your comment about my being "prejudiced" and wanting to "sugar coat" things and I forgive you for that. — Johnnie Bob (talk) 23:02, 11 August 2021 (UTC)
