<p>When so much beef is occurring in hip hop on the daily, it can feel like a breath of fresh air when a hip hop veteran acknowledges the talent and success of an emerging rapper. Just such a thing occurred recently when <a href="/profile/Diddy" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Diddy</a> told <a href="/profile/Da-Baby" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DaBaby</a> something that revealed just how much the OG respects this relative newcomer. </p>

<p>While standing in a large group of people on the street among paparazzi, Diddy and DaBaby shake hands as Diddy places his other hand on DaBaby&#8217;s shoulder. Diddy proceeds to offer some kind words to DaBaby, professing, &#8220;you the hottest n*gga in the game, you know what I&#8217;m sayin&#8217;?&#8221; As the crowd watches intently and the cameras flash, DaBaby looks very appreciative and honoured by this praise from <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/diddy-opens-up-about-dark-depression-in-emotional-2020-psa-news.99686.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">someone who has been in the game for quite some time himself.</a> The two of them performed at the same event on New Year&#8217;s <a href="/profile/Eve" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Eve</a>, which may have been where this heart-to-heart occurred.</p>

<p>DaBaby would have to agree with Diddy, since <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-explains-why-nba-youngboy-is-his-favorite-artist-after-himself-news.98481.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">he revealed that he is also his own favourite rapper</a>, with NBA YoungBoy following in the number 2 spot. It makes sense considering<a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/the-year-of-dababy-and-megan-thee-stallion-news.98447.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener"> DaBaby has had a very successful year</a>, and has proved himself as <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/barack-obamas-favorite-2019-songs-dababy-summer-walker-j-cole-and-more-news.99512.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">a major force in hip hop.</a> Despite some unfortunate occurrences recently, like <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-and-twitter-react-to-his-alleged-nudes-leak-news.98918.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">his nudes leaking</a> (though he denied that they were his) and <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-goes-off-on-charlotte-police-after-weed-arrest-news.99131.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">police detaining him at his concert</a>, DaBaby is determined to <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/dababy-warns-us-how-hes-coming-in-2020-news.99485.html" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener">make the new year even better than the last.</a> </p><br>
