DaBaby

Megan Thee Stallion

<p>Since dropping the <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/414983-dababy-returns-with-baby-on-baby-2-new-mixtape" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">sequel to his debut album</a> <em>Baby On Baby</em> last week, <a href="/profile/Da-Baby" class="text-word" target="_blank" >DaBaby</a> has been hit with a <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/433819-dababy-claims-he-slept-with-megan-thee-stallion-before-tory-lanez-incident-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">whirlwind of controversy</a>. The album’s lead single, “Boogeyman” was the target of lots of backlash, after the North Carolina native revealed on the track that he <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/417833-dababy-claims-he-was-f-ckin-on-megan-thee-stallion-on-boogeyman-new-song" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">slept with Megan Thee Stallion in 2020</a>, just before her shooting incident with <a href="/profile/ToryLanez" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Tory Lanez</a>. </p>



<p>“You play with me that sh*t was childish/The day before she said that Tory Lanez shot her, I was f**kin on <a href="/profile/megan-thee-stallion" class="text-word" target="_blank" >Megan Thee Stallion</a>,” he rapped. Many fans thought the lyrics were distasteful, considering that the “Cash Sh**” collaborators are no longer friends. But that didn’t stop DaBaby from dropping the visual to the controversial track.&nbsp;</p>

<p>A clip from the horror themed video showed a Megan Thee Stallion doppelgänger, who sneaks into a dark basement with her friends as the summons the boogeyman, played by the “Boogeyman” rapper himself. After sharing a snippet of the video for his Instagram followers, fans flooded the comment section with mixed reviews. “Y’all wild for naming her “morgan” the stallion,” one fan joked, while others shared a bunch of corn emojis. </p>

<p>Although <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/317171-tory-lanez-challenges-cancel-culture-with-dababy-announcement-news" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Megan has yet to publicly address </a>DaBaby’s claims, many speculated that her recent comments about body positivity were directed at the Charlotte native. However, she hopped on Twitter to slightly address the “negative narrative” while <a href="https://www.hotnewhiphop.com/435861-megan-thee-stallion-slams-blogs-for-pushing-negative-narrative-it-gets-frustrating" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">calling out blogs </a>for only posting bad things about her. “I really don’t care abt being posted AT ALL,” she tweeted, “But why is it that all of a sudden out of the 1 million positive things I do / have done it only seems like when something negative happens that’s news?”</p>
