DaBaby (born Jonathan Lyndale Kirk) is one of rap’s most controversial figures. A member of the new breed, he got his start with singer South Coast Music Group before signing a seven-figure deal with Interscope in 2018 off the back of his mixtape success. Since then he’s released three albums and had a Billboard #1 with the Roddy Ricch assisted Rockstar. While he is loved by many, there are just as many who dislike the North Carolina native. DaBaby was involved in a shooting that resulted in the death of a 19-year-old Jaylin Craig and was called out for homophobic comments he made at the Rolling Loud Festival in Miami in 2021. Despite calls for DaBaby to be canceled, he has managed to flourish. So much so that last year DaBaby memes became a thing.

Nobody is quite sure why this happened, but many point to comedian Marcus Abston. He made a joke comparing DaBaby’s head to that of a PT Cruiser. Since then DaBaby memes have cropped up all over social media and continue to provide rap fans with laughter. So if you have seen the memes but aren’t quite sure what is going on, don’t worry. To help you out, here are 20 of the most hilarious DaBaby memes with a bit of background. 

1. DaBaby or PT Cruiser?

One of the first DaBaby memes is this classic comparing the rapper’s head to that of a PT Cruiser. You really shouldn’t laugh but it’s hard not to find this image funny.

2. DaBaby Jesus

This is funny for so many reasons. DaBaby being called baby Jesus and the young generation having no clue is something that’s totally believable. 

3. Don’t Mess With Jojo Siwa

For some reason, DaBaby called Jojo Siwa a bitch on recently released track Beatbox Freestyle. While he was quick to play down the controversy and defend his actions as wordplay, it hasn’t stopped the internet coming for him. This meme depicts Siwa’s reaction to seeing DaBaby in the street. We can only dream.
