As the success of DaBaby increases, so do his rates, and a pretty penny is currently paid by the former XXL Freshman to be featured on a stage.
On Saturday (Feb. 13), when he posted a YouTube video he put out about two years ago, “Leave Me Alone Freestyle.” the North Carolina rapper shared some family clips on his Instagram account. Shot just before DaBaby had his breakout year, the clip shows him flipping while rapping through a modest money stack. Fuck you, I should really charge you ten/I went and broke bread with the family when I could've bought a Benz, “Somebody tells these rappers to leave me ‘lone now/My feature price went up, I charge 5K for a song now/too That's high for you? Fuck you, I should really charge you ten/I went and broke bread with the family when I could've bought a Benz, “Somebody says these rappers leave me ‘lone now/My feature price went up, I charge 5K for a song now/too That's high for you?
In a bit braggadocio, DaBaby provided an update on his current fee, letting fans know that things definitely have changed since January 2019. “From 5k a verse to 300k,” he posted.
DaBaby's prices increased substantially shortly after the freestyle dropped, due mostly in part to the success of his debut album, Baby on Baby, released in March of that year. That fall, he revealed to the L.A. Leakers his prices had reached six figures. “It's six digits,” DaBaby said during an interview on California Power 106 radio station. “God is great. It's six of 'em. It's six digits at least.”
Now, with six Grammy nominations and a No. 1 song later, the bag for a 16 is even bigger.
