When DaBaby faced backlash for his comments at Rolling Loud NYC, resulting in him being dropped from numerous festivals and opportunities, 50 Cent seemingly brought the rapper out to perform at Rolling Loud NYC during his set. Since then, 50 has made it a point to mentor DaBaby, noting he lost Pop Smoke before his mentorship could help the star see his full potential. Now, DaBaby has called the Queens mogul his “last role model.” 

Via Instagram, DaBaby sent 50 Cent a birthday shoutout and said, “Still gone hit ya phone, but I wanted to show my love and appreciation publicly! Bruh…I tell you all the time, words can’t express how much I appreciate the relationship I got with you. Since the day I met ya you done gave me a lifetime worth of game & motivation.”

DaBaby then spoke on how 50 gave him game during his “canceled” period in his career, saying, “Put ya arm around a n***a at one of my lowest points, treated anything of mines like it was yours, treated anybody attached to me like family. Showed me how to navigate through the bulls**t the RIGHT way! REAL N***A.. with PLENTY sense.” He then said, “Tell you once a month you the last role model I got left!” Take a look above.
