American rapper DaBaby, whose real name is Jonathan Kirk, made the headlines recently for physically attacking the brother of singer and dancer DaniLeigh, his ex-girlfriend with whom he has a child.

Take a look at the rapper’s career, net worth and previous relationships.

DaBaby began his music career in 2015, but he rose to fame in 2019 after the release of his debut studio album "Baby on Baby,” which featured singles "Suge" and "Baby Sitter.”

"Suge" reached No. 7 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 3 on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart, earning the rapper two Grammy nominations.

He released several singles in the succeeding years, including "Intro," "Bop" and "Vibez."

Over the years, DaBaby worked on hit tracks with other artists, including Megan Thee Stallion's "Cash S--t" and "Cry Baby," Lizzo's "Truth Hurts,” Gucci Mane's "Richer Than Errybody," Chance the Rapper's "Hot Shower," Camila Cabello's "My Oh My," Dua Lipa's "Levitating" and Kanye West's "Nah Nah Nah."

As of 2022, the rapper has an estimated net worth of $6 million, according to Celebrity Net Worth.

With his growing wealth, DaBaby decided to purchase a $2.3 million, 11,300-square-foot home in the small town of Troutman, North Carolina in 2019. The mansion featured five bedrooms, a home theater and a wine cellar.

Aside from the strides DaBaby made in his music career, he has seen a lot of drama in his romantic life.

DaBaby has four children with three women, according to Distractify. He shares two children with his ex-girlfriend Meme — stepson Caleb and daughter Serenity born in 2014 and 2017, respectively.

The recording artist also shares a daughter named Nova with a woman named Latoia Danet, as per The Rap-Up. He is also the father of DaniLeigh’s daughter, who was born in August 2021.

In November 2021, DaBaby left fans stunned as he live-streamed a heated argument between him and DaniLeigh while she was nursing their baby daughter.

DaniLeigh also did an Instagram Live in which she was seen being asked to leave the rapper’s home by police officers.

DaBaby later released a statement, saying that he started filming DaniLeigh for his protection because she was beating on him and chasing him.
