Jonathan Lyndale Kirk aka DaBaby is an American rapper. Famous for his song “Rockstar” ft. Roddy Ricch has become one of the top artists in the rap industry in recent years. He is the sixth most streamed artist and the most-streamed rap artist on Spotify.
Recently, Twitch had banned a channel named after the artist DaBaby. The channel generally used to troll many top streamers like Pokimane, Hasan, and Ninja while posing as the rap artist DaBaby.
It is believed that the real DaBaby doesn’t own or run the channel and someone used his name to create the channel to troll famous personalities. In the process of trolling, the channel somehow got itself verified by Twitch and had a tick mark on its profile.
On May 19, Twitch banned the DaBaby channel. Although in typical Twitch fashion nobody knows why the channel was banned, we can only speculate that someone from the Twitch staff was alerted about the fake DaBaby account going around trolling others on the platform and being a headache.
While the real DaBaby or Twitch hasn’t commented on the matter yet. The biggest question most streamers and community members are asking is how a fake profile could get the verified tick. If the account was indeed fake then why did Twitch wait for so long to ban the account? We might never get answers to these questions.
