On Monday (January 5), DaBaby announced his next album, Be More Grateful , and released a new single, “Don’t Insult Me,” featuring his daughter, Twin , expressing his one-two punch of music and meaning.
The music video, directed by Nick Mays, begins with paparazzi surrounding the rapper and his daughter before the twin uses her powers to calm the chaos. The scene quickly shifts from confrontation to control, setting the tone for a song that blends personal reflection with poignant lyricism.
Throughout the video, DaBaby warns people not to play with him because he “puts the iron on a few n#####” when Twin stays with him.
“Don’t Insult Me” is one of the most vulnerable entries in DaBaby’s catalog. The song was released ahead of “Be More Grateful,” which dropped on January 16th. Listeners who pre-order the album will receive “Don’t Insult Me” and “PBJT” immediately, along with previously released songs “Letter to My YN,” “Paper Low” and “Out Ya Business.”
The premiere began with “Letter to My YN,” an inspirational song designed to inspire the next generation.
This Belly-inspired video features DaBaby and his nephew, emphasizing the importance of guidance and avoiding destructive paths. This message continues to echo throughout the new project.
On his birthday, DaBaby releases Out Ya Business , a black and white visual also directed by Mays.
The video, filmed inside a school, focuses on discipline and mental clarity, in line with the rapper’s recent efforts to use his platform as more than just a chart-topper. Off stage, DaBaby is expanding his reach through his nonprofit program, DaBaby Cares.
Launched during Suicide Prevention Month 2024 in memory of late brother Glenn Johnson, the program aims to address mental health stigma and provide resources for young people.
Its first event, held at West Charlotte High School, provided students with mental health resources and a Teen Mental Health 101 guide.
