Jonathan Lyndale Kirk (born December 22, 1991), known professionally as DaBaby (formerly Baby Jesus), is an American rapper. After releasing several mixtapes between 2014 and 2018, he signed with Interscope Records in January 2019. His debut studio album, Baby on Baby (2019), spawned the single "Suge", which peaked within the top ten of the Billboard Hot 100 a month after its release.
His second studio album, Kirk (2019), debuted atop the Billboard 200 and spawned the hit singles "Intro" and "Bop". That same year, he guest appeared on the singles "Enemies" by Post Malone and "Cash Shit" by Megan Thee Stallion. His third album, Blame It on Baby (2020), also peaked the Billboard 200; its single, "Rockstar" (featuring Roddy Ricch), spent seven non-consecutive weeks atop the Billboard Hot 100 in the wake of that year's George Floyd protests. Furthermore, it received quintuple platinum certification by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) and was nominated for Record of the Year at the 63rd Annual Grammy Awards.
In 2020, he guest performed on the remix of "Whats Poppin" by Jack Harlow and the single "Levitating" by Dua Lipa, both of which peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100. In the wake of controversies regarding homophobia, he released the collaborative mixtape Better than You (2022) with YoungBoy Never Broke Again, followed by his fourth album, Baby on Baby 2 (2022). Kirk experienced a mainstream resurgence with his fifth album BE MORE GRATEFUL (2026), which included the top-40 single "Pop Dat Thang".
