Event Information

Demario White B/K/A Moneybagg Yo was born on September 3, 1991 in South Memphis, Tennessee. The oldest of three siblings Moneybagg wore tired of seeing his mom struggle to feed him and his sisters, so he dropped out of High School and began running the streets with hopes to support and provide for his family. During idle time Moneybagg Yo and his bestfriend Elo began freestyle fun, ELO would tell Moneybagg Yo he truly thought Baggs had what it takes to become a rapstar. In 2015 ELO’s vision came true when Moneybagg Yo dropped Federal, a mixtape that set Memphis and Tennessee surrounding areas ablaze. But It wasnt until his bestfriend ELO was fatally gunned down in 2015 that Moneybagg Yo began to take rap music serious. During these painful times Moneybagg Yo penned and released a CD that wore heavy on the hearts of South and North Memphis. The cd was to titled “ELO” (Everybody Lives On) a tribute to (his Best-friend) the late ELO. Rapper DaBaby dove headfirst into music, making a sharp turn from petty crime and legal issues to pursuing rap full-time with no previous experience. Beginning in 2015 under the name Baby Jesus but soon altering that to DaBaby, the Charlotte, North Carolina rapper ambushed the music industry with constant mixtape releases, making waves with tracks like 2016’s “Light Show” as well as performances at South by Southwest in 2015 and 2017. His style grew progressively harder and more aggressive as his discography expanded, with melodic and lighthearted flows becoming more confident and fluid by 2018’s Blank Blank mixtape. DaBaby was born Jonathan Kirk in Cleveland, Ohio in 1991. By age six, he’d relocated to Charlotte, North Carolina and spent his adolescence engaged in street life. In December 2014, Kirk made a quick decision to become a rapper, taking the name Baby Jesus and issuing his NonFiction mixtape a month later. Never having been on a stage before, he headed to South by Southwest in the spring of 2015 and began making a name for himself with his visceral live performances. Kirk changed his name to DaBaby, going so far as to explain the “political reasons” for this decision in the lyrics to “DaBaby (Intro),” a short introduction to 2016’s God’s Work Resurrected, his first mixtape under the new moniker. This release featured a cameo from Boosie Badazz and began to attract the attention of fans and peers alike. Multiple mixtapes followed in the coming months, with 2017 offering Billion Dollar Baby, Baby Talk, Baby Talk 2, 3, and 4, as well as Back on My Baby Jesus Sh!t. 2018 continued in a similarly prolific fashion with Baby Talk 5 and Blank Blank. In November of 2018, while shopping with his family at a Walmart in Huntersville, North Carolina, Kirk was approached by several men. An altercation broke out and gunfire ensued, resulting in the death of 19-year-old Jalyn Domonique Craig. Kirk, while involved in the dispute, did not admit to firing the fatal shots and was not charged with any crime connected to the incident. DaBaby’s regional acclaim and endless hustle broke through to a major-label deal in 2019 when he signed on with Interscope.
