“Remember that Snoop also ‘quit smoking’”: DaBaby revealing he’s quitting drinking alcohol cast doubts among netizens online

DaBaby, the American rapper, has revealed that he is going to quit drinking liquor during a PSA (public service announcement) on Instagram this Sunday, December 3, 2023. The 31-year-old posted a video and told his 20.7 million followers that,

"It’s official, bruh. I don’t drink no more. I got my appearances. Don’t try to give me no bottles, don’t try to offer me no shot, don’t do none of that."

The decision comes following an embarrassing moment he had while intoxicated in the presence of his daughter, according to Billboard. Netizens have reacted to his post, many not believing the rapper's words as other celebrities have also vowed sobriety before but have allegedly failed.

Snoop Dogg, for instance, revealed on social media in November that he was going to quit smoking marijuana as he was "done with the coughing and clothes smelling all sticky icky." As per USA Today, the rapper shared on X, formerly Twitter, that it was all part of an advertisement.
