The news of their split, has come after DaniLeigh received backlash by DaBaby fans for her song, 'Yellow Bone'.
In the song, DaniLeigh sings the lyrics "yellow-bone, that's what he wants" referring to being light-skinned.
However, DaBaby's fans slammed her for perpetuating colourism and racism.
One fan wrote on Twitter: "D*ni L*igh perpetuating Colorism in 2021 with a song saying, 'yellow bone that’s what he wants' in a pseudo-rap voice? In this economy?"
Another fan wrote "Just heard Danileigh’s “Yellowbone” for the first time. On top of colorism, this song is super trash. The producer should be fired for allowing this to go through."
DaBaby's baby mother and ex-girlfriend,Meme, chimed in on the backlash DaniLeigh received, and wrote "Lmfao, I'm gone! I ain't gonna do it."
While DaniLeigh apologised after receiving backlash over her song, many fans weren't convinced that it was sincere and heartfelt.
