“The way he came out gunning with his relentless hustle, that’s one of the people I came out watching,” said Baby. “That’s actually somebody who I study. And as far as being versatile not only as an artist, but an individual, period. Being business-minded, acting and being versatile, I soak that up from him.”

DaBaby would like to get with his role model for a little face-to-face.

“I’ve been trying to get with 50 man, people like I just want to get in the room and pick your brain," he explained.

Do you think DaBaby will have a 50 Cent-length career?
