“I didn’t know the Supreme Court got invited to the Grammys this year,” wrote another.

“The dramatic grandma choir behind DaBaby I—”, wrote another.

Host Trevor Noah also got a kick out of DaBaby’s choice of backing singers, calling them “DaBaby Boomers”.

Speaking to the Associated Press about his Blame It On Baby track, which had some additional verses at the Grammys, DaBaby said his new “ROCKSTAR” words were “going to touch everybody”.

Prior to his set, he opened up a bit more to the AP about his coming socially distanced performance: “At the end of the day, we still have the ability to express ourselves through camera. So it’s no different than like a music video.”

Later, the rapper also joined performer Dua Lipa for her rendition of “Levitating” during the show.
