Several others shared hilarious memes poking fun at the rap before DaBaby took to Twitter to clarify the meaning behind his rap.
The rapper insisted the track was not a diss to JoJo but was a play on words as his real name is Jonathan (‘JoJo’) and he used Siwa as a twist on ‘see why’.
Taking to social media, he wrote: ‘I love Twitter bruh,’ before he messaged JoJo directly and insisted he is a big fan and his daughter also loves her.
DaBaby wrote: ‘@JoJoSiwa my 3 year old princess is your number 1 fan. I bought her every product you have out. She think she you.
‘Don’t let em trick you into thinking id ever have a problem with you. My word play just went over their heads. All love on my end shawty, Keep shinning!’

JoJo has yet to comment on DaBaby’s track or his explanation for mentioning her.
It comes after JoJo recently introduced her first girlfriend to the world, after coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community.
She revealed she’s ‘fallen in love’ as she gushed over her new girlfriend Kylie for their first Valentine’s Day, taking to Instagram with a cute mirror selfie of Kylie giving her a piggyback ride.
The 17-year-old also shared a cute video of them at a restaurant, where Kylie blew a straw wrapper at her, captioning the post: ‘It’s my first valentines dayyyy!!

‘No one in the world makes me as happy as this girl does. I’m so thankful to have fallen in love with the most perfect person ever who makes me smile 24/7. I love you more than you’ll ever know!’
Kylie showed some love for her girlfriend with a black-and-white selfie of JoJo to her Instagram Story, writing: ‘Getting to spend Valentine’s Day w the BEST human on earth. I love you I love you I love you @itsjojosiwa.’
She made their relationship Instagram official earlier this month, posting some cute throwbacks, captioned: ‘After being my best friend for over a year, January 8th 2021 I got to start calling this exceptional human my Girlfriend… and Since then I’ve been the happiest I have ever been!
‘She seriously is the most loving, supportive, happiest, protective, and just the most beautiful perfect person in the world. And I get to call her mine! Happy one month to my girl! I love you more and more everyday!’

JoJo sparked speculation about her sexuality last month, when she took to her Instagram Story with a photo of her wearing a shirt that read: ‘Best. Gay. Cousin. Ever.’
JoJo subsequently cleared the air in a video she posted to Instagram, as she said through a beaming smile: ‘For the last 48 hours, I have gotten the most endless amount of love and support.
‘I am really, really — I’m really happy. And now that the world gets to see this side of my life, it makes me really happy.’
The YouTuber answered a follower who asked what label she identified with: ‘I have thought about this, and the reason why I’m not ready to say this answer is because I don’t really know this answer.

‘I think humans are awesome. I think humans are really incredible people. I want to keep things in my life private before they’re ready to become public. I’m the happiest that I’ve ever been. And that’s what matters.’
When another fan asked how long she’d been part of the LGBTQ community, she responded: ‘I don’t know. I think my whole life. Because my whole life, I’ve really really been, I just liked people, but I have never fallen in love before.
‘But I always believed that my person was just going to be my person. If that person happened to be a boy, great! And if that person happened to be a girl, great! I think I’m just really happy. I think in life you know when you meet your person, I really do.’
She also revealed that her parents have known for a while: ‘My parents have known. My mom said she’s known for the last two years. She’s like, “I just know with you!” Around two years ago, she was like, “I don’t think you only like boys, that’s totally okay.” They’ve always been so everything… My family is awesome.’
