Most recently the "Baby Sitter" rapper partnered with the #NoCap2020 campaign to bring voters across North Carolina to the polls. DaBaby said he feels like people who are in the same position as him and have big platforms need to use that advantage to educate people on their voting rights. "I'd be a failure at what I'm doing if I didn't use my platform and bring people out here [to the polls] and change the way the world moves," the "BOP" rapper added.
