His eccentric rapping style and lyrics garnered quite the LOLs around the world, earning him over a million views on the music video. The song also became a significant pop culture moment as a meme.

The rapper again went viral a few days ago on X (former Twitter) when a clip of him rapping on the popular Dingo Freestyle YouTube channel for their Killing Verse from 2022 resurfaced. This time, too, the reason behind the virality was netizens finding his music hilarious.

In response to this post, a user posted the recent whereabouts of DBO, which left many with a whiplash!

The OP (original poster) reposted a TikTok video from DBO’s girlfriend, Slaylonie, who documented his transformation from before and after meeting her. The rapper appears to have undergone a drastic visual metamorphosis, with his braids long gone, replaced by his own long, luscious hair, and a complete change in his wardrobe.

But it is not just his visuals that have taken a whole 180. DBO’s rapping style and the content of his songs have changed as well. His lyrics showcase a much more sensible approach to hip hop, while his flow and style appear to have improved as well.
