BabyDaiz (David Nzapa) is a South African-based rapper, artist, born in Kinshasa, Democratic Republic of Congo, on 13 September 1999. Raised in Cape Town’s Western Cape, he grew up balancing his Congolese heritage with South African street culture—a mix that shaped his unique sound.

His love for music began in 7th grade, performing with friends at school talent shows. At Windsor High School in Lansdowne, he built a reputation for his charisma and sharp delivery, gaining popularity among students and later online, where he quickly amassed over 10,000 Instagram followers.

In 2019, under the name Daiz King, he released his first street anthem “Waterpark” and the cult EP Mind of a Broke Boi. That same year, he dropped “On Watch,” which exploded during the 2020 lockdown thanks to his growing TikTok influence. Rebranding as BabyDaiz, he followed up with the viral hit “Fetty” and later dropped fan favorites like “Easier by Day,” “2022,” and “Deposit.”

By 2022, BabyDaiz’s rise attracted U.S. investors who flew him abroad for artist development in America and Nigeria. In 2023, he released his biggest hit yet, “Pleaser.”

With over 2.2M TikTok followers and collaborations with names like Costa Titch, Donkrock, and Kindlynxsh, BabyDaiz is fast becoming one of Africa’s most exciting new stars.
