Before Bad Baby would steal the show on Dr. Phil and create a meme that would take over
the internet in 2017
Before Danielle Bregoli would inspire a high school Grad’s speech
Before she’d be the youngest female rapper to get debut on the billboard Hot 100
Before Bad Baby would go on a North American and European Tour, and have 3 of her songs
hit Gold Certification
Aright gang, I think I missed the mark back in 2017 giving the Cash Me Outside girl an
After They Were Famous but at the time... there wasn't much we knew about her besides
having been on the Dr. Phil show.
Two years later and this girl has become one of the biggest stars of her generation so
we decided to finally do her Before They Were Famous video.
For that, well I'm gonna get a little help from my bud Jarred.
He's a massive fan of hers.
Danielle Bregoli, aka Bhad Babie, also known as the Catch Me Outside Girl has proven to
the world that shes more than just a viral meme.
Unlike most people who go viral, Danielle’s 15 minutes of fame has lasted a lot longer
than 15 minutes.
The now 16 year old rapper has proven to the world she’s here to stay, with a rap career
that seems to be growing by the minute.
After her debut song These Hoes would garner over 83 million views on youtube at the time
of this recording, Bregolli would go on to collaborate with the likes of Lil Yachty,
Kodak Black, and Ty Dolla Sign to name a few.
Not bad, your getting good at this.
What's going on guys?
It's your boy Michael McCrudden getting some help from my bud...
I'm Jarred Bronstein and welcome back to Before They Were Famous.
We are tag teaming this video which I probably shouldn't have just said.
We're collabing.
Not appropriate at all Jarred.
Who else have you covered on this channel?
I've done a ton, Ace Family The Rich Life, Lavar Ball, Bol Bol and just yesterday I did
a Before They Were Famous on Chris Smoove, it was the most requested video in the comments.
People been asking for that one for years.
I'm looking forward to it.
Keep sending in your requests in the comments down below.
Before we jump into this one, our trivia question is before her handle was bad baby, what was
Danielle’s instagram?
Let us know in the comments down below and we will tell you a little later in this video.
Danielle Bregolli was born on March 26th, 2003 in Boynton Beach, Florida.
She is the daughter of Barbara Ann Bregoli, a former accountant from Brooklyn, who's turned
her full time job into chaperoning and managing her young daughter’s career.
Bregolli’s biological father, Ira Peskowitz is a Sheriff Deputy of Palm Beach County,
but technically, Ira is no longer Danielle’s father.
Biologically, he is, of course, but due to their rocky relationship, or the fact that
he left Danielle when she was just 3 months old, is one of the many reasons Bhad Bhabie
filed a court order to get his name removed from her birth certificate.
Growing up with just her mother in Florida, Danielle would be influenced by the likes
of Plies, Trina, T-Pain Keyshia Cole, Chris Brown, Trey Songz, and Flo Rida to name a
few, but the first artist Danielle would grow to love on
her own.
Growing up Danielle admits she originally wanted to be a nurse, but would quickly transition
her passion to music after being featured on Dr. Phil and coining the phrases “Catch
Me Outside, How Bout That?”
Or, as she said it
For those of you new to the internet, Danielle quickly rose to fame after a clip of her Dr.
Phil went viral.
She appeared on the show in September of 2016, after it appeared her relationship with her
mother was at rock bottom.
In the Dr. Phil clip, Barbara Ann describes how her daughter is out of control and she
no longer wants to parent her.
She also explained to Dr. Phil and the audience what exactly Danielle meant when she first
uttered her famous catch phrase, telling the Doc “Catch her outside means she’ll go
outside and do what she has to do.”
“That’s what she’s talking about.”
Barbara goes on to claim Danielle is all bark, no bite, and just yaps without any action.
This prompts Danielle to get into her Mother’s face, which leads to both Barbara and Dr.
Phil telling Danielle to sit back down.
But I think it’s clear Danielle does have some fight in her.
She’s been in altercations with Iggy Azalea, Lil Tay, and of course Woah Vicky as you can
see here.
But before her fame and fortune, Danielle apparently pulled herself out of school during
the 7th grade because it was just straight up boring.
After pulling herself out from school, she would get her platform on Dr. Phil to turn
herself into the star she’s become today.
But according to Dr. Phil, Bregoli would be sent to a ranch, so they call it, to help
her turn her life around.
It’s believed she did exactly that, after 4 months she’s become a great leader and
is now a sweet little girl.
That mentality however wouldn’t last long, as Dr. Phil explained on Joe Rogans Podcast.
After finding out people were talking trash about Breogli’s Mother, Barbara decided
to take action into her own hands.
This would lead to the family being invited back to Dr. Phil’s show, where Danielle
would claim that she turned Dr. Phil into the next Oprah and claims he was nothing before
she made her appearance.
Now as everyone thought, Bregoli would get her 15 minutes of fame like Alex from Target
or the Super Bowl Selfie Kid, or even Damn Daniel and that’d be the end me included.
Our After They Were Famous went viral with over 7 million views.
Sorry about that Danielle.
Maybe for Bregoli it was the end, but it was just the start for Bhad Babie.
It all started when Adam Kluger, CEO of The Kluger Agency reached out to Danielle and
her mother back in January of 2017.
He told the New York Times stated he said “I want to manage you.
Give me some time, I’ll make you a star.”
“I’ll make you guys rich.
We want to make this thing happen” “With no hesitation, they were like, ‘O.K.,
done.’
They had no clue what that meant.”
After Kluger would obtain success being the middle man between celebrities and companies
wanting to promote their brand through product placement, he would take on his next challenge,
managing Bhad Babie.
Kluger got in touch with his buddy, Dan Roof, the founder of Flue, a company that consulted
on the I am T Pain App, and told her about Danielle.
Although he had no idea who she was at first, it wouldn’t be long before he would agree
to become her digital manager.
Not long after bringing two managers on board, Bregolli would make headlines again by getting
into a fight with another passenger on a Spirit Airlines flight.
Although it seemed Danielle would continue making headlines for her attitude and rambunctious
ways, her manager’s had different plans.
A meet and greet with the Cash Me Outside girl was planned, but eventually got cancelled.
It was then reported that Bregolli would be getting her own reality show, but that fell
through after people realized suspected that her fame wouldn't last forever.
Although Danielle had a slight interest in acting, it was her rapping along to Kodak
Black mixtapes that gave Dan Roof the idea to turn her into a rap star.
While going through the trial and errors of their next step, Roof and Kluger would spend
a lot of time driving Danielle to and from interviews, meetings and appointments.
While driving, Roof would film Danielle rapping along for fun, and after reviewing some of
the videos himself, he realized, she can actually rap.
At first Kluger wasn’t so keen on the idea of Danielle becoming a rapper, most likely
because of his previous stint in the music industry which would end in a threatening
potential lawsuit with Britney Spear’s camp and the dating app Bumble.
However he decided to give it a shot, and unfortunately it didn’t turn out as planned.
During her first studio session, Bad Baby wasn’t so into it “I was like: ‘I don’t
want to put these headphones on.
I don’t want to get in this booth’” but once she got in front of the mic, she
felt right in the zone.
After her first studio session was a hit, she got a second one with Aton Ben-Horin,
who is the global head of artists at Warner Music Group.
At the time Bregoli had an impressive instagram following of over 1 million, but he still
wasn’t sold.
He brought in an unfinished track titled hi bich, and told Bad Baby to give it her best
shot.
As many of you know, Bad Baby would go on to record and release the hit song, having
it be one of her bigger songs to date, and her first song to receive gold certification.
On September 15th Bregoli would sign a record deal with Atlantic Records, and although details
were never officially released, it was believed she signed for a few million.
Around this time, Bregoli would officially change her name on instagram from Slimthugga
to BhadBhabie.
She explains the Bhad, spelt bhad, stands for been hated and doubted.
Well look at that, learn something new every day.
Bad Baby would go on to release her EP, 15, which included the hits Gucci Flip Flops featuring
Lil Yachty, Juice featuring YG, Geeked featuring Lil Baby, and of course Hi Bich.
Which one's your favorite?
I'm a fan of the new one “Get Like Me” --- bitch get me some money, bitch get me
some money.
Hoe get like me!
Don't do that – the fans don't like it.
Although Danielle's rapping initially received mixed reviews people were generally impressed
and she's turned into a bon-a-fide star!
Prior to the release of 15, Bad Baby would go on the Banned in the USA international
tour, with stops in New York, Philadelphia, Boston, Chicago, Toronto where she blew me
off.
Really?
Nah I didn't message her, she kinda scares me.
Touring has even taken her to Paris, London and Amsterdam to name a few.
And it seems things are just getting started for the young up and coming rapper.
She most recently signed a huge endorsement deal with CopyCat Beauty, for a reported 900
thousand dollars and a percentage of sales over 6 months.
On top of this, she also released a Snapchat Original series, Bringing up Bhabie, which
in it’s debut, generated over 10 million unique views in 24 hours.
Bad Baby currently has a total of 6.8 million youtube subscribers, over 16 million instagram
followers, and over half a million twitter followers.
Coming off her tour and with the brand new music video for her song Get Like Me featuring
NLE Choppa clocking in over 5 million views in less than a week, it seems like Bad Baby’s
15 minutes of fame will be lasting much longer than the 15 minutes many originally thought
it would.
We’ll just have to wait and see how the rest of her career turns out, but as of now
it seems like the 16 year old Florida native is just getting started.
