I’ve been blessed to teach some unforgettable and extraordinary young people.
Years ago, I had the privilege of teaching an all-boys class at Furman L. Templeton Elementary School in West Baltimore. When I recollect, I often say those young men made me into the educator I am today. They grew me, not only as a teacher. But as a man.
One of those young men was Quinton.
He was respectful, humble, and came from a household that valued family. His father was a constant presence in my classroom—a father figure to many of the boys—and over time became like a brother to me. His mother was equally supportive.
Today, Quinton is a 30-year-old husband and father.
He is also one of Baltimore’s fastest-rising social media personalities.
Known to thousands as GhettoBaby QP, Quinton has created a unique lane for himself in both comedy and music. One moment he’ll have you laughing uncontrollably. The next, he’ll have you rapping one of his heartfelt rhymes bar for bar.
Like many young men from Baltimore, his journey hasn’t been without hardship. Today, he navigates life without either of his earthly compasses while raising a family of his own and pursuing his dreams with determination and faith.
I hope you can hear in my voice, this young man is special. And he’s special to me.
I genuinely believe that when the right opportunity presents itself, the rest of the world will discover what so many of us already know—that his talent deserves a much larger stage.
So, without further ado, please allow me to introduce one of Baltimore’s most entertaining creators…
GhettoBaby QP.
To the world, he’s GhettoBaby QP.
To me…
He’ll always be Quinton.
My main man Terry Mosby’s baby boy.
The Interview
What inspired you to start creating comedic social media content?
GhettoBaby QP:
“I’ve always loved comedy and making people laugh. Back during the Vine days, I started making six-second videos before Instagram even allowed video posts. Once Instagram introduced 15-second videos, I kept creating skits. I’d borrow my mother’s wigs, buy fake teeth, and create different characters. Even back then, I was combining comedy with music.”
How long have you been creating content?
GhettoBaby QP:
“I’ve been doing this since I was about 15 years old. After serving three years in prison and coming home, I realized that personality and content creation can really take you far as a social media influencer. So I decided to bring back the style of videos I used to make during the Vine era—and it’s been working.”
Your videos make thousands of people laugh every day. What’s your overall goal?
GhettoBaby QP:
“Honestly, I’m just having fun with it right now. I still work a 9-to-5, and one of my biggest goals is opening my own business. As far as social media, comedy, and music, I’m enjoying the journey.”

Which comes more naturally—making people laugh or making music?
GhettoBaby QP:
“I think both are God-given gifts. I’m comfortable doing either one. Comedy is what initially grabs people’s attention, but a lot of them stay because they discover my music.”
Who are your comedic inspirations?
GhettoBaby QP:
- Mike Epps
- Kevin Hart
- Mojo Brooks
- Desi Banks
- Chris Tucker
Who inspired you musically?
GhettoBaby QP:
“When I was younger, I listened to a lot of Lil Wayne and Lil Boosie. As Baltimore’s music scene started growing, artists like Lor Scoota and Meka became major influences.”
When did you realize you were gifted?
GhettoBaby QP:
“I’ve always known I was gifted. With music, I used to sit and rhyme words in my head for fun. With comedy, I realized I was funny when I could make adults laugh as a kid.”
You work a full-time job, create content, record music, and raise a family. Where does your motivation come from?
GhettoBaby QP:
(Laughing)
“Centrum vitamins keep me going!
Seriously though, my biggest motivation is my daughters. I want them to know what a good man looks like. If they choose to get married one day, I want them to recognize how a man should treat them because they had that example growing up.”
What’s been your greatest accomplishment so far?
GhettoBaby QP:
“Getting married.
A lot of people my age don’t even get the chance to experience marriage or a healthy relationship because they’re either gone too soon or end up incarcerated for a long time. Having a strong woman beside you can take you to another level.”
Who is Lil Reggie, and what’s the story behind your back-and-forth online?
GhettoBaby QP:
“Lil Reggie is a Baltimore comedian, streamer, and rapper. I wouldn’t really call it beef. Something was said about me, I responded, and my response went viral. It turned into a back-and-forth after that. I told him to leave me alone—or I was going to ’50 Cent’ him for the rest of his life.”
Have any celebrities surprised you by supporting your work?
GhettoBaby QP:
“Absolutely.
Polo G has liked and commented on my posts. BG from Cash Money showed love, and that meant a lot because my father used to listen to him. There have also been athletes and other artists who’ve reposted or commented on my content.”
What’s your ultimate dream in entertainment?
GhettoBaby QP:
“I just want to make enough money to take care of my family and the people I love.”
Tell us about your newest music.
GhettoBaby QP:
“I recently released two songs: ‘Beat It’ and ‘Ain’t Easy.’ Both were produced and recorded by LNR Leak, and the videos were shot by ZDBeCuttingUp. I stick with the same team because changing up would be like cheating on your barber.”
How would you describe yourself as an artist?
GhettoBaby QP:
“I’m very versatile. I can give you pain, hype, trap, drill, or motivational music.”
What separates GhettoBaby QP from everyone else?
GhettoBaby QP:
“My brand isn’t just music.
I use comedy skits, promotions, livestreams, and social media content to build the overall GhettoBaby Entertainment brand.”

Any final words?
“I can do all things through Christ who strengthens me.”
“If you put your mind to something, you can accomplish anything. I’ve come a long, long way, and I still have a long way to go. But where I come from, I know that if someone truly puts their mind to it, they can make it.”
Final Thoughts
I sincerely pray that every dream imaginable comes to fruition for you Quinton. I pray that you go on to entertain the world in your most magnificent way.
Keep making us laugh with your comedy.
Keep telling your profound stories through your real-life music.
But most importantly, keep making your parents proud.
By being the man, they raised you to be.
Love,
Mr. Dews
