To entice his fans, he withheld the random selfies until he reached 1000 followers.
Gonna start posting at 1000 followers, we’re almost there

When Babybay inevitably reached his goal, his first selfie was a massive hit and was even retweeted by the San Francisco Shock official Twitter page.
Baby's "Baes" quickly made the selfie iconic by copying his pose, moody black and white filter, and posting it on Twitter. San Francisco Shock brilliantly took the movement to the next level by encouraging fans to take the "Babybay Challenge" for charity.
It’s begun... Take a side by side picture that matches this photo, post and challenge at least one friend to do the same. For every #babybaychallenge post that tags @SFShock, we'll donate to Shock’s social initiative: youth focused Mental Health orgs in the SF/Bay area ⚡️
