DaBaby hits the 'Gram to react to the recent allegations that he assaulted a driver.

DaBaby is at the peak of his success right now but unfortunately, he's also found himself in trouble with the law on a few occasions. Earlier today, it was reported that an active arrest warrant is out for DaBaby after an altercation with a driver. Apparently, in Nov. 2019, the rapper and his crew ordered car service. Though they're accustomed to the privilege of being able to smoke where they want, the driver informed them that they weren't allowed to light up in his vehicle.

As tensions rose, the driver alleges that DaBaby and his crew got aggressive. DaBaby allegedly punched him in the back of the head while the rest of the crew uttered threats, according to the driver.

Though it wouldn't be the first time DaBaby was accused of assaulting someone, he's maintaining his innocence. He took to Instagram where he shared a simple message to his followers. "100% false. Y'all stay positive," he wrote. "The devil gone always try you when you doing good."

His attorney, Drew Findlay, echoed this sentiment in a statement to TMZ. "A 100% false accusation which suspiciously pops up in February regarding an alleged incident in November," Findlay told the publication. "We can smell another attempted money grab."

The active arrest warrant that's out for DaBaby is to bring him in on a misdemeanor battery charge.
