DaBaby just can't seem to catch a break. In recent years, his music career has been extremely overshadowed by his legal troubles and personal drama. His issues started before he was even signed to a label, but they seem to have gotten worse and worse since. Recently, the rapper has been embroiled in a legal battle with a property manager. In 2020, DaBaby rented a house in Los Angeles. The property manager was not made aware that the rapper was planning to film a video at the house. As this was not allowed, the manager attempted to enforce the rules of the rental. That is when DaBaby allegedly assaulted him.
Now, the property manager's legal team is claiming that DaBaby and his legal team are withholding evidence. Namely, they say that the rapper has videos and photos of the incident that he is refusing to produce in court. DaBaby is dealing with both a civil and a criminal trial in regard to the incident. In the civil suit, the property manager is seeking $2 million from the rapper. DaBaby's legal team says that they will not be producing any of the supposed evidence until after he testifies in the criminal trial.
DaBaby's Controversies: A Timeline
DaBaby's legal battles started in 2018, before he had even signed to a record label. The rapper was involved in an altercation in a North Carolina Walmart that led to him killing a teenager. At the time, he claimed self-defense and what police saw on the security footage corroborated his story. However, the footage has since emerged, and people question whether or not it really was self-defense. In early 2020, DaBaby was sued by a concert promoter after the rapper assaulted him. He went to jail for the attack but has since denied the incident took place. However, the entire thing is on video.
In March 2020, the rapper allegedly slapped a female fan on the way to the stage for a performance. Then, in July 2021, he made some extremely homophobic comments during his Rolling Loud set. Additionally, he also collaborated with Tory Lanez after the Megan Thee Stallion shooting. In February 2022, DaBaby and his entourage attacked DaniLeigh's brother at a bowling alley. Sadly, the events listed here only scratch the surface of the rapper's horrible behavior. Even worse, DaBaby remains unapologetic for almost every controversy, assault, and murder that he's been involved in. What do you think about the newest allegations? Let us know in the comments.
