DaBaby (real name Jonathan Kirk) jumped into 2020 with some serious VIBEZ. The “Suge” rapper kicked off the new year with an arrest. According to CNN, DaBaby was arrested on Jan. 2 for “allegedly attacking a music promoter over payment for a performance.” He reportedly claimed he was owed $30,000, but the promoter supposedly only gave him $20,000.
Per the report, the brawl erupted at Cafe Iguana, a Florida nightclub. When DaBaby realized he was shorted $10,000, he allegedly complained, then started attacking two promoters with his entourage. One was reportedly punched in the face, and the other was knocked to the ground. DaBaby and his crew reportedly stole $80, a credit card, and an iPhone 7 from the latter promoter, before dumping apple juice on the poor guy. At least it wasn’t Ciroc? That seems like it would’ve stung.
The rapper escaped the scene in a black SUV before police arrived, but he reportedly made the fatal flaw of returning to his hotel room. That’s where DaBaby was “arrested and charged with misdemeanor battery,” though he claimed he wasn’t involved in the so-called incident. According to TMZ, DaBaby already had a warrant out in Dallas for “organized criminal activity” regarding a fight with a food stand employee at the Dallas/Fort Worth Airport. Per NBC 6, after being held without bond, he was released from jail a couple of days later when the warrant was withdrawn.
