DaBaby Addresses Leaked Walmart Shooting Footage
DaBaby has decided to address the leaked footage of his allegedly infamous shooting from November 2018. The Charlotte rapper claimed self-defense in the death of 19-year-old Jaylin Craig. On Sunday, however, never before seen footage of the incident surfaced online.
The footage showed DaBaby throwing a punch at Henry Douglas, Craig’s friend. Craig then pulled out a gun from his waistband before tucking it back in. He then attempted to break up the scuffle between Douglas and DaBaby.
Shortly after, footage cut to a shopper becoming startled, presumably because DaBaby started shooting. DaBaby then reappears in the frame holding a Glock.

DaBaby speaks out about the shooting
As the footage made its rounds online, DaBaby took to social media to address the situation. According to the rapper, it is another attempt to assassinate his character.
“The n***as preying on me can’t f**k wit the people praying for me!”, DaBaby tweeted. In a follow up post on Instagram, the 30-year-old artist listed his woes using Tyrese’s viral crying clip from 2017.

“N**gas done took 30 million from me, lie on me once a week, want my fine a** BMs to hate me, want me to lose fights I don’t start. WHAT MORE DO U WANT FROM MEEE?”, the caption read.
However, DaBaby isn’t alone in thinking that the shooting leak was planned. Funkmaster Flex of Hot 97 offered up his own theory in his Instagram comments section.
“You sell records and your stage show cranking…You put on for your artist…Some people/music insiders was getting threatened!”, Flex wrote. He followed up his thoughts with the hashtag #JustMyOpinion.

This isn’t the first time DaBaby has addressed the shooting, either. In a bar from his 2020 hit “ROCKSTAR”, he rapped, “My daughter a G, she saw me kill a n**ga in front of her before the age of two.”
The case was closed in June of 2019, with DaBaby receiving probation for carrying a concealed weapon. Though, Craig’s mother LaWanda Horsley feels that her son never received true justice.
“I feel like [the police] just swept it under the rug,” Horsley told Rolling Stone. “[DaBaby] knows what he did. I’m not doing this for no fame or anything, because at the end of the day, Jaylin Craig is gone.”
