DaBaby adds another physical altercation to an already long, long list. Is it another case of self-defense?
DaBaby vs. Wisdom
The billion-dollar Baby Entertainment record label belongs to the North Carolina rapper DaBaby. The “Suge” artist has seen an unbelievable immense success since his 2019 break out. One would think a record label would be a chance to establish a close-knit sense of loyalty. Unfortunately, violence seems to follow DaBaby wherever he goes.
This Saturday (Apr 23), DaBaby came to fight with his artist Wisdom. A video recorded backstage at a celebrity-packed concert shows Baby throwing and missing a hard punch. The two men then proceed to fight verbally. In the end, Security managed to separate the two before it blew up any further.
The South Carolina concert featured stars like Renni Rucci, Kodak Black, and Webbie. A significant disagreement broke out before DaBaby, and the new artist could start mingling with peers.
On social media, fans, of course, reacted to DaBaby fighting Wisdom. At this point, DaBaby is notorious for his tendency to throw hands. Honestly, it’s not an unfair assessment.
DaBaby’s Checkered Past
Since his start in the mainstream industry, DaBaby has been getting into countless sticky situations. In February, an altercation occurred between him and Danileighs brother Brandon Bills at a CA bowling alley. Earlier this month, police were called to a North Carolina residence after Baby shot a home intruder.
In 2020, the author of the “BETTER THAN YOU” mixtape was made to apologize. He slapped a female fan in the face at a packed nightclub.
This isn’t even the first time the 30-year-old has struck another rapper. Cam Coldheart was attacked by DaBaby in Southpark Mall in 2019 after some online back and forth. DaBaby posted a video on Instagram of Cam slumped over as proof of the beatdown.
No Regrets
In all these cases, DaBaby has cited self-defense as his reasoning. In a 2019 Billboard interview, the North Carolina native speaks on his legal woes and why he doesn’t worry. “At the end of the day, any legal situation that I got going on, I wasn’t in the wrong. And I’m the type of person, if I ain’t wrong, I’m gonna stand on that. I don’t lose no sleep at all with having sh– going on. I just let the work overpower the sh–.”
Clearly, his strategy of not stressing is working out. Bills, who initially approached DaBaby in the bowling alley that night, refuses to work with police or pursue charges. “I was never cooperating, you know, I was never gonna cooperate, I was never gonna put nobody in jail, I been in jail myself, so I was never gonna put nobody in that situation,” he said in an Instagram live. Similar to Bills, the woman struck by DaBaby in that club never ended up pursuing charges against the rapper. Moreover, one can say his fame has only increased after the event.
Who do you think is next on DaBaby’s chopping block? It’s anyone’s guess.
