DaBaby continues to try to clear his name. This time, the rapper is speaking about an alleged assault occurring in December 2020. DaBaby, real name Jonathan Kirk, rented a house for a video shoot. There were supposedly only supposed to be 12 people there. Kirk ended up getting into a verbal and, allegedly, physical altercation with the property manager. The rapper took to Twitter to air his grievances Saturday (Apr. 30). “Y’all keep believing these type of people & helping ’em assassinate my character.” The rapper concluded, saying, “Y’all might as well get a rope & help him hang my black ass on a tree.”

The rapper made accusations of his own against Gary Pagar, the man suing him over the alleged assault. Pagar stands accused of racism and lying to the Los Angeles Police Department. Specifically, DaBaby claims Pragar shouted the N-word and other derogatory language toward the rapper and his crew. Other accusations include lying to the press and spitting on the rapper. The TikTok, DaBaby shared, seems to prove his part of the story. You can see Prager shouting pejoratives at Kirk and his party.
History Doesn’t Matter To Some Fans, In This Case
While we don’t know how much DaBaby did or didn’t do, people would normally agree he’s at fault. DaBaby has a list of violent offenses, thing people once defended. In recent years, things have been resurfacing, including the 2018 shooting of Jaylin Craig. However, this case is different. Some fans believe DaBaby is in the right. Prager’s words render him a racist, and some argue this justifies a physical response. According to the lawsuit filed back in February, DaBaby’s cohort, Thankgod Awute, pushed Prager to the ground. The rapper then allegedly stuck the property owner, knocking out a tooth. There is a video of Prager’s assault, however, it doesn’t show the entire incident. DaBaby face’s felony assault charges alongside Awute. Only time will tell how the case plays out.
Gary prager is a white supremacist, he was unbelievably racist, I would have beat his ass too. Him talking to the cops he says the N word about 11 times. For the first time in history da baby is actually in the right here.
