The New Year isn’t exactly off to a good start for DaBaby. The platinum-selling rapper was reportedly arrested on weapons charges in Beverly Hills on Thursday night (January 7).
According to TMZ, DaBaby was leaving the Moncler store on Rodeo Drive when he and three other men were surrounded by police just as they were about to drive off in their black SUV. Law enforcement sources say someone inside the store called the police and reported they were carrying weapons.
DaBaby and his entourage were detained while officers searched their vehicle. They ultimately uncovered one handgun and the 29-year-old was taken into custody for carrying a loaded firearm, a misdemeanor.
Footage of the stop shows officers telling DaBaby and his friends to roll down their windows before he’s asked to step out of the vehicle. He’s then walked onto the sidewalk and ultimately placed in handcuffs — mask on.
DaBaby is coming off a monster year, earning Grammy Award nominations in the Record of the Year, Best Melodic Rap Performance Pending and Best Rap Song categories for his collaboration with Roddy Ricch “The Box” as well as the Best Rap Performance category for “BOP.”
DaBaby Released From Jail Following Arrest For Battery
He also nabbed 12 nominations at the 2020 BET Hip Hop Awards (although he didn’t take home a single award). Meanwhile, his third studio album, Blame It On Baby, debuted at No. 1 on the Billboard 200, reeling in over 124,000 total album-equivalent units in its first week.
In December 2020, the Charlotte native shared an Instagram video of himself cruising around with a blunt in his hand, a gun and the caption, “Buss down Cartier’s, new Master P,” a preview of his forthcoming song “Master P.”
Da baby was not in the song, the box tf.
He Was On The Remix
Lmao, I have no words. At least the journalist knows we read the article
Transformer!
I had to read it again. He was referring to Roddy as “the box song”rapper
Why do you need a gun in Beverly Hills? Gotta love this country. They can go shopping unscathed in our neighborhoods, but try going to theirs. See how long you last.
And u see how you all can go to the White House and destroy things but we can’t do ignorant shit such as that without being killed??♀️ You see the difference???
Was he killed? Strange? How many black people were killed by the police during the protests? Oh, none. That’s right. LOL.
Because the black people weren’t doing anything illegal
My bad i was tryna send this to duh
Plenty blacks have died from protests over the years. Why is it so fucking hard to accept your race does fucked up shit and think you own a country that was illegally taken, bro your ancestors are murderes, rapist, thieves and everything in between. Keep that shit to yourself and Crawl back to your cage you call life. Because your dumb as Rick.
Didn’t a white girl get shot? Also, it was the capitol building. But the White House. Maybe actually inform yourself before trying to sound intelligent. Dummy!
Your neighborhood but we was allowed in your house when we were slaves
are you in chains and pickin cotton? no?? then stfu and evolve you dumb ass. this is the reason yall are still stuck in this current mentality. gtfoh
No you cant walk through unscathed. Everybody else does just fine. And about your hood. I dont give a fuck about it. Get every thing I need else where. . Dont even need to know the name of your habitacion. Its meaningless.
This moron is posting himself smoking blunts while playing with a gun in a car. LOL. Da Baby is going to pay hundreds of thousands of da Dollars to Da Lawyers. He’ll probably end up on Da Probation and eventually go to Da Jail.
Clearly you’re the moron because you can clearly see that he moved the gun to one side from another and WASN’T playing with it!
I was tryna send it to huh
And once I was released out of custody I would be going back returning all the shit I just bought out that store his money was good to purchase shit but then y’all waited until the transaction was done to call the police yup I would need a refund ASAP…
Let me guess – the cops were just being ray ciss, for this gud boi din du nuf fin, yo.
Suck a looooooong di*I k … Everything not black nor white dumb azz
Dababy starting out on the wrong foot,like u said those Lawydrs wont get tired of taking your Money .So with that being said HUMBLE YOURSELF.
Its going to be a racial thing because thats all people know these days im not saying it was right or wrong because in the end does it really dont matter i don’t get why everyone likes to take stuff personally just saying
if went to jail right now noone would care i wouldn’t want anyone in my business either its all fucked up on so many different levels and every one cant seem to figure out who to blame so they blame the person beside them black or white or purple it doesn’t matter if it’s beneficial for the other person your getting blamed
Let’s be honest I love Dababy but him recording himself with a gun is silly he got nothing left to prove!!! He’s a millionaire!!! He was in the right “neighborhood” just his color looked wrong to the employee and I’m sure some jealousy of rich black folk came about and boom the cops were called and the cops knows he’s a millionaire but this gave them an “opportunity” to feel good about arresting him. what was the need to search the car???? Because a store employee said something lol this world has nothing better to do. My point is if it was Ben affleck would the suv be searched?
I don’t think Ben Affleck would be stupid enough to ride around Beverly Hills with a bunch of thugs and a loaded firearm in the car. It you’re trying to make this a racial thing, I can’t imagine, say, Denzel Washington or Sam L. Jackson doing this dumb shit either.
Exactly.i have read about this 3 different times and im still confused as to why they searched his car
Stop giving these devils your money. Grow your mind. Mind your dollars.
?IF I WAS LIL BABY I WOULDN’T GO BACK TO THAT STORE, OK. CLEARLI Y RASCIST EMPLOYEE INSTEAD OF MINDING HER OB BUSINESS.☹

You’re one of the PROUD BOYS? you will never understand what it means to be black so we don’t need your racist comments and further more rather it was the State Capital or the White House you knew exactly what he meant. Being able to climb over walls, steal, murder, and take pictures in the State Capital in the mist of a meeting, and afterwards being able to go home with a few put in jail. But I forgot that’s what WHITE PRIVILEGE LOOK LIKE. I tell you what you stay with that What Privilege and let us comment on our own. Laughing
I see retard season is in full swing. What was he thinking?? smh
Notice when the kid walked by he didn’t look at anyone but the cop. That should tell you something right there alone. He wasn’t worried about anything accept the cop!
Were they in the store flashing the pistol or was it just on their hip? People see our color and a pistol then think “oh shit robbery” we need to start spending our money with our own people anyways because we’re not respected elsewhere
Should spend his money in the Black community i don’t feel sorry for him.
It’s stupid for these rappers to showcase themselves as “billy bad asses” and not expect to be harassed, even when they’re not committing a crime. However, they still have rights not to be illegally stopped and frisked because someone is intimidated just by the sight of them. They have the right to have fun and enjoy the fruits of their labor as long as they’re not hurting anyone.
The one of the cop. They should’ve killed every one of those rioters
