Grammy-nominated rapper and Charlotte, NC native DaBaby is back in the headlines again, where it has been reported that the “ROCKSTAR” rapper was arrested in Beverly Hills, California on weapons-related charges.
The incident took place last week Thursday, where the rapper and his entourage were walking with a group of men on Rodeo Drive when security called police, claiming that a person in DaBaby’s entourage had a gun in their waistband while in a store, shopping.
According to multiple reports from Billboard, CBS Los Angeles, and Associated Press, the “BOP” rapper and his entourage were detained at 4:45 p.m. when they had returned to their vehicle, where the rapper was arrested on charges of carrying a concealed weapon and carrying a loaded firearm in the vehicle.
However, the entourage detained along with the rapper was released on the scene.
The 29-year old North Carolina native, whose real name is Jonathan Kirk, has been involved in several incidents that made it to the news headlines before.
In 2019, Kirk was involved in an incident in Huntersville, North Carolina, where a 19-year-old man, named Jalyn Craig, was shot in the abdomen and died soon after. He confirmed his involvement in the shooting and said: “he acted in self defense”.
The most serious charges were dropped in March 2019, and he pleaded guilty to carrying a concealed weapon, a misdemeanor
Back in January of 2020, Kirk was detained and questioned in Miami in connection with a robbery investigation. He was later arrested after authorities found he had a warrant out in Texas.
The warrant stemmed from a battery charge, where reports stated he and his associates allegedly took $80 cash, an iPhone 7, and a credit card from a promoter. Kirk was charged with battery and released from Miami-Dade County jail within 48 hours.
Since then, the rapper was released on a $35,000 bond and scheduled to appear in court on March 25th.
